I'd prefer the term "bowl". And yes. There are a number of ways of
making a bread bowl. Some people stretch dough over a bowl form,
let the dough rise, bake the dough, and then peel out the form. Other's
make a small boule and then cut out the center. The second approach
is the one I prefer.

Also, a receptacle isn't usually thought of as a food serving device.

True, and loafs are not usually referred to as receptacles.

Now there is a kind of a recepticle you might plug your
electric razor into. Or a hot plate used to heat your chowder.

These alleged "dumbest questions" are also the ones that always stump
the experts. That's why the experts always consider them to be dumb.

A "dumb question" is by definition one that stumps the experts.

BTW, your newsreader is brainfarting little "=20" emissions at the end
of the lines of your posts. You might want to have a talk with it,
because it is being rude to others.
