Here’s the scoop on sauce spoon

I thought you might enjoy some history on the creation of the sauce spoon [“Sauce Spoon Sighting!” Aug. 24].

This fabulous sauce spoon was launched in 1950 in the Paris restaurant Lasserre. Its raison d’etre was very specific. It was created to transport delicious French sauce, usually from the fish course, from a flat plate to the diner’s lips -- without the use of bread.

In these times, I think we can call it the low-carb spoon!
