I still thimk corn on the cob needs definite improvments. I know they have corn on the cob holders but I still dislike eating them that way. I don’t eat many summertime “finger foods” that often because I feel so barbaic.
Would love the aspect/functionality of compartmentalized plates (to keep gravy, pickles, juices, water, etc away from other items), however, when it comes to storing it in the cabinet, I would prefer if the plates still stack well.
Also a plate/serving plate or dinner plate that has a colander type area so juicy items drip through into a holding area (lettuce wraps are yummy, but the juices flow EVERYWHERE), maybe even a larger hole in the colander area so that if you want to dip your item back into the juices you can easily do so?
Love the look of the Udon Noodle Bowl!
Fajita's!!! ……..Chicken (or steak), bell peppers, and onions are wet, tortillas need to stay dry, and sour cream and shredded cheese need to be separate too!
A soup spoon to eat french onion soup with. We all hate when we take a big spoonful of a delicious crock of steamy french onion, only to pull the entire layer of gooie cheese off with that first spoonful; leaving none for the rest of the soup. How about some sort of cutting device attached to the bottom of a soup spoon that would allow you to take that first helping and cut the cheese off, to leave some for the rest of dish?
I believe a lobster dinner should have a special design of tableware to accompany the elegance of the sea creature. The everyday (lobster bib) is too cliche. An elegant cream with chaimpagne colored pinstripes tablecloth with small circular candelabra as a center piece. A beautiful white satin placemat with a larger red cloth with white satin lining placemat under it. Match this with a diamond cut crystal goblet and a small diamond cut crystal dip/rinse bowl for fingers. I think a small red lobster clutch band for a simple cream colored napkin would compliment nicely. And to top it off, a white and red pinstriped bib lined with little baby lobsters along the bottom would complete the picture.
What food do you think needs specially-designed tableware?
A glass that has a lip on it that holds the ice in so when you drink it doesn't come out or hurt your teeth.
This is a tough one. I would have to say anything that requires a build your own dish. We have build your own hamburger night and all the serving pieces are mismatched. I would like a nice set of pottery that comes in many different sizes.
Icecream bowls or glasses created to keep it cold.
Tacos have always been a big problem…need something to keep them together.
Wraps need special dishes. Large enough to hold everything, with separate compartments for all the fixings.
Indian food! Why hasn't someone copied the metal tray and bowls in something that can be microwaved? While we're at it, how about covers for all those little bowls so they can be stored in the fridge or freezer?
How about a bowl to store fruit and cereal to make breakfast quicker in the morning
Soup
noodles of any kind
Tacos
Pasta
Jicama needs fancy dishes cause nobody knows what it is, at least around here they don’t…so that would make it even more exciting while everyone tries to figure out if it’s a potatoe or an apple…..
A plate for french fries and ketchup so that the ketchup doesn't touch the french fries!
Anything that's messy to eat.
Spaghetti. The spoon's ok but doesn't prevent the inevitable red sauce splatter.
a burrito, something that can hold the shell while you're assembling it, then fold it up nicely before eating it.
Cereal!!!! I love everything about cereal its my favorite part of the day, why not make it even more exciting to eat!
Just way to say HG TV. Rocks I’m addicted to all ur shows my teenagers continue to threaten setting parental controls on. Me LOL keep up the great work
I say all dinnerware needs to be redesigned… especially for those of us that like to eat everything seperately and not touching. I hate it when my food mixes on the plate.
calamari….when I was in south africa they served our calamari dinner in a beautiful shell shaped bowl….very pleasing to the eye when you are eating outside overlooking the ocean…..
Shrimp Cocktail look so much better when its served in a bowl designed for it. I actually ran across a two piece glass set that was just for the shrimp cocktail, at a thrift store. It took me a while to figure out what it was for, thank goodness my mom is so smart. You would put crushed ice in the bottom dish and place the smaller dish on top of it with the shrimp. Each dish was for an individual serving – so for a dinner with friends, it looks wonderful.
I own those glasses – they were my grandmother's & she LOVED shrimp cocktail! And they do look very impressive for a dinner party.
Apple Dumplings. Soup – In our house although we have many bowls, there is a set that is just perfect for soup.
I'd love to see more authentic options for Asian, Mediterreanean, and Mexican food tableware…Last month I went with my sister to little Tokyo to try to find her tableware and we were at the store for hours because they didn't have everything and they were out of many necessary items from the collection she liked…it had to be imported from Japan, which could take months
I think we need to make bigger kiddie plates for the adults. I can't tell you how many time I will be at a restaurant and I'm cutting my food and my plate skids, or if I am trying to pick something up with a fork, how many times the plate will tilt towards me. I think we need those skid proof plates that we bought our kids super sized for us adults!
I think regular dinner plates should be made special b/c a lot of meals include 2 or 3 items on them. I don't think they should look like cafeteria trays but maybe a little depression between sections so that liquid from veggies doesn't roll over to the chicken type thing. BTW love the noodle bowl!
Escargot and anything that uses chopsticks.
Definitely hard shell tacos.
soup. it takes a special bowl to get the right down-home, wholesoe, cozy feeling of soup, you know?
Any food that contains equal amounts of liquid to solid needs a special piece of tableware; soup, stew, cereal and milk, etc… My food imagination is not large.
Soup and sandwich combo – cup for soup attached to plate with a resting place for your spoon.
TACOS!!! For assembling and eating. Once you set it down, everything spills out.
That bowl is so cute! I agree with the person that said taco holders… that would be perfect!
Lovely design!
I would have to say zaru soba. I usually have to make it by cooking the noodles, and then keeping them cool in a bowl of ice water to eat them, but then they get soggy from being in the water to be kept cool. Ideally it would come with something adjoining to hold the tsuyu broth for dipping.
noodies this a cool cup.
