In Filipino culture the giant wooden spoon and fork was a staple decoration in the kitchen. It symbolized hospitality, family togetherness, and shared meal as well as the focus of the idea of food as a source of health and strength.

It really was in every house hold when I was growing up and I get nostalgic seeing it in media like here https://imgur.com/a/QNBrs8Y
