 This dish reminds me of the fancy china plates that my family has in a cabinet in our dining room. A lot of people use them for special occasions, but we never really use them, so they are mostly for decoration. It is odd to me that something that expensive is rarely used in our house. To some people, presentation is very important, so I guess that is why my parents bought those plates.
