Exploring Cultural Differences in Dinner and Quarter Plate Use and Design

Choosing the right type of modern dinnerware sets or tableware in general varies across cultures. In India, we often see the use of thali with ketosis. It is said that the use of these came about to avoid the mixing of flavours when eating a variety of curries at the same time.

In China’s culinary culture, food is laid out on big plates that are shared by large groups of people. Bowls for soup (indispensable in Chinese cooking) and small dishes for refreshments are generally used as part of any formal dining setting.

Italians order food separately based on personal preferences.  The meals served will be in the order of Appetitive (appetizer), Primo (dishes that include pasta/risotto), Secondo (The main course), and lastly Dolce (dessert). The use of dinner and quarter plates varies with the meal served, depending on the size and portion.

It is also fascinating to observe that the shapes of crockery vary and the way they are placed. For example, in the West, they generally favour round bowls, whereas, in Japan, four-cornered or eight-cornered bowls are used. Also, by the choice of design, it’s observed that in Western culture, they prefer simple shapes and colours, while Asian culture sees more colours and shape variations along with great designs.
