Where’s Flanders and the Leftorium when you need him!
[Shakes left fist in the air.]
Even as a fellow southpaw, I think a little clarification is in order. Spoons have always struck me as being more or less symmetrical, from a usage perspective.
I received a couple of very nice wooden cooking spoons that were definitely curved for right handed people. They are so freaking difficult to cook with. I mean, they’re fine if I use my right hand, but as a lefty, I usually use my left hand. Some years later my mother found some gorgeous olive wood cooking spoons that came in a set of two, made specifically for left-handed cooks. I love those spoons.
You have to turn it around so the concave part is up. Similarly, when moving a knife to your left hand, you have to turn it so the sharp side is doing the cutting. You’ll get it in no time!
No, I think you’re right. My spoons are all right handed. When I try to eat soup holding the spoon in my left hand, I spill it all over everywhere.
Left handed forks of the world are outraged that they have been so marginalized.
I just looked in the mirror.
Yep, I’m definitely more or less symmetrical.
I am enjoying imagining the thread title being said in the voice of Vector from Despicable Me.
I can imagine a right-handed spoon, but I don’t know why you would take something previously ambidextrous and cut off 10% of users.
When my daughter was a year old, we had lunch at a friend’s place.
Beta-chan got to sleep in my right arm after being really fussy. I decided to try eating with my left hand rather than risk waking her. Chopsticks are a little more difficult that way, but somehow I was managing. The friends apparently thought I was one of those people who live in a foreign country and never assimilate.
A cutlery producer might not want their product used for sinister purposes.
In my 6 decades of life, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a spoon that wasn’t symmetrical.
When I was a baby, my grandmother presented my mother with a spoon and fork set for me. And indeed, a right-handed spoon it was. For a left-handed kid. My mother said I was rather inventive in trying to feed myself with it. I’m sure if I’d known curse words at the time, I’d have used them.
The right wing is notoriously minority-exclusionist. 
If you don’t mind baby spoons, this site has you covered.
They also have something maybe closer to what you want, but I say, if you’re going for a left-handed spoon, get one that leaves no doubt.
This! It’s a spoon and a ladle, actually, which have both incurred my sinister wrath.
The spoon is a wooden cooking spoon, but instead of being symmetrically round, it’s angled on the bottom, to make it better for scraping the bottom of the pot when you’re stirring.
Except, when you use it in your left hand, it doesn’t connect with the bottom of the pan, except the very tip of the angle, so I have to switch to the right hand.
And the ladle: it’s a nice ladle, with a pour spout on one side. But that means it’s designed for the right hand: dip it in the pot, then pour the liquid into the bowl in front of you.
Except for the left hand, it’s backwards and the scoop of the ladle points left, instead of in front of you. Or you have to hold it with the scoop of the ladle behind the handle, to get it to point to the bowl in front of you.
It’s not like I can’t use my right hand, being ambi and all, but it breaks up a nice cooking rhythm when I have to use the hand that fits the tool, instead of having a tool to fit my hand.
It’s nothing personal.
