- Ecuelle - An ecuelle is the French term for a shallow, bowl-shaped dish used for serving soup or stew. The term is also sometimes used more broadly to refer to any small, round dish used for serving food. In the Middle Ages, ecuelles were often made of pewter or other metal and were an essential part of tableware. They were used to serve a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, sauces, and porridge, and could also be used as drinking vessels. Today, ecuelles are still used in traditional French cooking and are often made of porcelain or silver.
