why the fuck are plates even the standard? i’ve been using lunch boxes to eat my food in and it works much better for everything.
Your access is limited to the upper layer. Depending on the food you might want to reach the bottom too or mix it easier.
no i’m not talking about eating out of a tall glass, i mean why don’t plates have like a 2cm rim on them? i have absolutely no problem reaching things in my lunch boxes.
That works well. I used to put my salad into these flat bowls with a 5cm rim.
The forbidden blate
i’ve got some. they’re great unless you’re eating cereal and want to drink the milk

this stumped me for like a minute because in sweden “blatte” is a depressingly common slur for brown people

you mean 🅱️late

hehe lol

How about “forbidden Plowl” instead

Protip: go find yourself some plates with a more classic design. E.g. I have Wedgwood Windsor plates. See that middle bowl area? it’s about 1.5cm deep. See that rim? It catches anything that manages to escape the bowl area. Good plates are a solved problem, they just don’t look like modern minimalist plates. Ever since I got these I don’t think I’ve ever managed to lose anything over the edge of a plate.
now that’s what i’m fucking talking about, that’s actually intentionally designed for what it’s used for. Holding the bulk of the food in the middle and then a wide rim to catch spillage and hold e.g. a big schnitzel.
The bowls from the same line are great too. Modern bowls have sides that aren’t steep enough so they spill too easily.
