Long handled teaspoon?

Ice tea spoon?

Ice cream spoon?

Dessert spoon?

What do you call this spoon?

I call these Iced Tea Spoons

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Amazon calls them latte spoons, but to me they're sundae spoons!

I'm only 65! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

That looks like the perfect spoon to help me retrieve pickled eggs from the bottom of a quart jar without attempting to spear them with a fork for 10 minutes!

Pickled egg spoon???

Hubby calls them Parfait spoons. Not sure what a parfait is... but if you put "parfait spoon" into Mr G...le's images, you get pictures like the ones above.

(Actually, it may be that I don't *want* to know because I think it's some sort of tall, cold desert I'm not allowed to eat.)

mundane 'long handled tea spoon' here, but if you're offering a knickerbocker glory I think I would need one!

We call them long handled spoons.  Last time we bought some, the shop called them sherbet spoons.

Everyone (for at least 3 generations back, from me) in both sides of my family have called them 'iced tea spoons'.

(But we've used them for everything else listed, plus rootbeer floats, olives, cherries, etc, and even scooping out the last of the peanut butter. )

They are very useful for many things they weren't intended for! In fact today I wanted to eat the leftovers in a 1 liter glass jar. I grabbed a parfait spoon and it did the job nicely.

My mother called them "iced tea spoons" but I prefer to use my grandpa's term for them. "The long-uns"

When you're trying to get the goodies from the bottom of a tall jar, nothing beats a long-un and a fondue fork.

My dear late Mum adored a Knickerbocker Glory, so-called I guess because it made someone think about a 'long shorts' garment pinched at the knees (including bloomers!?)?

So these were always, "knickerbocker glory spoons" in our house.
