spoon

A spoon is a utensil used for eating.

When we talk about using a spoon, it's usually referring to eating soup, cereal, or other soft foods. We use spoons to scoop up food and bring it to our mouths. Sometimes we might need to stir our food with a spoon before taking a bite. Spoons come in different sizes and shapes, but their main job is always the same - to help us eat comfortably.
