It seems to be a common trend among restaurants to experiment with their food presentations by replacing plates with decorative items like wooden boards and slates.
However, these plate-less dishes have inspired one disgruntled diner to create a Twitter account that documents the ridiculous food presentations created and served in restaurants around the world.
Started by UK-based photographer Ross McGinnes, ‘We Want Plates’ features various dishes served on anything but plates—noteworthy examples include sandwiches arranged on a small wooden bench, and a whole roast chicken served in a picnic basket.
Would you tuck into a dish that is not served on a conventional plate?
