Just for that, I'm putting soup into a bowl like this:

And so we're on the same page, yes, I know a circular cross-section would hold more soup without requiring more surface area and therefore material. I'm doing it anyway.

Don't even get me started on tesselation, space-filling and logistics, because I will make a bowl that constitutes an entire FTL shipment on It's own, but somehow also only holds a single serving of soup.

Before you start whining about that, you should know, that while I don't prefer it, I am fully willing to resort to non-euclidean geometries, too, so help me God.

You could have just left me to my little square soup bowl, but here we are. Perhaps peace was never an option.

I prefer Klein bottles for my soup

I'm laughing imagining someone trying to eat hot soup from one.

I love when my bowl doubles as a shuriken.

I can see the logic. It's made in a pot, eaten in a bowl, fairly liquid and remains liquid while stored.

And lasagna is a square/rectangular food.

But what about stew? My father makes a beef stew in the oven using a square casserole. The leftover is refrigerated in the same square casserole and the whole thing congeals into a square. So to me stew can be square.

If you're making lasagne from scratch, it can definitely be round. It's pretty much just a savory pasta cake.

What shape plates do you use for lazayn (that's cool for lasagne)??

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trapezoid. It leaves spaces on either side of the square lasagne for wasabi and maple syrup.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Don't forget the ramekins of ketchup and barbeque sauce for dipping!

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

The plate will be round but the lasagna stays square.

It's a utensils thing. Round spoon? Round dish.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's because you have to use a spoon, I think.

All spoons are food shovels

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Spoons are tiny bowels with handles.

Shovels are thin dirt axes.

I thought an ax was just a deformed torus.

So your saying soup is bouba and not kiki?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Of course, one can't just put a bouba liquid in a kiki container!

I hate that this makes so much fucking sense

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Round bowl:

I prefer my soup as a CUBE

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Soup is not round. 

Oat meal is round, but soup can be any shape. You could even have square soup or unicorn shaped soup. 

Maybe I should make a unicorn bowl.

Soup is liquid therefore it fills whatever vessel you force it to! laughs maniacally

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Be soup my friend.
