    Just for that, I’m putting soup into a bowl like this:

    And so we’re on the same page, yes, I know a circular cross-section would hold more soup without requiring more surface area and therefore material. I’m doing it anyway.

    Don’t even get me started on tesselation, space-filling and logistics, because I will make a bowl that constitutes an entire FTL shipment on It’s own, but somehow also only holds a single serving of soup.

    Before you start whining about that, you should know, that while I don’t prefer it, I am fully willing to resort to non-euclidean geometries, too, so help me God.

    You could have just left me to my little square soup bowl, but here we are. Perhaps peace was never an option.

    I can see the logic. It’s made in a pot, eaten in a bowl, fairly liquid and remains liquid while stored.

    And lasagna is a square/rectangular food.

    But what about stew? My father makes a beef stew in the oven using a square casserole. The leftover is refrigerated in the same square casserole and the whole thing congeals into a square. So to me stew can be square.

    Soup is not round.

    Oat meal is round, but soup can be any shape. You could even have square soup or unicorn shaped soup.

    Maybe I should make a unicorn bowl.
