Believe it or not, there was a time when restaurants served food on plates. Not a wooden board or a slate, but on a simple piece of crockery.

不论你相信与否，世界曾经有过碟子做餐具的时代，而不是木板、石板或简陋的陶器。

The plate was usually white and round, and had the advantage of keeping food in one place while making it look nice.

碟子通常都是白色圆形，可以将食物固定在一个地方而且看起来很美观。

Nowadays, anyone hoping for a relaxing meal out will be expected to wrestle their steak off a breadboard, fish their chips out of a bucket and their rotisserie chicken off a brick.

现如今，渴望外出好好放松吃顿饭的人们很可能遭遇电线板上的牛排，木桶端来的鱼和薯条以及板砖送来的烤鸡。

 

 

苹果?甜点被盛放在显示iPad上，iPad的屏幕上显示的是一张碟子的图片。

 

 

盛放在垃圾箱盖子里的烤什锦是另类餐具的又一代表

Across the country, gastropubs and restaurants — desperate to be on-trend — are serving their food in flower pots, dog bowls, roof tiles, high heeled shoes...What on earth is going on? And please can we make it stop?

在英国各地，很多新式餐吧和餐厅都在赶时髦，使用花盆、狗食碗、屋顶瓦片甚至高跟鞋等物品盛放食物。这是怎么了，请停下来好吗?
