This bread bowl is fit for those who don’t have time to wash up. It’s one of the strangest culinary inventions in years.
A Birmingham food firm has started making bowls and plates out of dough. The idea is that diners enjoy a soup, chilli or curry, then eat the bowl too.
David Williams, the managing director of Butt Foods, which has developed the idea, admits: “Our banks, our investors all thought we were crackers. But we’ve now proved them wrong.”
The company already supplies a chain of pubs with prawn cocktail-filled bread bowls and says that later this year a leading supermarket will stock its microwavable naan bowl filled with chicken tikka masala.
