We want plates (nous voulons des assiettes) est un site et un compte Twitter hilarant qui répertorie les contenants de plats les plus désastreux vus dans les restaurants à travers le monde.
Si le compte existe depuis des années, il semblerait que les restaurateurs n'aient toujours pas appris la leçon.
Ici, nous avons collecté 39 des pires idées d'"assiette" présentées sur We Want Plates - certaines sont peu judicieuses, d'autres vraiment bizarres ou carrément... illégales et anti-hygiéniques !
Par exemple, voudriez-vous prendre votre petit-déjeuner dans une gamelle pour chien ? On ne pense pas.
Une fois le stade de la rigolade passé, vous vous demanderez sûrement comment certains chefs ont pu penser que leur idée était bonne - en tout cas ce fut notre réaction.
Avez-vous déjà vécu quelque chose de similaire ou même pire ? Dites-le nous sur notre page Facebook.
You can't go wrong with a classic Shepherd's Pie. Unless you're the Old George Inn, South Cerney.
