mrs.petethecat 62 Posted July 12, 2013 Great idea! I found some sample/appetizer dishes on Amazon and they look fun. They are orginally used for tastings as cooking events. http://www.amazon.co...ppetizer plates Oh! How cute! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted July 12, 2013 "congress with a kid"????????????? Well, these bowls are no good for that but if you want something that "comes with a lid and is good for travel"..... I have the Gladware 1/2 cup plastic containers. They have lids and are microwavable. I think it was an 8 pack for $2.50 at Walmart.< /p> Even though they may say microwaveable, I wouldn't make a habit of microwaving food in plastic. The plastic molecules infiltrate your food and are not good for your health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted July 12, 2013 Those are cute! I use little Farberware bowls from my pattern (Pistoulet) that are just right, or sometimes a wide-mouthed mug with a handle. I use teacup plates and the smallest spoons and forks in my set (I never used to use the salad forks in my set and now use them all of the time). My mom and I were at Anthropologie and I saw teeny tiny salt cellars with a teeny tiny spoon and joked that I should get one to eat out of! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are appetizer size and they have forks, spoons, and knives that are all matching and have really cute handles. They are heavy as well! I have to find joy in the cute things while I'm eating! LOL! 1 TES reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted July 12, 2013 I got my plastic bowls with lids at the dollar tree. I believe there were 3 or 4 for a $1. And I bought matching plastic cups, and baby spoons that came in a small plastic case about the size of a glasses case. It was a great way to take them with me, and keep them clean. 1 TES reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted July 12, 2013 I have an old set of restaurant ware. That is heavy restaurant china from the early to mid 20th century. These sets came with what were called fruit bowls. They hold about 4 oz. of liquid are are perfect for new sleevers. Hit Ebay and do a search on "Restaurant ware fruit bowls." There are some really cheap ones in every color you can imagine. Be careful because if you are like me you will think: The Soup cups for this pattern are cute ... so are the pie plates ... THEN: I like this pattern too. I would rather not disclose how many sets of dishes I have including serving pieces. 3 newat52, TES and neneh_vsg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather not disclose how many sets of dishes I have including serving pieces. I can relate! It's funny, I've always had this weird obsession with ramekins and have a bunch of different sets of them but only used them occasionally. Now they are the perfect vessel for my VSG-friendly meals, and I have plenty to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
