Yes, Bowls. They are such beautiful handy works of craft and yet so under-recognised and under-appreciated. The use of bowls in our society is limited to consuming soup, breakfast, or fast food like pop corn, chips or dips. Except for our wise Easterners, who use bowls for regular meals.
Similarly, I want to advocate the use of bowls for regular meals. And here are my reasons for that:
1. Non-messy
2. Comfortable
3. Privacy (just a teeny bit)
4. High on Coolness quotient
Eating in a bowl is the least messy way to eat. Let's take my example. I have Indian food everyday, what with me being Indian and all. So I usually have curry and rice/chapati, sabzi (vegetable) and rice/chapati, pulao etc. Eating these in a relatively flat plate or dish is difficult/impossible with a spoon and fork. Forget the chapati, eating rice is quite the task. Especially when you are down to the last few morsels. No amount of finesse with the fork and spoon will allow you to elegantly clean the rice off your plate. There will always be the elusive grains of rice that refuse to cradle in the curve of your spoon.
Now imagine eating in a bowl - you don have to worry about food falling off; scooping up the last few morsels is a breeze; offers a tad bit of privacy when eating (ppl at a slight distance can only guess wot u're eating); since everyone else eats in a plate, you become cool by being the one who doesn't.
I have started eating in a bowl already and am on the path of converting my close friends and family to adopt this awesome trendition. (Yes, I just coined the word. Trendition (n) - a new long-term practice as opposed to an old tradition.)
