Do you like to spoon?


As an adult, there's a certain almost imperceptible satisfaction of eating one's meal with a spoon. No knife, fork, tongs or chop stick. Just the pure function of a miniature bowl smoothly molded to the end of a rod.

Just the spoon.

It is without a doubt a subtle pleasure, but one worth pursuing nonetheless. Of course to discover the simple joy of it, preparation is key. Without forethought and proper planning, what should be a wafting drift back to an uncomplicated time in life could easily digress into unadulterated frustration leading to a completely lacking experience. Finding an entire meal comprised of small elements and bite-sized ingredients is not an everyday encounter.

So when you do chance upon a meal which does not require the dexterity of two handed consumption, try not having to try to be Miss Manners School of Etiquette's teacher's pet.

Try spooning for lunch.

Oh, by the way, soup and desserts don't count.

I was thinking 'spoon' in another more fulfilling context.
