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

[Kizzy]

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

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. 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 . I just cooked it and then ate it direct .

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

I hate boring ol circle plates, i have oval, square, rectangular as well as circle at home

And i like having mine served on quirky things when eating out at a restaurant

[Vanessa]

I don't mind. As long as the food is good.

[smudgie]

We had good old fish and chips, served in paper a mere two hours ago.
I just wish fish shops and fish restaurants would learn how to cook decent chips

We used to blanche our chips, then it's a quick dip in hot oil for lovely crispy cooked chips.

I'd imagine so, I worked in a few bars/restaurants when I was younger and everything went through the dishwashers
