Which spoons belong in your cutlery set?

To set a table properly, you should have different spoons to hand. A dinner spoon is needed to eat soup or pasta. This is a universal piece of cutlery that, along with the dinner fork and the dinner knife, is required for – almost – every meal.

What is a dinner spoon?

The dinner spoon is the large spoon in the table cutlery. It is also called a soup spoon or tablespoon and is used as a universal piece of cutlery. You can eat many different dishes with it – such as soups in particular, but also spaghetti. It is one of two spoons that are most often set out. The other spoon is the smaller teaspoon or coffee spoon.

Where is the dinner spoon placed on the table?

If you want to set a table properly, then each cutlery item must be in its established place. You eat from the outside in. This means that the cutlery is placed in the order of the menu. If the first course is soup, the spoon is placed to the far right of the table knife or dinner knife. The exception to this is when spaghetti is being served or you are setting up for a left-handed person. In this case, the spoon is placed to the left of the plate.

Fun spoon facts
