Anyone sad and pathetic enough ( Oh dear, that means me!! ) to watch daytime TV cooking shows will know that this is nothing new. Many of the Jamie Oliver 15 minute meals were served in this idiotic manner. Surely it's not as bad as the "fine dining" experience where you get served a few pathetic morsels that would happily fit on a saucer. Another stupid fad is to serve the food on a slate, the logical extension of which is to serve a meal on a giant boulder that requires a fork lift truck to deliver to the punter and causes the table to collapse half way through the meal.
My scampi in a Portsmouth pub some months back arrived in a dimpled pint jug.
I think one of the listed points was something along the lines of "don't patronise female drinkers". To illustrate, see this amazing rant:

Perhaps CAMRA's new slogan should be:
Does that mean I look down on those that enjoy their [crappy keg] neat? No. I don’t give a fuck what you like.
To be fair, I have a weakness for charismatic redheads

Has anyone mentioned chips served in little metal buckets? I can only imagine some frozen food company - eg McCain's - acquired a container load from China on the cheap and every customer got a couple of boxes of them. They'll all start going rusty sooner or later and that, thankfully, will be that.
