Sitting down to eat dinner can also become “Anatomical Study Time With 19th Century Dude” thanks to Lisa Turner’s 10″ Bone China “Anatomica” plate. Of course, for $74, you could buy a copy of Gray’s Anatomy and you wouldn’t have to deal with a set of eyes staring at you from your plate (unless you have one of these). It’s your call.

The Holidays bring families together and remind them why they only see each other once a year. For relatives who are particularly annoying, there’s these “Hidden Meaning Plates”.

If you can’t accept the fact that your dog is “a dog”, and instead view him as a furry little person who eats his own puke and dumps on the floor, then you’ll need some special table accessories so your K9 companion can share the dinner table with you. How about a doggie dinner plate and wine glass designed with special features to allow easy tongue and snout access? While you’re at it, you can pick up the white collar dog bib they offer as well. Bon Appetit!

With the “Smile!” dinner plate, you’ll have the advantage of a built in mirror at the bottom of your plate to check your teeth for naughty food bits that hung on through the storm. And since the mirror is at the bottom, that means the mound of food in your teeth will only go unnoticed through all of the meal and most of the important conversation. In that case, you may want to call up the old standby that got you through so many vegetable dinners when you were a kid… pushing your food around the plate.
