Agreed. They don't usually have a lip around either so losing something off the edge is something of a risk. Losing food is not something that is acceptable to me.:)

Exactly. Last night I was served both my starter and main on a plank with a lovely bit of soggy grease proof paper underneath both offerings I assume for some sort of protection. Just use a frigging plate. :roll:

See also Slate chunks. :( Maybe we could start a campaign to ask for a plate when served food on alternatives?

Whilst not quite as bad, I bloody hate novelty pint pots - Peroni, San Miguel, Starorammen (sp) all have their own glasses.

I ALWAYS ask for it in a "Normal Pint Glass"...

I just drink out of whatever they give me

I think it’s (proppah) Belgian beer where each beer will have its own specially shaped glass. I think that’s fun. I’m sure there’s an element of science involved. Maybe 90% fun, 10% science

My mate's dad used to drink out of a Rose's Marmalade jar because he swore they were unbreakable and tbf the first time I asked he bounced the one he was using off a wall :lol:.

Those jar shaped glasses with handles fuck right off though.

I tend not mind burgers and that served on boards but they end up looking shit because of the amount of times they go through the dishwasher. Plates are preferred.

Pretty much every big shite beer has their own glass, it's free marketing for the brand. Try not drinking shite beer, you'll get a normal glass ;).

Was in Cambrinus once (in Bruges) and a group of Spanish people seemed quite put out at having their glasses taken away - they wanted their new, different, beer in the same glasses. Cue one very confused and put out Belgian waitress.

I'll have it as it comes ta, although preferably not in a fvcking jar.

The drink thing doesn’t bother me, though of course it depends on the setting. There’s a good cocktail place (callooh callay) I know that serves awesome cocktails in a chilled lidded pewter tankard, you’d feel a berk with it at your local, but it’s all part of the presentation there.

Slate/wood/other plates can of course fuck off though.

Prezzo serve their “executive” pizza on wooden boards. Agree they look crap but not sure if they’re that unhygienic. I’m neutropenic and it hasn’t caused me any problems yet!
How about not having a sig at all?

As delicious as they look, that might be the subject of another moan actually - burgers that require a fliptop head and dislocatable jaw in order to eat :lol:
