[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Htaf am I meant to cut a JP with a knife and fork in a bowl?

What's a JP?

ok Prince Charming, wtaf is a JP?

It's not just the bowls though, is it?

Went for a meal last friday (10 of us) and Mum said meal was fine but she would have preferred it served on a plate instead of the chopping board thingy

Jacket potato!

John Prescott? Juicy pear?

ah (thanks MKR)

but it stops all the luvverlie butter and cheese escaping

I prefer spag bol in a bowl,easier to manage,and stir fry,mostly i prefer my food on a nice round white plate,

Yes, whats a JP when it's about?

Oh and FryOne, I had a burger meal served on a chopping board the other day and all the ruddy chips kept falling off the ends

Poncy and impractical so totally with your mum on that.

Yabu, it's easier to contain the buttery goo at the bottom of the dish and mop up with the potato skin. Not poncetastic, just use fingers for that bit.

I prefer big flattish bowls to a plate. Harder to send your food flying over the side. I like the chopping board style where it makes sense such as for a Ploughmans or a pizza.

Looks like YABU op

Mum had a steak , chips and peas, all with potential to drop off the board! Cousin had the same, along with a sauce to go on the steak, so even more potential to get messy....

I had gammon steak and got lucky - I got a plate.

Jacket potayto you tweedles.

But how can you use you k&f properlike when you have sides to contend wuth?

SB is fine - that's a forking meal, non?

But what's [adam ant] ?

Rant?

you have to eat it with the fork only, like your mum's not watching and you've sneaked into the lounge to eat it in front of the TV

I so am NOT, EchoVitch!

And don't OP me, please, makes me feel all lonely and sad.

It certainly is a forking meal Chaos.

I hate chopsticks,we went to a friends last Saturday and had Chinese and were given bloody chopsticks,i had to ask for a fork,CBA with fucking around with CPs while my Singapore noodles go cold in their bowl.

Soup, stir-fry, spag bol, curries, paella, naice salad - meals we regularly cook that are eaten from a bowl (admittedly our bowls are wide and shallow, so more like a plate with sides iyswim).

Jacket potatoes are a plate meal though! Same with steak, roast dinners, fajitas (and assorted Mexican food inna wrap).

Crumbles in corner?...sorry,

Apple crumble should be eaten from a bowl,with lashings of custard.

KenLeeeeeee's bowl meals sound good and I'd add any rice meal eg risotto.

Jacket potatoes should be on a plate. Agree with Chaos on that one!

Why tvym, FryOne.

See?

I knew I was right alwats am.

Steak is great served on a board though so you can cut it properly. Peas probably need their own little dish in such cases though.

I had a meal on a slab of slate once. Looked pretty enough but the experience was somewhat spoiled as cutting anything was akin to scraping your nails down a blackboard each time you wanted another mouthful. Shudder.
