@Sooner   Now that you mention it, I was watching Pride and Predjudice (for the millionth time) this weekend, and they were eating soup with  ginormous spoons....   (It does seem like risky business, shmutz-wise.)

I do have regular soup spoons (tablespoons) for liquidy soups and the rounder/deeper kind for creamy soups.  Generally I don't use the latter unless we have company.

There is such a thing as a soup spoon. It is rounded and not oblong like a teaspoon and a tablespoon.

Yes!  These are the ones I was referring to, although I believe they are mainly for creamy soups and bisques.

Now I'm sitting here thinking what spoons do I use for what foods or drinks.  LOL

I know I use teaspoons to taste while I'm cooking.  That's a for sure...

Very rarely do we ever use teaspoons.  We mainlly use the  iced tea spoons for just about everything and soup spoons for soup.  I find them too short to be good for much of anything.

@proudlyfromNJ   There are cream soup spoons, bouillion spoons, and gumbo spoons that are rounded.  The bouillion are the smallest, cream soups middle sized and gumbo spoons are the largest.

I have no reason where all this got started except bouillion used to be popular and there were little 2-handled bouillion cups you could drink it out of.  Who knew?  LOL!!!

I had a relative who was into flatware and trivia.  There is a hobby for everyone I guess!  

I found some stainless cream soup spoons years ago and bought them and we use them a lot.  Silversuperstore is the only retail place I know where you can get all sorts of flatware like this in stainless!  It's fun to look at their web site.

@Bri369   Me too!

I follow Laura Slatkin on Instagram.

She posts pictures of her tables when they entertain.  I have never seen so many pieces of flatwear on a table.  It looks like they entertain royalty.  LOL

Tablespoons.  Maybe, I have a big mouth.  Lol.

I use teaspoons all the time.  Several times a day.  I even prefer them with soup, because it slows down eating and allows me to enjoy my soup longer!
