I like going to pubs, I like going to restaurants, I like
nice food, good wholesome comfort food, but I’m not a fan of your fancy food, your nouveau cuisine and I am particularly not a fan of pubs and restaurants
that don’t serve their food on plates.
We’ve all been there - cheese on a slate, chips in a
little metal basket, sandwiches on a bread board, macaroni cheese in a pint
jug, soup in a tea pot, noodles in a stiletto. Just stop it, stop it now. The
plate has been meticulously designed over eons to carry food, be completely
cleanable and easily stacked. Anything else is just puerile and pretentious.
