What’s so wrong with plates. I hate this when restaurants try s add bud be quirky by serving food on random objects that don’t even come close to being described as crockery.

Rant over!

This was what I’d always order when I was younger out for a pub lunch.

I’ve not had it for years, I might get some today. Thanks op.

I was dragged along to a place once by my parents, and we were served something in a basket. (I cannot remember what it was, it was *that* memorable).

Other diners also had "baskets"

All I can remember thinking was the restaurant was too poor to have real plates, and they had some poor sod making wicker baskets out back.

I then wondered how on earth they managed to keep up with the demand for new baskets with each serving, as I rationalised they couldn't wash them properly for every new customer.

So I then imagined they had a team of wicker-making people feverishly making new baskets at a great pace.

I've not eaten in a place that serves in wicker-baskets ever since, as it gives me the fear.

Ah, Bernie Inns a flashback to the happy days of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Scampi and chips plus a dessert or cheese and biscuits under a £1

What goes around comes around im sure basket meals will have a resurrection when some swanky kitchen guru starts a fad.

I would like scampi in a basket with some nice chips, lashings of vinegar and a side bowl of tartare sauce for dipping the scampi in. Perhaps a pickled gherkin too, as a side. Indded, i would find this a welcome change from pretencious chips in little metal litter bin liners, or, the worst cuisinal fad of fare arranged on roofing tiles; the return of the basket is overdue.

I did buy some baskets from the middle aisle so can recreate scampi in a basket whenever I feel the need.

I can remember food being served in a basket but then they had the idea of ditching the basket and put the meal in a giant yorkshire pudding, solve the basket washing problem overnight

I sometimes make a big yorkshire and fill it with stuff even now

I love the detail of overthinking this. It's what Mr Salty does all the time and Mrs Salty has to listen to the diatribe afterwards
