Etymology
The word "porringer" is derived from the Middle English word "potager," which in turn comes from the Old French word "potager," meaning "pot for cooking."
Meaning
A porringer is a small, deep bowl with a handle, used for serving food, especially porridge or soup.
Origin
The porringer originated in the Middle Ages, when it was a common utensil for eating porridge and other liquid foods. Porringers were typically made of earthenware or wood, and were often decorated with simple patterns. Over time, porringers became more elaborate, and were often made of silver or pewter.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, porringers were a common sight in kitchens and dining rooms. They were often used for serving porridge, soup, or other liquid foods. Porringers also became popular as a way to feed babies and young children.
Today, porringers are still used in some cultures, but they are less common than they once were. They are sometimes used as a serving bowl for porridge or other liquid foods, or as a feeding bowl for babies and young children.
