The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
The Flying Saucer Plate comes in peace. Just a regular bowl when placed upright, when turned over it looks like a vintage UFO.
Even the most finicky eaters will love playing spaceman. Just make sure the bowl is empty before it’s turned over, or expect an invasion from the planet Mess.
We’ve seen skillets and cutting boards in the shape of every US State. Now, you can show your patriotism at the table with The Fifty United Plates. Brought to us by ceramic artists Ryan and Kaitlyn Lawless of Corbé company, the project is currently in a Kickstarter phase that has already reached their target.
So expect to see the state plates available soon. You can start making Oregon-shaped pies and California casseroles. Get Rhode Island if you need to hold a few grains of rice or a small blueberry.

Finally, you can play with your food and make faces at the table — without feeling the wrath of Mom. The Food Face Dinner Plate is a blank canvas for the aspiring food artist with questionable table manners. Spaghetti goatee? A mashed potato mullet? The only limit to your creativity, is whatever’s for dinner.
Check it out over at the Foodiggity Shop.
Even dishware is getting into the Christmas spirit. Officially-titled the Taste Tree, the 30-ft tall structure was created by Belgian design firm Mooz using 5,000 donated plates and cups. Local residents near Hasselt’s main square in Belgium were encouraged to donate unused tableware as a community-building project.
