wooden spoon
A wooden spoon is a utensil commonly used in food preparation.
== History ==
The word ''spoon'' derives from an ancient word meaning a chip of wood or horn carved from a larger piece.〔Encyclopædia Britannica, 15th edition, volume IX.〕 Wooden spoons were easy to carve and thus inexpensive, making them common throughout history.
The Iron Age Celts (C. 250BC) of Britain used them. This is evidenced by an example of a small ladle discovered during archaeological excavations at the Glastonbury Lake Village. Roman period spoons have been recovered from excavations in the City of London. The Anglo Saxons were great workers of wood, as were the Vikings, and both these groups of settlers to the British Isles produced wooden spoons for domestic uses.
