Expressing quantity

Hi there,

I was wondering if it would be natural to say in English "to eat something by the spoon", by which I mean "to eat a whole spoonful of something"?

Thank you for your help in advance.

No, it's not natural. eat something by the spoonful means eat a series of spoonfuls.
