Hey everyone!! Have you ever stopped and wondered why we call that big spoon for soups and stews a ladle? šŸ„£ It has been bugging me lately. Any ideas out there?
I mean, think about it. We use ladles all the time in the kitchen, but have we ever thought about where the name came from? šŸ¤” It's not like we sit around ladling over the dictionary to find out. But hey, maybe someone out there has some insight to share. Let's share the knowledge, folks!

I believe you can up your BBQ game by using premium components, such as well-marbled meat cuts and freshly ground herbs and spices. šŸ„©šŸŒæI think the term "ladle" might have originated from the Old English word "hladan," meaning "to load or draw out." šŸ„„
