That is quite obvious, since if they thought it was an actual meal they would
presumably set plates. When I was staying with a French family as an exchange
student, the only piece of crockery on the table was what I, being young and
foolish, thought was a cereal bowl, but which was actually the cup for
the »café au lait« (for dunking the croissant).
