Does anyone else have a favourite teaspoon?

Or a daughter whose morning greeting is as likely to be:

as anything else.

I don"t need treatment for the teaspoon, do I?

No but I have a mug from the coronation of George VI

The teaspoon that I stole seemed to be exceptionally smoooth, and was therefore perfect for eating my Essential Waitrose chocolate mousse. The texture of the mousse and the spoon seemed to belong together.

The spoon is in my drawer, but I have not bought or eaten the aforementioned mousse since being made redundant, but at the time it did seem important to have the spoon!

I like to eat my cereal with a round spoon. OH prefers the oval ones, but they don't seem right to me!

Anne58 Fri 01-Jun-12 20:20:59

Anagram, isn't a round spoon a soup spoon?

Anagram Fri 01-Jun-12 20:40:59

Yes! But it's what I like! grin

So does that mean that you have to spoon the cereal away from you, or towards you?

Anagram Fri 01-Jun-12 20:58:43

Towards - that's what I do with soup too. Does that make me a pleb?

I've not got my Coronation teaspoon but I have a set of The Twelve Apostles tea-spoons that my mum had years ago minus one spoon I never ever found out what happened to it,I think mum got the set by sending away so many coupons off something she bought ? may be wrong.

I have an old, very thin, silver teaspoon with ES as a monogram inscribed on it, then a couple of slightly newer ones with BS, then one about 20 years old with US. They are part of my German step- mother-in law's silver, and clearly come from her mother and grand mother. She walked out of what was to become East Germany after the war, and so we know little of her history. Just the silver (and lots of other lovely things), a box of visiting cards (pre war) and the most beautiful pair of opera glasses in an Art Deco type case.

She was a lovely, kind woman and I loved her very much.
