What's wrong with a plate?

We've had fish and chips as a pub meal a couple of times this year and there seems to be a trend of putting the fish on top of the chips.

Not a good idea and it makes the chips soggy......

What a lot of moaners we have become ,,,, at least we have food think of the Syrians no food, no real life really so perhaps we should be thankful we can fill our stomachs from whatever the food is served in or on and be thankful.....SG2....

 Sorry SG2, but the discussion is about food presentation.  It has nothing to do with Syria or anywhere else!

Some places have got a bit 'poncy' with prices to match. We find we eat more in the van now, seldom treating ourselves to a meal out.

That made me laugh CY  as I would describe a couple of pubs near us as 'poncy' .  Both are called "The (poncy) Plough" 

The way people moan on here about CC site charges I am amazed that so many people 'eat out' at all

Lyn Ruby,

 I am educated enough to understand the theme of the discussion about plates and food presentation . My point was to highlight how  petty the discussion had become worrying over  cups, mugs, bins and plates for chips etc   when there are thousands starving who would  eat anything from anything if it were food. Obviously you are not sensitive enough to understand that, I am and felt my comments were valid...SG2

Last year while holidaying in Wales we ate at a hotel in Llandudno. We should have known what to expect when we saw pictures of Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi on the wall. The burger and miniscule side salad were served on what looked like a roof slate and the chips in a tiny tin bucket.

SG2 .... I do realise that there are people starving all over the world   I was not being insensitive, just keeping on topic.  

Maybe you should start a new thread regarding your concerns?

Perhaps it's an age thing but I fail to see the logic of the various items of a dish being piled one on top of another when the first thing you need to do is knock them all down to be able to eat them.  When did it become the norm not to arrange your steak or whatever on a plate with your veggies and carbs nicely arranged around the plate?
