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.

Nice marketing, but c’mon, we’ve all seen kids eat. In reality, that construction zone would look like cleanup after a major earthquake. I bet none of those mixed vegetables would even be touching the plate since they would be busy flying toward the walls, the floor, your head, anyplace but the kid’s mouth. That’s what you get when you encourage kids to play with their food. But I’m sure this is better than giving them one of these. Check out the additional Chew Chew Train after the break.
Every pizza joint tells you the diameter of their pizza. But what you really want to know is the circumference. With this Pizza Pi Plate you can have somewhere to eat your slice and figure out the circumference with 88 decimal places of precision. Something to keep your mind occupied while devouring half the pizza by yourself. The microwave safe stoneware plate will also help to keep that crust crispy when reheating.

Eating old style is easy when your plates are pictures of retro diner signs. The more you eat the more you see, so beside being hungry you have one more reason to polish off every bit of that meal. Anything that brings back memories of a simpler time makes for a more relaxing experience.

This would be a super cool baking dish even if that bird in the middle was totally non-functional. But, he actually serves a purpose. As you are cooking he lets the steam escape so that the crust and filling bake evenly. That is a much better description of this pie plate than the appearance that it is a bird sinking in quicksand. Ok, so maybe that is just me.

There are products made for people with all sorts of individual quirks. And if you happen to be a fishing nut who is also a bit anal about the various foods touching on the plate then this will satisfy both needs. I don’t understand that some people don’t get that corn should not mix with mashed potatoes.

Using small versions of heavy equipment as utensils is all well and good, but the whole experience is a lot more fun if you have a plate specially made for them. Use the bulldozer to push some peas up the ramp and onto the spoon front end loader or maybe use the forklift to pick up some pieces of meat. Make diesel engine noises as you use the utensils if you must.

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.
