| has gloss | eng: A salt spoon is a miniature utensil used with an open salt cellar for indiviual service. It is a historical relic from a time when table salt was consumed in greater quantity. As such, it required its own dish and accompanying spoon. The spoon itself ranges from 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) long and has a circular bowl measuring approximately 0.5 to 0.75 inches (1.25 to 2 cm). Due to changes in taste and the recognition of the hazards of excessive salt, salt presentation in this manner has become largely obsolete. |
