In most American kitchens,
The spoons that you would eat with are equivalent to teaspoons. They hold approximately 5ml.
There are larger spoons called tablespoons that are primarily used for serving food from common dishes and called that because they were for “the table”. They hold approximately 15ml.
Personally, I like to use the tablespoons for eating soup.
- jrochkind1 6y agoI just tried to measure my actual eating spoons... I have two sizes in my kitchen, the larger one I think of as a "soup spoon" does seem to maybe be about a tablespoon indeed! I think. I may not have had the best technique to compare, trying to pour water from one to another (also 'almost filled it' can be deceiving depending on the shape of the thing, "almost" could really be ony around 60%). That the eating spoon is so much shallower than my actual 1 tbsp measuring spoon would make it less convenient to try to use it to measure for a recipe.
