Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

      I was on a school trip to a hotel, and was handed some dragon fruit. They didn’t tell me how to eat it, so I bit right into it. Took out a big chunk and wanting to try something new I kept chewing it.

      The man had a look of what was a mix between horror and surprise on his face and told me to spit it out.

      Not really a plate but I was handed something with inedible parts and no instructions. Similar I suppose?

      Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but a lot of bakeries around here will serve baked goods on a plate with a napkin under the baked goods. Not a big problem with things like croissants, but when cakes and stuff with sticky bottoms are served like this, it drives me insane. Both the purpose of the napkin and the plate has been defeated.

      Fun fact: The original purpose of parsley on a plate was that it was there for you to eat. Specifically there for you to eat at the end of a meal as a breath freshener.

      Skewers and other utensils are obviously OK. Some parts of natural foods can sometimes act like skewers or utensils, too, so that just becomes a normal part of the presentation and eating method. Like cocktail shrimp should still have the tails on, as a little handle.

      When I was a little kid, I ate one of those red peppers at a Chinese restaurant. I didn’t know that you were supposed to pick them out. This probably explains my love of spicy food.

        You were supposed to not eat those? Well, I figured, I’m not obligated to eat everything if I want less spicy, but I never thought that those are decorative
