ml1213: Kawai: the chinese began to use spoon thousands of years ago
That's correct.
Yeah and African apes use sticks to poke out tree grubs...of course they used spoons. I can't think of one culture on the planet of Earth that never used a spoon. Kan't eat soup with a knife, fork, kebab, spork, or chop stick. Somewhere along the lines of each culture someone probably had the bright idea of hay...a flat iron spatula with a large dent on one end can be used to capture hot liquid in it.
Now I have become skillet, The destroyer of eggs.
