This ‘shepherd’s pie in a pint glass’ is bad enough, but it was the thing in the background that really got people talking
We’d kind of thought, or at least hoped, that the days of restaurants and pubs serving food on anything other than a plate were mercifully coming to an end.
Fish and chips on a slate tile, a roast dinner on a wooden board, soup in a shoe – surely the moment has passed?
But no. Jamie Klingler has posted a new culinary abomination on Twitter/X. It appears to be a shepherd’s (or quite possibly a cottage) pie masquerading as a pint of Guinness. It’s as grim as you would expect.
I’ve seen some awful plating, but this is next level pic.twitter.com/PhbTl33rNe

Truly awful. Are you supposed to eat it or down it in one?
Of course, people had opinions.

I once saw someone throw up in a pint glass. It wasn’t too dissimilar to this.

Too much head on that shepherd’s pie

That’ll be a firm ‘nope’ from everybody, then.
But what really got people talking was the ‘thing’ lurking in the background of the picture. Did you spot it? These people certainly did.
Let’s zoom in…

What, in the name of utterly cyclopean horrors, is The Thing That Should Not Be on the plate in the background? https://t.co/p3YJvyAM6d

The pint of shepherds pie is an abomination enough, but what the actual fuck is the weird hand octopus on the plate behind?? https://t.co/kdZ0aDI2qz

Answers on a postcard, please! It’s almost enough to put us off our vase of apple crumble.
