 My dad used to do that for me.

In my defense, I had lost my 2 front teeth & couldn't eat it.

This is a pasta bowl. It isn't a typical bowl. It's a plate with curved edges. I think some of you may have used them before and just thought they were plates because they are more like plates than bowls IMHO.

I used to have the most beautiful pasta bowl set. A big serving bowl and 4 pasta bowls. I believe my mother stole it during one of my moves.

 Maybe.

But it kills my teeth and jaw now to eat it from the cob.

Those are pretty, and I have seen them, but I've never eaten spaghetti served on anything other than a regular plate (some of which did have a slight curve at the lip, but only like any basic Corelle plate has). I have been served soup in them occasionally though. It was explained that a wider surface area allowed for quicker and easier cooling of a hot soup.

I love Olive Garden, but then again there's not much food I don't love.

Actually, I hate olives haha. That's the only food I refuse to even smell.

MM is right. Our Olive Garden serves spaghetti on a platish. It's like a plate with a deep bottom. If you don't realize what it is you think it's just a really big plate. In reality it's a very shallow bowl.

Olive Garden's "plates" are usually just very shallow bowls.

Yes, these are the things I have eaten out of at Olive Garden.  They are not flat plates.  They are like deep plates.  Specifically for spaghetti.

 This is common in Italian restaurants--realizing that's a rather loose definition when talking about Olive Gaeden.

I have pasta bowls, curry bowls, soup bowls, ice cream bowls, and fruit bowls. I also have several sets of sauce cups and ramekins.

And, of course, cereal bowls.

None of them are the same - my cereal bowls are not soup bowls.

Did I tell you I have two kinds of cereal bowls? Regular and microwave for hot cereal. Oh, and I forgot - salad bowls.

Plus batter bowls, and several mixing bowls.


Yes, yes.....I may need an intervention.

I have various types of plain bowls in several sizes for everything from salad to soup to cereal, etc. I have 2 sets of mixing bowls and a few small bowls I use for sauces, prep work, etc.

I have various mixing/serving bowls.

Then there are the "big" bowls and the "little" bowls.

Doesn't matter what you put in them. Just how much you want.

Well I do have mixing bowls & bowls that you serve fruit salad or potato salad or whatever in. Other than my every day plates/bowls everything in my kitchen is a hand me down from my mom or grandmom. I have pots & pans older than me. I did buy a new soup pot a few years ago. And a really nice spatula from the Animal Rescue League.
