I have the ubiquitous flatware set at home. I ignore all the spoons for the most part. Why? Introducing the Korean Dinner Spoon. I bought a few to reach into a food thermos easily. The handle is longer than the usual spoon. Now it’s all I use. I bought 4 in total. Great for cooking and eating. The extra length is awesome. Not sure why it’s designed longer. I took it to Dairy Queen once to avoid the lame slender OEM plastic spoon. My wife wanted it.

Now you know what I know. :)

I have several long handled teaspoons. I've always thought of them as having been created for and used for ice-tea.
But I admit I love them, jam jars, cooking and yup, eating too!

Haven't really looked but haven't seen them anywhere. Would buy a set perhaps as gifts - that's how great I think they are.
 
I have a similar type soup spoon, but not as long. And many of those long spoons, like DL has - one in my upstairs bathroom, which I use for stirring various things into the watering pitcher, when I have my seedlings in the room up there.

And my favorite soup spoons are those large white porcelain Chinese soup spoons.

Ice tea spoons are for stirring sugar into a tall glass of tea.

this is heavier. I think it's for strategic advantage when diving for BanChan family style at a big table. extra reach. :D
 
As a kid, the thing I liked best about the ceramic spoons was that you didn't burn your lips on a hot metal soup spoon. I still appreciate that.
