Feeling hungry? In Minecraft, there is a wide variety of food options to satisfy your appetite. If you’re a meat lover, you can enjoy steaks, chicken, and fish. On the other hand, if you prefer plant-based foods, consider trying carrots, stew, or bread. Most of these items can be eaten by hand, but what about stew? I’ve never tasted it, but I’ve heard it’s quite unpleasant. I think I’ll give it a shot!
Yikes, that was really unappetizing. Now I’m covered in stew, and to make matters worse, I’m still hungry because most of my food dripped off my fingers. Plus, I burned my hands—the meat was way too hot. To prevent such mishaps for players, a very handy item has been introduced—a bowl. If only I hadn’t been so stubborn and had used it, I could have avoided all this mess.
Bowls were introduced in Minecraft Bedrock back in January 2010. Initially, they could only be used to craft mushroom stew, but with the release of version 1.0.0, a fun feature was added: by holding a bowl under mushrooms and right-clicking, players could “milk” them, resulting in mushroom soup. Later on, it became possible to prepare beetroot and cooked rabbit in bowls as well. If you feel that utensils are unnecessary and prefer to eat with your hands, you can use the bowl as fuel for your furnace.
Making a bowl is quite easy. You just need to arrange three boards of any type in a crafting grid shaped like a bowl, and you’ll receive four bowls, which should be sufficient even for a large amount of stew. Additionally, you might try to catch one while fishing. And, as unfortunate as it may sound, sometimes a lightning-struck turtle can turn into a bowl.
In the real world, bowls are not commonly made from wood. The primary materials used include ceramics, plastic, and metal. Humanity has been crafting them for thousands of years, leading to a wide variety of designs, most of which are quite practical for everyday use. The oldest known bowl was found during archaeological excavations and dates back approximately 18,000 years, around the end of the last Ice Age. Perhaps they enjoyed ice cream from it?
I suspect that most individuals reading this article reside in civilized cities and regions, utilizing utensils during meals. However, this is not a universal practice. In some cultures across different countries, it is common to place one large bowl on the table for everyone to share from. Yet, even in these situations, there are certain etiquette rules that should be observed. For instance, in Zimbabwe, it is customary to eat only with the right hand, while in China, using your own chopsticks when eating from a communal dish is frowned upon.
