Oh, I realise they're popular in other places-- and I've read several
feast menus that featured them. They're just not so widespread as to
be the basis of an "eternal question" :-)

I can't say that I find the idea very appealing, myself. I don't mind a
little carefully moistened bread, but not saturated or soggy. And I
like to eat my bread with my other food-- not after I've finished it.
So far as Med/Red cooking goes, a few people do seem very keen to
establish the plausibility of bread bowls, but I haven't seen any real
evidence. I agree that they're kind of silly.
