WE’VE LOOKED AT some odd methods of serving up food and drink in the past, but this concerning epidemic continues.

Twitter account @WeWantPlates is still relentlessly exposing some of the more ridiculous ways to serve up meals and something needs to be done to stop them, sooner or later.

1. Peas in a seashell

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

2. Or a shotglass

3. Ice cream in a sink

We couldn't find this Tweet

4. This, all of this

"And how is the sea bass served?"
"In a tiny can, on a massive log."

7. A cheese… cupboard

"Can we have the cheeseboard for dessert, please?"
"Cheese cupboard."
"Cheeseboard."
"CUPBOARD."
