I don't understand people that like big forks and big spoons like why

My largest spoon is just funny. I don't like eating with it, but I appreciate that it's not small enough to be a spoon while at the same time not being large enough to be a ladle.

Is that an American thing? In Australia, a ladle is the kind of scoop-looking spoon with a handle that goes straight up. What you would use to serve soup. We call spoons that look like big desert spoons ‘Chef’s Spoon’.

I used the word that came more naturally to me, but the Swedish word for it would be "slev" and I'd argue the word can both be a traditional scooped ladle or a huge spoon depending on context. Ladle seemed synonymous.

I think ladle is more the term in English for the scooped sort, and you would use a descriptor for a large spoon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladle_(spoon)
