Or maybe just pick bowl up and tip it...? |

There's plenty of ways that this could work
in the future. A metal-ceramic material
designed to exhibit molecular
characteristics normally associated with
muscles, for example, with embedded
ambient computing power and transducers
allowing it to sense load distribution/
weight and user situation, mood and
intent. Pretty simple, really. |

[Elk] Can you not ask the nurse to puree
everything for you? |

Some sort of material with abnormally high thermal expansion could work. Heat up the bowl in the microwave, then as it cools with time, it shrinks. Easier to store too.
It wouldn't work for cereal or ice cream though... |

Elusive peas can be cunningly trapped by cornering them between a knife and a fork. The knife can then be employed to herd the peas onto the fork for shovelling into the mouth, or the terrified, trapped peas could simply be stabbed by the sharpened prong-tips on the fork to force them screaming into your mouth. Mind your tongue on the points. |

Just put a funnel shape on one side of the plate and the peas will be unable to escape its gravity. |

How about a thin rubber skin stretched around 1/2 of a Hoberman sphere? The skin would need to be anchored to the vertices on the inside of the bowl, so that it would conform to the bowl's concavity. I'm not sure if a 1/2 Hoberman sphere would be stable, or if it would just collapse. |

P.S.:
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life.
It makes my peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on my knife. |

Aw, come on, [the extreme baker], give peas a chance. |

I find it rather annoying when people are unwilling to simply use their fingers to help capture the last few peas or whatever. Mashed potatoes, maybe, but anything that isn't sticky or creamy should be picked up with a spoon against the fingers. Unless you live in Buckingham Palace. |
