When I was a child it was considered that families that used jam jars as drinks containers had reached the lowest ebb of poverty.:-0

Nowadays it is considered extremely chic to be served drinks in such vessels, especially in all the so called higher end eateries.

Particularly with hot coffee, I want a container (cup) with a handle so that I can at least hold the flaming thing :-|

I'm guessing they don't clean overly well hence the paper !

I always wonder exactly how washable, and therefore, clean, these odd receptacles are :-(

What is so wrong about eating off a plate?

We went to a Harvester yesterday (Oh how the other half lives!) and I ordered a beetroot and halloumi burger, a pretty strange concoction in itself, and OH had some sort of burger. They were alright to eat but they were served on a metal tray with a piece of paper under the food. It had sloping sides about an inch deep and handles!

We have, at different cafes and restaurants we have visited, also been obliged to eat from slate tiles and breadboards. Why this should be I cannot imagine but, then again, I have never understood the idea of having your dinner in a basket.

Really, I much prefer to eat my meal from a plate, I know where I am with that.
