plates: square or round?

[nageov3t]

I'm not really a fan of the square plate... but as I'm looking for new dishes, it seems like all the designs I really like are only on square plates 🙁

round for life

I'm in the same boat.

Is there a technical name for the plates that have a lower level so stuff doesn't spill out?

We have square now but I couldn't care less so long as they hold an appropriate amount of food.

i think you have to be 1% to get square plates

Square is cool, but you cant just slop spaghetti on it.

Oval or square doesn't make a difference to me. I care only about 1.) will it fit in the spot in the cabinet I have designated for plates. 2.) will it hold a lot of food 3.) will it burn my hands if I pick up the plate to bring it over by the TV

So, my preferred shape is Stoneware plates that are an inch or two deep ... like big shallow bowls ... as they tend to not burn hands, and they tend to hold lots of food.

I like square, as long as there's a deep enough reservoir to scoop things up.

We have some rounded square plates that are the bomb.

Square plates are stupid.

 

[Jaepheth]

Square or other polygonal plates won't roll around in the dishwasher as easily as round ones.

Square plates are stupid.

Yes they are.

I prefer heptagonal plates.

 

[SithSolo1]

I own round but I like both.

I prefer a deeper dish, such as a soup bowl, for pastas or anything else with a sauce.

 

[momeNt]

What about Fiestaware? Always round and always in style.

 

[irishScott]

Whatever holds the food.

do you like these?

 

[JimKiler]

I voted square because you can keep the different foods seperated better than a round plate.

 

[MotionMan]

Round for every day.
Square for fancy.

Poll fail.

Damn left handed, red headed, step children! The wine glass is on the wrong side. The napkin is on the wrong side. The fork is on the wrong side. AND, square plates are ugly. Did I mention your mother dresses you funny? :biggrin:

CIRCLE PLATES ONLY!
