   If you’re starving in the desert…

   Just eat the sand which is there.

   Yes.

   I’ve never been there, but I’ve seen Korean bowls and cups, in fact pretty much all kinds of tableware, made of metal, as well.

   Have some soup in a Chinese restaurant, or some pho in a Vietnamese one, and you’ll get a Chinese style spoon to use.

   They’re traditionally porcelain, but nowadays I see more unbreakable melamine.

   They have deep bowls, which sit on flat bottoms, and their short handles slant up at an angle.

   They hold more soup than western spoons.

   You can even use chopsticks to put food into one to cool, or to eat noodles out of one.

    

   Japanese ones are a little flatter, and I’ve seen, but never used, special wooden ones for noodles.

   Korean spoons are a different shape, and metal, and are also used there to eat rice, rather than chopsticks.

   Lotsa spoons in Asia.
