It occurred to me recently that we hardly ever use teaspoons for anything but ice cream now.  When I was growing up you were supposed to get twice as many teaspoons because you used them often for soup, cereal and coffee stirring.

Now I reach for the bigger soup spoon or we use round-bowl cream soup spoons a lot to eat soups and cereal. 

I think back to the Oneida Paul Revere flatware set we got when we were married, in ancient times, and it seems so small now compared to a lot of the flatware today. And we have become used to the bigger sizes (husband is especially happy with that).

So I thought it would be interesting to see what others use most.  I would really miss the cream soup spoons if we didn't have them.

I use long-handled teaspoons the most. With those I can reach the bottom of some containers. My tablespoons don't have long handles so I don't use those as much. I eat with regular teaspoons. My mouth is very small so those fit. LOL!

I use many more teaspoonsfor eating. Larger spoons mostly used to spoon out dog food from the can.

I would have to say a large serving spoon.

i don't even set the table with spoons anymore... just a knife and fork.

We really don't eat many foods that require a spoon, especially during the summer months.

Soup spoon

I use many different spoons but I would have to say teaspoons are what we use the most.  Those are always the most that are in the dishwasher!

I use teaspoons the most unless I'm eating soup or cereal. I also use salad forks instead of dinner forks. It does help me eat more slowly which helps my digestion.

I happened to find a good amount of tasting spoons. They are about half the size of a teaspoon, with a short handle. I am amazed by how much I use them.
