      I spent way too long wondering why your sentence looked wrong. I re-read it several times but it all seemed fine, I mean, that’s obviously how you spell ladel. But then I realised it’s actually ladle, and English is stupid.

      A while back, I got one of those ladles that separates out the theoretically undesirable fat/oil from soup. We don’t consume a lot of soup, but have occasionally had the opportunity to appreciate the ladle. I’d recommend one, but probably wouldn’t give it as a gift.

      edit: At least not a special occasion gift.
