to think that sone food should NEVER be served in bowls?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

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

Huh?

Huh?

Tis total poncewankfrippery and utterly bypasses logic.

IANBU.

Ooh I LOVE eating out of a bowl shepherds pie, sausage & mash, spag bol, you name it!! so much simpler than things falling off my plate :) I shall add that I eat all of the above with a spoon... Ooh and I allways eat my cereal out of a pint glass lol.

Tell waggomamma that. We went there yesterday and everything was served in a bowl.
Most of countries in south east Asia eat using bowls.
YABU.

YANBU same goes for food separation.

Today had pie (in a pie dish), chips (in a bucket), gravy (in an odd kind of mini watering can thingy) and parsnips (odd choice in a mini dish).

I'm not paying so I can dish up myself [amgry].

Amgry?

You eat all the potato middle and filling with fork then pick up lovely crispy skin with fingers, old it a little and eat it like giant potato wedge then lick fingers in satisfaction.

It's not pretty or classy but its god.

Er good

Fold it a little FFS fecking iPad.

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

I want porridge on a plate. Then it'd be just the right temp and thickness for spoonfuls....we need a slightly round-edged Porridge Plate. I patent.

Chaos you are right - as always.
END OF.

Once had lunch with DH where he chose a starter of snails which came served on a slate. Kept expecting them to leap up and slither off.

YABvU as bowls prevent mess/spilage and fingers are for when cultery doesn't do the job properly.

I think I spelt spilage/spillage wrong but I'm not sure so I'm posting about it.

Spillage

We always use big flattish bowls - much nicer than plates imo.

WTF is a jacket potato?

Oi, crashdoll and Loveweekends10.

Grr.

Read the friffing title.

I said some foods! Almost.

You know, a baked potato in its skin.

I don't like bowls except to soup, salad and cereal.

Chaos is right.

::gavel::

YANBU.

Can I throw in small plates too? Where everything is piled mountain like and there's no room for manoeuver? Why not an actual PLATE SIZED plate, why?!

Surely the fact that jacket potatoes can be eaten in a polystyrene tray with a plastic fork whilst walking means they are universal?
They can be eaten out of foil from the fire first too.

Chaos, this is stealth boast isn't it? To show you are too good for those of us that don't have a handy knife or table?

you big ponce

You can't eat the skin in a polystyrene tray with a plastic fork WHILST walking though, and the skin is the best bit. (I hate walking and eating, it's not snobbery, I just can't do it, I tend to fall over... never been a multi tasker).
