Are you like me worried about the growth of some pubs and restaurants forgetting what a plate looks like? If you dine at a trendy gourmet burger chain, a gastropub or an independent bistro, there is a high risk of your food being served on something else entirely.
This trend from trendy restaurateurs and chefs think they are making some arty food statement but really, they are making an idiot of themselves. I thought flat slate plates and wooden boards were a step to far but today I offer to you dog bowl. No Pedigree Chum on offer, the £4.29 meal consists of a 'mound' of sausages, smoky bacon, chips and baked beans and from the picture looks like dog food all plopped in a dog bowl.
Even this morning I was watching BBC Breakfast where they were interviewing Prue Leith from the TV show Great British Menu who are going to celebrate the Women's Institute’s 100th anniversary with chefs from across the country be pitted against each other for the chance to cook at a banquet. They showed a scene for the upcoming series where one of the chefs used a mini garden bench to display his food.
If I sat down for a meal and someone brought it out on a shovel or a bed of flowers I would send it straight back to the kitchen with the simple message to put it on a plate.
