We Want Plates

[bi0boy]

If you "want plates" don't go to some hipster wank bar to buy a meal.

It's like ordering fried fish in Rayomnd Blanc's restaurant and then complaining it's not wrapped in newspaper.

I think those olives are balanced on little slates.

I think those olives are balanced on little slates.

So they are. I suggest eating the slates and then suing the establishment.

Can't eat rosemary. I meant what is the black stuff the olives are balanced on?

Looks like slate. It's just the olives that are edible.

My mum and dads friend gave it to his elderly mother-in-law on purpose.
He did stop her just before she put it in her mouth though.

I was at a restaurant where the food was served on massive slabs of wood. The waitress was actually having problems lifting them from the table and made a joke about silly designers.

And that's just not hygienic.

 

[Maharani]

I don't know what that's served in, but I don't want any.

I don't know what it is let alone what it's served in! Eughhhh.

 

[DotCommunist]

little dogfood bowls.

It's "chocolate softserve."

 

[Maharani]

It's arsitan poo.

They probably sell in in Brixton Village then.

Y'know I don't mind a slab of wood or something to serve food if it's suitable. For example if I'm a BBQ place and a thing of ribs is served on a board, absolutely fine. Or for a desert a slice of cheese cake on one of those granite slabs can be visually quit appealing, and have a very nice presentation.

But things like the gravy served in a old coke can can just fuck off.

The first time I saw food on a wooden block was in Germany in the 1990s. It was a mixed grill and sort of made sense in that context. Wood is supposed to have anti-septic qualities that make it hygienic.

I don't know about rat traps and trowels. But in perfectly ordinary pubs they bring you stuff on boards and slates nowadays. It's not OK. And those of you who think it is are wrong.

Peas roll off them.

What is the context that means mixed grill and plank have a bond?

Mixed grill:

Plank:

Wood is supposed to have anti-septic qualities that make it hygienic.

Good, because it doesn't fit in dishwashers.

WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE PEAS!

It isn't.

Cream or custard with that?

 

[danny la rouge]

The technology of a pottery thing with a rim to stop gravy slopping off or chips sliding away from your fork and off the edge was developed over centuries.

Going back to slates turns the clock back not just to before the beaker people, but to before neolithic times.

served in a minature plastic bucket no doubt, and expected to dip

Maybe in hipster places, but not in pubs where I might go. It gets slopped onto the slate.

 

[hot air baboon]

I blame Heston.

...dunno about that...they had plates last time I went in there...

A few pieces of ice cream. Who has cream or custard with cheese cake

 

[danny la rouge]

[danny la rouge]

Ice cream piece:

 

[8den]

Okay i meant to say "scoops of ice cream" but the word momentarly eluded me.

"Sometimes it just looks like pintrest threw up on a table"

It does look delicous though. Loads of sausages, fried chicken, and some kind of deep fried meat or veg in a tempura batter. I wouldnt turn my nose at it just because of the presentation.

The rat trap thing can fuck the fuck off however.

We want Plates was started by my friend and neighbour Ross McGinnes. His wife gets very embarrassed by all the fuss.
