Yeah, we recognize these are a bit cheezy, but we'll fess up that we still like them under the premise of using them to serve...yes, cheese and other treats from all over Europe. The plates represent England, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary. Our eyes and stomach say Italy looks like it would make a good olive plate, while Spain would be for charcuterie, France obviously for a fine selection of fromage and Hungary for delicious Hungarian sausages. Okay, getting too hungry typing this at the end of the day...
Each map plate is white ceramic, food safe, dishwasher safe, and obviously range in size according to their borders (6"-10" wide, 10"-15" long). The fun thing about these is after you've collected them all, they actually all fit together like one big puzzle, perfect for a casual European themed movie night or evening of RISK. $17.95 available at What On Earth Catalog.

Germany would b an assortment of miscellaneous meats, or what looks like meat, but it indistinguishable by taste.
England would definitely b chips, or crisps as we call em, and island can b dipping sauce because no1 has just potatoes on a plate.
I wonder what Finland would be... maybe reindeer meat and lingonberries?
Portugal isn´t part of Spain, and our gastronomy is quite different.
Ireland would fill up nicely with delicious cheeses or some good yoghurt for dipping ...
... and England would fill up well with a tasty cheddar - or - some sardines ...
mmmmmmmmmmmm slurp
(Zenpoo - I'm sorry but you have poo notions about European food or you have never been to the British Isles/Continental Europe)
spain does NOT include portugal.
a really cool idea, but the map is a little bit warped...
and its weird for me, that austria (german speaking) is one plate with czech republich, slovakia and hungary (a bit like in the k-und-k-time) but I'm sure thats `cause i am from austria
and right spain don't includes portugal
I'm just wondering where the rest of Europe is. :)
In Spain we shouldn't have Portugal or Andorra with us... but anyway, I wouldn't mind being included in such nice countries... ah, Port wine... and the most beautiful landscapes in the Andorra mountains...
how would you stack these plates afterward? especially italy?!
J'ADORE
I'd like them better without the words, etc. Plain white would be more interesting, and less like tourist art.
Is that plate actually just England (bye-bye Scotland and Wales) or is it just called England (to annoy the Scottish and the Welsh)?! And where did Switzerland go, and...
Nice idea but so poorly executed. I'd just be noticing all the mistakes rather than the beauty of the plates.
@Zhenpoo:
Our chips are your french fries (but our chips are fatter). And I'd put stilton on that plate personally!
Dude, where is Scandinavia?
Scotland, Wales, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland.. all should be there (not mentioning Nordics and Slovenia, Croatia etc, because they are not even formed by the plates)
so this is how undereducated people imagine Europe?...
