Melamine? Enamel? the best china? (1 Viewer)

[jamieBG]

I'm just looking at kitting out the kitchen with some plates and bowls etc, and wondered what peoples opinions were of the various options?

I have fond memories of camping in my parents' trailer tent as a kid, of those white enamel plates with the blue rims, with matching mugs and bowls (which seem still available from amazon).

What do you use?

Red melamine plates bought around 1975 s/h when Townsend Thoreson closed their hire side. China cups, wine glass's are glass except for two plastic ones advertised as unbreakable at the NEC last year and so far are.

I have 4 plates, small plates & bowls in Arcopal, bought them in France years ago & used them in the caravan and now in the MH - no chips, travel well if stored properly. :thumb:

proper plates as most have posted are the way to go, however it is prudent to keep a little stock of melamine ones to use when having a communial meal. ie BBQ
