Spoon - a spoon and knife can deal with pretty much anything that wants to be eaten with a fork, but sometimes, there’s no replacement for our good friend, the spoon… Plus the dish won’t have anyone to run away with, if the spoon isn’t around!

I’ll drink my soup right out of the bowl, I will, and put my ice cream in a cone.
