Spoon
I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be another eating utensil at the side of the plate. I have just finished eating supper which included yellow hominy and decided a slotted spoon needs to be added. Why? Well, for the life of me, I couldn't keep more than a half dozen of those golden morsels on my fork. Oh, but you say, "You need better hand coordination and balance". But I say, "Even with great dexterity only six or eight will fit on a fork". Why a slotted spoon? For two reasons,,,one sneaky. The spoon for hominy, great northern, pinto, navy, and garbonza beans and English peas. The slots are for the sneaky part. They're for soup. How many times have you dipped into a great bowl of vegetable and got mostly liquid? I'm all for the liquid part. Without it, it wouldn't be soup,,,just mixed vegetables. If the spoon was a regular part of setting,,,using it for beans and such, it would be there for the soup if served and nobody would be embarrassed to use it. You could call it the bean spoon. I, myself, love the liquid part of soup. In fact, I work very hard to make it great. But, I solve the liquid part by never eating it without crackers or cornbread in it. But, I still need it for the beans and stuff.

That is such a good idea I am surprised I didnt think of it myself.
I do appreciate the \'thinkness\' of \'stew\'. Soup is fantastic but when robust to the place of \'stew\', with crackers or what have you, the large spoon is turned back into a friend. There are small serving spoons with decorate slots that would work well in such \'soupy\' situations.
