But they usually put the greasy food on grease-proof paper on top of the blocks :suspect:. It's a conspiracy.

True

Its probably for the free social media promotion, in the same way that starbucks will purposely misspell your name

Grow up. If a mod says it's okay for SD then what's your problem?

I have posted threads in general chat but felt this suitable for SD. So!

Ok clearly didn't read it so the point has gone completely over your head, nevermind :facepalm:

I don't want to drink my drink from a jam jar (another annoying fad), nor do I want to eat my dinner off a bit of wood that I'm not 100% sure has been cleaned properly.

Now whose complaining about something silly when there are so many serious problems in the world. Practice what you preach.

Your blatant attempts to find any excuse to ridicule and bait are there for all to see. I will leave you to it! :wavey:

And yet there was a national outcry when we couldn't have our fish and chips in paper any longer.

Was there? Wasn't it because they found out the ink was carcinogenic?? :joker:

"HOW DARE YOU take away my delicious cancer paper. Bloody bureaucrats!"

There was in the mail.. as it is a bastion of Britishness.. you know like smoking in pubs and choking everyone with exhaust fumes, it's British innit!!!

I was given a drink in a planter the other day. Ridiculous pretentious rubbish.

i used to love the smell of fish and chips in newspaper

But then you got a huge tumor in your nose and had to have it removed entirely?

Well now we have to eat them in a nice melting plastic tray mmmmmmmmm melting plastic

I quite like the little metal bucket for chips. It keeps them seperate from the rest of the meal, especially if it's greasy. I don't want my chips drowning in meat juices.

You might have a point there! My pet hate though, as TS so succinctly put it, is eating off a chopping board. I got a burger etc served up in what appeared to be a frying pan a few weeks' ago.

That will be a sizzling platter, they have been around for as long as chicken in a basket :joker:

I hate these! If I wanted to feel anxious about burning myself I could have cooked my steak at home.

They can keep their sizzling platter and give me a plate. :fist: I haven't' had it before probably because I usually order pasta dishes.

actually this pub near me serves the chips in these little frying basket things, they do look nice but I always just throw the chips on my plate anyway

I like the presentation that gives your food like a special vibe and links it to the culture the dish is from, all I worry about though is the cleanliness of some of the materials like wood and everything and if they can remove all the bacteria from it, especially when the wood is carved
A very first world problem though

I love those steak on the stone things though

For two weeks at the beginning of 2nd year Uni, I had no money, no plates, and very little food (a couple of huge bags of rice and things like onions, peppers, the occasional chicken breast) which I literally ate out of a frying pan :joker:. I just cooked it and then ate it direct :worry:.

Serves you right should've had cheesy chips and ramen noodles like everyone else!!

I literally had £15 to last 2 and a half weeks - cheese was a luxury I could ill afford! :joker:
