*AMERICAN “TABLE SPOON”* —>
-[14.8 mL]-
.
In most English-speaking regions, the term now refers to a large spoon used for serving,
however, in some regions, including parts of Canada, it is the largest type of spoon used for eating
.
By extension, the term is used as a measure of volume in cooking.
In this capacity, it is most commonly abbreviated tbsp or T, and occasionally referred to as a tablespoonful to distinguish it from the utensil
.
(the unit of measurement varies by region:
a United States tablespoon is approximately 14.8 ml,
a United Kingdom tablespoon is exactly 15 ml,
and an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml
.
*the ‘capacity’ of the ‘utensil’ (as opposed to the ‘measurement’) is not defined by ‘law’ or ‘custom and bears no particular relation to the measurement*
