The first bowls were called "trenchers" which were basically bread bowls.
bread bowls really don't qualify as a bowl, iyam
not trying to be a dick but just because it holds something doesn't make it a bowl.
bucket, box, bowl. they all hold stuff, but they're not all bowls.
A bowl holds food.....which is exactly what a bread bowl does.
you can't put food in a box?
i can't put non-foodstuffs into a bowl?
i have a bowl at my desk at work, in it there is some loose change, a couple of goodcents footlong cards, a christmas card from a few years ago, assorted miscellany. no food though, i wonder, is my bowl a bag?
