30 Times People Would’ve Rather Had Plates And Glasses Instead Of These Disasters (New Pics)

Actually impressed with this one. Cool.

The food looks good, looks like a good quality knife but doesn't need the gimmick, let your cooking / preparation speak for itself.

Jokes on all of us…the whole thing is actually a cake.

but its BEAUTIFUL

Can I take the knife home?

At least it is likely to be clean!

Lookit those two cute lil enokis

"Open wide! No, to the left, no my left. no other... What was it in USA? 9-1-1 is it? M'kay..."

I opened this up expecting the worst but this? This one is ... yeah, I really like this one.

Any estimates on its price?

pretty! id be happy if i got this on my table!

That is one sharp meal.

Invitation to the ER.

I suppose it ensures good service. You wouldn't want to give a knife like this to someone who had a grudge.

It is a bold move, to serve somebody like this AND give him a knife.

is it food for dolls or how big is the knife?

Knives are not plates. It looks good but I t makes me a bit nervous.

Very beautiful, so artistic! to me it looks as if the edge of the knife, the black part is a treatment to seal the edge so no one can cut themselves. You can see it's definitely a layer of something on the edge.

This is beautifully done! I’m not so sure if it’s meant to be served to a customer or is set up for photography.

The wooden plank is the plate.

I like it!

Was it sufficient to eat? Portion Looks dainty, won’t satisfy the appetite.

It's gorgeous looking but I'm hoping that's a dull knife. And not to mention brave of this restaurant, this brand of knife often retails for at least a couple hundred dollars each.

The anxiety that I would cut myself…

DON'T lick your plate clean.

Also, it's on a plank. Plenty of places serve food on planks. I'm for it.

However artistic this looks, there are two glaring problems with serving food like this. (1) That's not a food grade piece of wood; it's just a standard piece of lumber, so there's no way it's being cleaned properly between uses. (2) Someone absolutely will cut themselves on the ragged edges of that knife and sue your restaurant.

I hope that's a broadsword.

In a lot of cultures eating from a knife means terrible luck.

This is how sword swallowers eat

Looks cool, but so useless...unless they give you a plate. We also serve some salads in fancy jars, just because of the look, but the guest get a bowl too.

Yep , giving a potentially drunk customer a knife is an excellent idea.

Raw fish, horrid, hope they killed all the worms first before serving

This is a flop big enough to make someone flip :D

Tiny wedge of salad for $18. Absolutely ridiculous.

It's not the worst thing here

This establishment is next to a race track - Waste not want not! (please want not!)

Here we see a lamb in its natural environment (with David Attenborough's voice)

This is even adding to the waste..

No..no..you can't always be sure your hands are 100% clean just use a plate..plus sticky fingers 😣

Thats normal and traditional in japan.

Hello, health dept?

Did the waiter / waitress trip coming to the table?

Bento box disguised as iphone?

I have an idea for how to leave a tip...

Ohhh dinner with a side of tetanus

Waiter- When ever you need me just shout "oink" sir!

mac & geez

This is not a restaurant. This is someone’s house, and I’m betting this was some sort of family joke.

Put your mouth at the edge of the table and hope some of it runs in your direction.

Charcuterie clipboard?

Plant abuse

Just be glad we didn't deep fry it.
