Somehow I've made it on the mailing list for Crate & Barrel. As far as I know, I've purchased one thing there, and it was a gift for someone else. Regardless, I like to flip through it before tossing it into the recycling container.
But today something caught my eye. Perhaps it's my tried and traditional self coming out, perhaps it's my southern country backwoods mindset, but I have never, ever seen anything like this nor could ever imagine myself using it.

The picture in the magazine shows it with snow peas, though the description says it's for party foods, like olives or crackers. I just find it odd, and could never, ever imagine me using something like this. I can see me being at a modern person's house who has a dish like this and managing to mishandle the serving utensil in something shaped like this and making a mess on the tablecloth.
So I'm curious. Would you use a narrow dish that's longer than a ruler but only 2.5" wide? What would you put in it? I guess I'm just country round or plain old square.
