When you look at yourself in a mirror (and a spoon is basically a curved mirror), what you see is the image that’s produced when light bounces off of your face, off of the mirror, and comes back to you. If you’re looking into a flat mirror, the light will come straight back to you without bending at all. But a curved mirror will bend the light differently.
When the light bounces off of your face and then off of a curved mirror, it won’t come straight back at you, but will go off at an angle, instead. You can imagine this as if one little part of the mirror (or the spoon) was flat, then the light wouldn’t bounce straight back ... like if you bounced a ball off of the ground, but you did it at an angle - it wouldn’t come straight back at you, but it would go off at the same angle as it hit the ground.
Pretty much it has to do with it being curved.

That's a really good questions haha. I think it has something to do with the grain of the spoon on each side. It can be different on both sides.
