Pour the blueberries in your hand and chew them by the mouthful.  Then swill a nice glass of white wine and orange juice.

Ah, going "Polish"

[garbon]

I like frozen blueberries with sugar.  It's a lovely summertime treat.

But a teaspoon, though?  Whiskey Teaspoon Foxtrot, man.  Pinky raised, too?

Seriously. Who eats with a teaspoon?

[DGuller]

   Do you people eat Snickers bars with your hands too?

[garbon]

  Do you people eat Snickers bars with your hands too?

That would make sense.

I think a normal person could eat blueberries with a spoon but not a teaspoon.

[Queequeg]

Is there something wrong with eating blueberries by the handful?   

[merithyn]

  Do you people eat Snickers bars with your hands too?

Of course not! Don't be gauche. We use our feet for those.

Wait. What? What's the difference?

This is what I call a teaspoon:


How is that different from the spoon that you're talking about?

[garbon]

I've only ever used it to describe the measuring spoon.  If that's the case though then I back DGul as blueberries in cream are best with a spoon not one's hands.

[DGuller]

Yeah, I don't get the distinction.  They just seem like spoons of different sizes to me.  Spoon will do just fine as well, but I usually have a lot more clean teaspoons lying around than clean spoons.

OK, well a teaspoon is not just a unit of measurement, it's also the smaller spoon that you will get in a cutlery set.

For pouring sugar into your tea and stirring with (but not putting back into the sugar after you've stirred), in fact.

Hence the name.

That's the way I was taught.  Not for any other uses.

Now, grapefruit spoons, those are cool.  Got teeth.

[garbon]

For that I'd use a smaller, atypical spoon. Not the regular size spoon.

Proper teaspoons have longer stems, because iced tea glasses are traditionally taller, thinner.  Think Tom Collins glasses.
