>Notice more and more foods sold as 'bowls'
>Nacho salad 'bowls'
>Pizza 'bowls'
>Taco ramen sushi 'bowls'
>Nashville fried chicken and california-roll bowls
>Thai green noodle curry 'bowls'
When does this trend of marketing everything as a 'bowl' end.
The second you come up with a better term for it
>Add beans, rice, extra lettuce, etc
>Market it as a bowl
It makes you feel okay with paying more for less substance and more filler
>>Add beans, rice, extra lettuce, etc
it as a bowl
Anon, you can literally survive on beans and rice. How's that a filler
Nutritionally it’s fine. He means filler as in it provides higher margins.
>steak bowl
>2oz of steak
>a shit ton of beans
>a shit ton of rice
>that’ll be $15 + tax + tip
It’s so they can make it sound cool and trendy when they’re selling you a majority of dirt cheap shelf stable ingredients rather than the steak that the dish is labeled with
why does this bother you?
It doesn't bother me. I just keep seeing everything marketed as a 'bowl'.
Is this a quirk from Japan?
my favourite one is the 'nourish bowl.' it doesn't mean anything.
i think it's just a health food trend.
>i think it's just a health food trend.
Half this but it's not really healthier. I think it started as "healthier" option for burritos/texmex food where they just dump meat, salsas and veg on a 1kg bed of rice and beans that normie women have been convinced do not contain carbohydrates unlike that dastardly wheat tortilla wrap. Where I live, college students only order stuff that comes in "bowls" like this because they eat half of it when ordered and save the other half for their lunch the next day.
Kfc started it like 15 years ago
KFC started it, KFC shall end it with a new beginning...
I worked there when they introduced the 5 dollar fill up. The famous bowl was some good sloppa. That was the last time you could have kfc for a decent price. Now its way more affordable to get fried chicken at the publix deli. I bet that shit you posted costs like 10 bucks.
It's a way to skimp out on plating/prep while appealing to yuppie retards who think it's chic.
>cook ingredients
>throw them all in a bowl
>that'll be 15 dollars please
ask for them to put it on a plate. promlem solved
When me and the rest of the gluten-free community stop demanding them and voting with our dollars.
weed bowl
suck ma bowls
It’s because of the chigyu
We've been eating out of bowls for hundreds of years. Just ignore the dump name and eat your slop
It's a way of taking any dish or cuisine that's often a variety of unintegrated ingredients, the kind of thing that would normally be served on a board or platter or large plate for many people, and serving it in a form that an individual person would find acceptable as an entree.
>here are your beans, rice, shredded or ground meat, vegetable medley, and sauce/dip sir
>wtf this is just a bunch of different scoops of shit on a plate
>sorry sir here's the same thing in a bowl so it feels slightly more cohesive, like a salad
bowls are convenient af everything should be bowled
Bowls are superior to plates.
>soup
>easy to take on the go
>don't spill shit
>hold more food
Plates are a thing of the past boomer. Nobody eats anything on a plate anymore except for the rare steak but in this economy who can afford anything but bug meat?
>i showed you my bowl please respond
