Spoons

The spoon story

Appeared long before the fork, the spoon was once - along with the knife - the only personal kitchen utensil (also widely used in the kitchen for preparation of dishes).

The term "spoon" comes from the word cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped snail shell. The Anglo-Saxon word spoon, means a chip or splinter of wood. Indeed, the Romans used them to taste these small shellfish.
The first spoons were made of wood, and in the countryside they were then a utensil cut from one piece. Gradually, pewter, horn, copper or even seashells spoons began to appear. During the Renaissance, these tools became real collector's items, the spoons were decorated and sometimes even enriched with precious stones.
