I've got some things that I use for salad and for pasta. Big like a

a plate with sides, but you'd call it a bowl I suppose.
Still commercially available? If so, from where?

If I hadda wood lathe, I'd maybe make my own, but ...

Try medical supply stores. Search for "inner lip plate".

Lordy. Go through the housewares aisle at the local megalo-mart, and
find the round Pyrex pie pans. I think they will fit the bill for what
OP wants. 9-11 inches in diameter, just like a dinner plate, but with a
good lip around the edges to prevent carpet oopsies. That is what I use
for the Big Salads they say I have to eat instead of a real dinner, at
least 2-3 times a week. The Pyrex is a lot easier to wash than
chef-salad-size salad bowls, which are almost always plastic and get
scratched up, and aren't diswasher-safe. (Not that that stops me...)

Having said all that- OP needs a TV in the kitchen, and some new kitchen
chairs. I used to eat hunched over at the coffee table too, until my
back started acting middle-aged. (That, and my eyes got so I couldn't
read the newspaper sitting under the dinner plate on the coffee table
any more, either, but I digress....)
