Placemats, Runners, Towels and Aprons
I'm sure it's possible to cook and eat meals without the use of these fashionable and functional kitchen accoutrements. Kinda like how it's possible for a farm animal to eat without silverware. You just dump the slop in a big ol' trough and let 'em go to town. You wanna live like that, THAT'S YOUR PREROGATIVE.
