DEAR Sherxr

Thank you for comment.

First, before use, there is the good scent of fresh baked bread.
It will stimulate our appetite like the baked fresh bread.

It is simple taste only for saltiness.
I think that chocolate or the jam fit very much personally.

Are you all right by such an answer?

DEAR Curtis Hagedorn

Not disposable tableware.
Tableware to eat & to use.

Therefore I want you to use it widely if it is a concept in accord with the concept.

The size is limited, but can produce a sample.

There is the uneasiness in strength, but can produce the spoon now.

I can already imagine a full bowl of chocolate and me munching the bowl as I go along! Yummy!!!
Think of all the flavours the bowl will absorb after few uses! Mmmm..

Is it possible to order samples or sets of these for a “sustainable” dinner party or other use?

Thank you for comment.

DEAR Ben
Thank you for making a wonderful proposal.
All are interesting methods.

DEAR　Matic L
It did not know.

DEAR　Deborah
My English is “Yahoo English” haha
The method of mass production is not found yet.
It is handmade now.
200 to 300 will be possible on the 1st.
Prices are a little lower to buy bread in the bakery.
It is not fit for pouring out soup.

“Yahoo English”　gets tired…….ww

DEAR Jeremy
I think that it can probably do.

Rice-Design, thank you for taking the time to respond!

I agree these are a wonderful re-imagining of an old idea.

My question: could they be done with non-wheat flours, such as rice?

To Rice-Design: Your English is good. Only one or two minor grammar mistakes. But I have some questions.
Can these dishes be manufactured very often? (Hundreds, maybe thousands, of disposable dishes can be manufactured very quickly.)
How much will they cost? (Do you think they will become cheap enough for people to like?)
Can you use soup in the bowl, or is that too much liquid?

I’ve already seen something similar - it was used for shrimp soup of some kind (and it also had a lid on top).

That’s very clever!

I can think of a number of ways these could be reused, recycled, reprocessed or sustainably disposed of:

1. compost
2. wipe clean and bake at 300°F for a few minutes to sterilize and restore dryness, then reuse (only within a household, obviously)
3. soak, slice, and use as a kind of noodle
4. grind up in food processor and use as breadcrumbs
