Evolution of Dishes

When eating out the other day I happened to think of the dishes we used to always see in the cafes.

Of course, I am from the middle of nowhere so my experiences were limited, but do you remember the coffee cups and saucers, not mugs like today? Of course, the plates, platters and soup bowls matched the cups.

I remember white dishes with green strips around the top edge of cups and bowls and around the outer edge of the plates. There were also those beige colored dishes. You still get to see them in a second hand or antique shop.

I have to admit that I couldn’t tell you much about the dishes I get my food served on anymore, but I am pretty sure each eatery may have their own individual choice.

Most of us get to eat out soooo much more now than we did in the past. That is probably why we took in all of those details like the color of dishes. I must admit that eating out is still nice and I will readily admit I could have never been a waitress. That balancing all of those dishes has to be a talent and art.
