Plates v slates: the backlash against gimmicky serving dishes | Life and style | The Guardian:"Why would you serve chips inside a miniature shopping trolley? To disguise a portion that would fit inside a cigarette packet? Because nothing says “tasty” like a tiny recreation of a freshers’ week piss-up? Or is it because no one’s been kind enough to say: “Dude! You work in a greasy spoon!”?
These are the questions that, since March, Ross McGinnes has been asking via his We Want Plates Twitter account. To rail against pretentious restaurants’ “gastropub style-over-content nonsense”, he tweets photographs – largely submitted by his followers – of their more baffling presentation choices. Think casseroles served in jars, desserts that have been squished into plant pots, and fry-ups dolloped atop garden shovels. All of these are actual examples."
