LOL at some of the comments

Just wondering about alternatives??

If he took his finger and and swabbed the food from the spoon to his mouth - would that have been better?

Dumped the spoonful in his hand and licked it off his hand???

What was the "proper" way?

If you have to ask... I probably don't want to attend a gathering at your home.

To answer your question: I presume a second clean spoon was available to replace the contaminated spoon.
