The spoons of Roger Souvereyns
The spoon is the oldest "cutlery", if we may call it that. In the strict sense it is the representation of the hollow of the hand or the cup formed by two hands. Mussel and oyster shells, animal bones resembling the joint cavity of the shoulder blade, the peel or bark of large fruits: these were the spoons of the Stone Age.
It was not until the end of the Stone Age that the first spoons carved from wood or bone appeared in Western Europe.
Although we primarily think of soup and desserts or perhaps even coffee when we think of a spoon, Roger Souvereyns conjures up entire menus in a spoon with fiery enthusiasm. In doing so, he pays his favourite cutlery an honour that it receives nowhere else. And when this tribute is also paid in the unparalleled setting of the Scholteshof, a composition is created that testifies to creativity and love for detail, which also deserves to be recorded.
