Fancy Your Dinner On These 'plates'

[DTCwordfan]

Unbelievable

Personally, I don't see why I should eat my meal from something that has come off a building site or out of a builder's supplier.

Any examples/experiences yourself?

As it so happens, I'm serving Arancini a lá sweaty trainer for dinner tonight.

No thanks, NoM, no foot fetish here.

A pub near me serves a mixed grill on a shovel, with bread in a flat cap.
The pint glass in your link is a cottage pie - I hate the trend.
Bring back plates and dishes.

[DTCwordfan]

yep, the foam the mash and the beer the gravy. I agree, hc, too gimmicky, food on slate or a plank of wood, perhaps but a ruddy brick - pleeeeeze.

[ummmm]

I think the mini trolley is quite cute but the rest is pretentious crap.

[Mamyalynne]

Not for me, too many looked like an accident had taken place.

I do have a confession though - I once priced up some mini chip baskets for serving fries, never actually bought them though.

[hereIam]

I like my meals served on a plate and only a plate. These are far too pretentious !

[hc4361]

Those mini chip baskets let the chips get cold too quickly - and they must be a faff to clean and store

[albaqwerty]

I blame the flipping cooking programmes.
Pretentious.

Once had steak and chips with trimmings on a wooden board, did't make the food taste any better.

[Smowball]

Oh surely some of those have got to be a wind up? I mean , how would most restaurant kitchens even have the room to store all those bricks, trolleys, crates etc! Madness lol.

[DTCwordfan]

I've had slate, marble and polished wood (like a beech) but, I agree, some of this is mind-boggling....I must make a note to have my wake served in a coffin.....

[hc4361]

I hate those 'sizzler' hot plate things that keep cooking the food. I like my steak rare not frazzled

[ummmm]

Mamy...I so want those chip baskets.

[DTCwordfan]

I hate copper serving lamps at breakfast, splits the hollandaise for an eggs benedict

[Lie-in King]

Pretentious, over-priced (no doubt) nonsense.

[Mamyalynne]

I know Ummmm, I think it brings out the Doll's House collector side of me.

Also looked at mini gravy boats but they were way too small for my lot.

[hc4361]

This is the mixed grill I mentioned earlier

[ummmm]

hc - and the food looks a mess.

What is it with stacking food?

[hc4361]

It does look a mess. :(

[Kathyan]

I'm sorry but if a restaurant served me a meal like some of those I would send it back and ask for it to be put on a proper plate!
