To ask if you eat casserole from a bowl or a plate?!

[bea179]

Eating a casserole right now... DP thinks I'm mental for putting it in a bowl. No one eats it off a plate right?!

Plate. You can't mop up the juices/gravy with bread in a bowl, the surface area isn't good enough.

Then again, I'm uncouth and northern.

Pasta bowl

I've also never tasted a dumpling.

Plate

MrsKoala What fresh hell is this. You need to try a dumpling, or three. Yum.

For clarity, we are talking about the suet pastry ones, not the Asian mini pastie things .

Are you all five!

The only savoury food to eat from a bowl is soup.

Everything else from a plate with a knife and fork at a table

only half joking

On a plate with veg and potatoes. I don't care if the casserole has veg in already I still want more.
Bowls are for breakfast or soup.

Bowl. I want some casserole now, with French bread and some cheese. I'm basically going to have to insist that one of you brings that to me now.

If with mash/veg then on a plate, if with dumplings then in a bowl

From a wide, shallow bowl. Pasta, chilli, curry, shepherds or cottage pie and risotto are all also eaten from the same bowls. Meat and potato type meals are eaten (which we don't have that often) from plates and cereal, thin stews and soups are eaten from standard bowls.

Another Ikea sheep here.

We're 365 all the way.

Just eaten a beef casserole with dumplings from a bowl.

Just finished my chicken casserole in a bowl! It's a big bow from whittards when they had loads of shops selling that stuff. I prefer most diners in bowls! Mainly so I can eat one handed on my lap with a spoon / fork while browsing mumsnet on my phone!

On a plate. With veg and potatoes. Eaten with a knife and fork.

If it's in a bowl without vegetables and you're using a spoon, surely you're eating chunky soup?

Plate

Plates! We have green veg with stew and either mash or dumplings.

Unless I am eating leftovers next day for lunch in which case it goes in a pasta bowl so I don't feel greedy.

Plate. Because we generally have casserole with potatoes, and that would be awkward to eat with a spoon.

I would eat curry, chili etc from a plate - IF we are eating 'properly' at the table. If we're eating on the sofa then it's bowls on laptrays.

So neither way is 'wrong' to me.

I eat almost everything out of a pasta bowl.
I'm going to have to go food shopping again tomorrow to get the ingredients for casserole and dumplings now.

Oh goodness, dumplings, yum!
