Is that... real? What the fuck is it supposed to be? It looks like an Italian vomited on a wooden frisbee.
I have absolutely no idea how somebody came up with the idea of stuffing bread full of pasta. Seems like a carbohydrate overload.
EDIT: They're supposed to look all nummy and tasty as advertised: http://www.dominos.com/home/index.jsp
I guess they neglected to consider that the delivery boy would fuck up their little soup bowl on the way.

Bread bowls are a popular way of serving soup in some areas.
People used to use them a lot. They were called 'trenchers'. That's why 'trencherman' means someone who likes to eat a lot.
The problem with eating a pasta bowl from Domino's is mostly that you're eating a pasta bowl from fucking Domino's.
My wife goes nuts for french onion soup in a bread bowl.
But Dominoes is fucking poison.
Pasta =/= soup.
That Dominoes site crashes my browser, but I can imagine what it's supposed to look like.
Domino's from a breadbowl is a pasta toilet.
A form of egg...an incredibly odd form of egg anyway
From:
The Philippines
What the hell is it?
Behold, for our journey of horror reaches its destination. Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.
They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand. You can spot the vendors because of their glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children screaming.
Wait, it gets worse ...
... Because you're never going to look at an egg the same way. Tell yourself that every time you crack open an egg from now on you won't be half expecting a leathery wad of bird to come flopping out into the skillet.
Yes, balut is upsetting on about a half-dozen levels. Sure, all meat eaters know on some level that the delicious chop on your plate used to belong to something cute and fluffy, which gambolled in the sun during the brief spring of its life. Most of the time, it' perfectly possible not to give a shit. But, when you're biting into something that hasn't even had a chance to see its mother' face ... well, it' different.

Anyway, I think the dominos menu is far worse than anything on that list. At least everything on it is somewhat healthy.
Healthy..perhaps. The egg is not so scary, but the lamb face would freak me out a bit.
The pasta bowl.
The balut disturbs me on a deep, subconscious level that I don't think I could ever overcome. The Domino's bowl disturbs me on every level my mind has.
I'm like the dwarves of Moria or that one professor in any H.P. Lovecraft novel. I delve too deep.
the Masai do that.
Think of your mind. YOUR MIND.
I must know... what happens next.
Thank you.
It should be noted, however, that most people clean and carve their ducks instead of devouring them whole.
I would love to try the balut and the escamoles - the other items in that list I can live without though.
For Balut though, I probably will have to eat it with my eyes closed.

Yummy
Does it count if the duck hasn't been born yet? I mean, it hasn't eaten anything so it's not like it's full of poo and pee. Just rich nutrients and proteins.
I bet it's just their exact same pizza toppings, with a few pasta noodles added. That's the impression I get looking at it.

You should probably watch the commercials for this particular pasta before you pass judgment.
I've seen them. It's still just pasta and damn bread.
OK here's a comparison - The Australian version of a Domino's ad.

And the American version of the same thing.

The first one actually looks like it's attempting to be appetizing.
I found this video review for the American pasta bowls. Unsurprisingly, they are salty and the best one isn't so much a pasta dish as it is a modified pizza topping.

They have videos showing how the bowls are made on Youtube also. This is not a bowl. It's a tiny pizza that's sides puff up to give the illusion of a bowl. The pasta mixture is basically lobbed into the center of the dough before being put into the oven. Fast-forward to 1:00 in this movie to see how they're made. Be sure to stick around for the copious amount of garlic and butter power dusted onto the sides and the awesome rip it, tear it, dump on it demo from the reporter.
