A French sauce spoon or saucier spoon is a spoon that is typically the size and shape of a dessert spoon, but with a flattened bowl that has a thinner edge and a small notch on one side. As the name suggests, a French sauce spoon is used to eat the sauce accompanying a dish. Such a spoon may be referred to simply as a sauce spoon, but this can also refer to a spoon used to serve sauce. The spoon's flattened bowl and thin edge aids scooping a thin layer of sauce from a plate without resorting to tipping the plate; the notch in the bowl is variously claimed to allow oil or fat to drain away from the sauce, or to be a reference to the notch in a fish knife. Originally invented in France at the restaurant Lasserre in 1950 (chef René Lasserre) as the ''cuillère à sauce individuelle'' (individual sauce spoon) and originally found mainly in France, French sauce spoons are becoming increasingly popular in high-end restaurants elsewhere. == References == * "(Sauce spoon sighting! )", Los Angeles Times, August 29th, 2005 * "(Don't be bullied by the sauce spoon )", ''eatocracy,'' CNN, June 12th, 2012 * "(Adventures in etiquette: Everything you wanted to know about the sauce spoon )", ''Charles The Butler'', Metro Canada, August 1st, 2013 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French sauce spoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
