What the fuck is the purpose of all these different kinds of wooden spoons?

Also, what are the basic cooking utensils that a kitchen needs?

Those spoons are pretty basic.

Yeah, but what about the one with the single hole in the center, or the one that's like a fork but shitty? What are they for?

My mom has a set of like a dozen wooden spoons like that, when I go over to cook I just choose whatever one I think is best.

different types of pasta and fond scraping

The one with a single hole in the center is a spaghetti spoon, the amount of dry pasta that fills the hole is enough for one serving, so you don't make too much

That curved fucker is called the stealth fondle.
When anyone's cooking or plating with their legs open, you use it to either lovingly cup their balls or give them a quick donk on the nuts.

one of em is a back scratcher

Red tip: Silicon spatula (good for quenelles)
Curved love spoon: Sack fondler
Every spoon that's flat at the end: Cooking spoon; actually gets to the bottom of pans
Every spoon that's rounded: Inferior version of the above.
Fork spoon: Scraping
Spoon with hole: Folding stuff (like cake batter)
Wooden Meat Fork: Name tells its own story
Slotted spoon: Straining stuff, extremely badly

Spoons that appear to just be sticks: Prodding devices?

They're for people who know what they are for or for suckers that clutter their kitchen with shit they don't need.

As you become a better cook and learn what you like to cook you discover the tools you need. When the reverse happens you usually end up wasting money

That's good advice, actually. So its safe to say that I'd be fine with a regular wooden spoon and a flat tipped one?
