Have you seen the new show The Taste? If you haven't then all you really need to know is that contestants serve the celebrity chefs on bite sized spoons. They don't reveal their face until after the chefs have tasted and voted on the food. Anyway.. I was inspired by their spoons, so I got a mega-spoon. Definitely not a bite sized spoon, but that is why it is perfect!
