I'm not normally a cereal person but a box of something was bought in error and rather than waste it, I'm using it up.

Every morning when I open the cutlery drawer, I am torn as to which spoon I should be using.

I've been tending to go for the trusty dessert spoon, but I suspect that this is because I'm a pig and it allows me to shovel more in.

Is a teaspoon more the done thing?

You can get more in with a soup spoon, fyi, with less spillage

What a bizarre question...

Teaspoon is obviously best - especially for Rice Krispies.

Good thread.

Oddly I use a dessert spoon for cereal, but a teaspoon for desserts at home. Savouring every moment.

When I'm out I am too emberassed to use a teaspoon, so use whatever cutlery is provided for deserts.

But cereal dessert spoon every time, mainly due to time in the morning I suspect.

Why would anyone even consider eating cereal with a teaspoon?!

Didn't Alan Sugar lose a lot of weight by eating his meals with cake forks and teaspoons. Reason being it takes longer, so you get full quicker and eat less

Agree with this. Though our last cutlery set purchase came with tea spoons that are much larger than the standard teaspoon, about 40% on the way to being a dessert spoon. These are absolutely perfect for eating pud in it's various forms. Dessert spoons just mean the whole lot is gone way too quickly.

Not heard that but done with discipline it would be a spectacularly successful weight loss strategy. So many of people's excess calories are consumed when foods are scoffed down quickly.

No egg spoon for boiled eggs? No big F off spoon with long handle for cooking - one without holes, one with? No wooden spoons?

Amateur.

Desert spoon, obvs.

Edit: that’s the first time I’ve looked at the spelling of “spoon”; weird word, really.

Teaspoon. Girlfriend thinks I'm mental.

Edit: and now reading through the replies on here I guess a lot of others will think I am too!

Teaspoon every time but for a very good reason. Don't often have cereal but I'm on a diet and when I do have it I am only allowed 40g. I eat it with a teaspoon to make it last longer... 6 Stone gone forever, 7 by Christmas... I'm on it!
