Heh, didn't one chain do those in Ciabatta?  (All Bar One?) 


Still kind of makes me  :facepalm:

That is wrong, in such a way that can never be explained.  It is plain white medium sliced bread, none of your crusty bread shite.  It is like a sugar sandwich. Now available on toasted sourdough with aioli oil.

Before it closed down, Revolutions (of the many vodkas and vomiting teenagers fame) in Swindon did a "posh" fishfinger sandwich. Which is missing the point somewhat, non?

It's okay if you say it's 'ironic'.  You might even get away with 'post-modern'.

The next phase will be "authentic" versions of things like this. A fishfinger sandwich using Findus fishfingers and Motherspride bread with Heinz ketchup and Sarsons malt vinegar. It will be severed on a rusty trowel accompanied by Vimto in a jam jar: a bargain at £15.

There is a whole fuck off with your jam jar shite rant coming....along with put it on a fucking plate.

The most hipsterish thing I've made for myself was falafel and salad wrap with tahini.  Sainsbury's tahini is vile, don't bother.

Oddly, I like drinking out of the jam jars. It brings out my inner hobo. I had some splendid IPA in jam jars in both Nashville and, erm, Herne Hill recently.

I'm sure. I don't even get seasick.

Nashville was where I tried to scale My Own Porcine Everest and failed.

Don't forget, a hipster meal cannot be a hipster meal if it served on a plate. A bread board is only a marginally-hipster food support device. It may have been fully hipster in the past, but the bread board is now at the edge of hipster-dom. We recently ate at a restaurant where a korma was served in an enamel dish from the 1940s (so far so practical-but-kitsch), yet the rice was piled on a sheet of greaseproof paper, on a tray. The problem was, we didn't even know we were in a hipster restaurant. There was no warning, and frankly, no justification. After a few moments of 'chase the grains', Ms Fruitcake requested a plate, and harmony was restored.

Unlike the catastrophe supporting this starter (and I truly hope this is a starter). There can be nothing harmonious about bread on roofing material. Nothing.




You might be wondering, how much worse this can get? Sadly, it gets far worse, as documented at twitter.com/wewantplates.

Sorry for the diversion back a week, but I couldn't resist...

My wife prefers to stay in Santa Monica because she's scaredy. Wait till she finds out I'm planning to take her to Kinshasa later this year.

My wife's going to Kinshasa for her holidays.
Jamaica?
Yes.



OK, back to the smashed avocado on sourdough.

Rice on greaseproof paper or potatoes in plant pots are merely annoyingly trendy and somewhat impractical but dessert on a flip-flop, or any sort of food served on or in any sort of footwear, is really unappetising.  :sick:

Oh, I drank some champagne from your shoe, la l-la.
I was drunk by the time I got through, la l-la.
For I didn't know as I raised that cup,
It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up.

I expect that when plates were developed the people who were used to trenchers of bread found them frivolous too.

Yay it has come to pass, peak hipster food. When visiting Malton food fair this weekend amongst the organic beef, ostrich burger, and middle eastern street food stalls I cam upon one who's entire range of comestibles consisted on variations on ......

THE FISH-FINGER SANDWICH !

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
