How may I use mine correctly? Answer: By all means use your dessert spoons. They may be used for cereals at breakfast, for soup at luncheon, except when you use bouillon cups, when you must use bouillon spoons. Use your dessert spoons for various desserts such as chocolate pudding, rice pudding or tapioca, but not for ice cream. Above all dont let the spoons lie idle.
