Plates
 

Why have plates fallen out of favour as the item of choice for serving food on?

Perhaps I'm a traditionalist, but I don't like having food brought to me on a shovel or a chopping board, nor do I like my chips in a little galvanised bucket.

A rare steak served on a flat piece of wood is only ever going to end with run-off :(

Well it makes a change from the seemingly endless "How much is my number plate worth"

:)

lol.Some corkers on there

Whoever started this trend needs to incarcerated and fed gruel with a two pronged fork. :mad:

Especially as I'm a bit of a germophobe; there is no way a scratched up chopping board or manky bit of slate can be properly cleaned.

I think it's now got to a point where the restaurants and chefs are now just playing with the punters. They KNOW it's all bollocks. It's like an in-joke.

I hate the trend of serving your food on a wooden tray and then puttibg all the other accompanyments in little dishes next to the wood, I would prefer it all on a nice white porcelain plate

Me too. Just serve up on a normal ceramic plate FFS!!

Popcorn chicken anyone? Served with Verruca salt

:lol1:

Roofing slates being used as plates is in no way an idea that has come from a balanced mind. Far too flat. The only upside is a little bit of amusement when the waiter/waitress tries to get their fingers underneath it to take it away - especially if they bite their nails.

I remember when a "cup-a-soup" was a novelty serving suggestion.

Because every chef in the UK thinks he's Michel Roux. Then again, I just find the whole eating out scene in the UK pretty dire in general when compared to other places around the globe.

Don't get me started on the Michelin Star food, what would you rather have?

This?

Bad boy :). You know what your paying for :)

Damn, I could nail that right now. Salivating like a c**t lol

Oh don't get me started, what happens when you want gravy on chips that are served on an old floor board. If i wanted my food on a slate tile, I would have thrown it on the roof, my peas would roll off onto the floor just as easy.
And steaks on sizzling hot plates, If I as for it rare why the fug would i want it left cooking until it's welldone. What about tea cups with handles so small my 5 week old daughter would have to hold it for me.
..... glad thats off my chest now haha

That's what gutters are for ;) pea catchers :lol1:

Thank god its not just me then on this plate vs bit of wood/slate

...All ready for you to pop the little bees' pelts on, to keep them warm. :lol1:

I was once served a meal on a flat slate..In my annoyance, I deliberately smothered the steak in peppercorn sauce, allowing it run from the slate and over the table.
When the waiter returned a few minutes later with the disinterested and insincere, "are you enjoying your meals?" I politely requested that a fresh meal be served in an appropriate piece of apparatus in which to contain the meal and any liquid condiments.

We have a 'winner'...
