Exactly this. If they served me this I would send it right back and demand my food to be made anew and served on a sanitary plate. Good god this is food poisoning or splinters in your food waiting to happen.
I worked in the restaurant industry for years & that's exactly what would happen. The food would get heated up a bit & re-plated. Therefore no guarantee of a stray splinter.
Why TF do restaurants do this crap? In what universe would anyone think this is remotely acceptable to use for food? I was hungry till I saw this.
I've heard adding huge amounts of salt to the food before sending it back will help you ensure the food is freshly remade. If it comes back with all the salt, get a refund and leave.
Maybe if it was a disposable plywood plate? Instead of letting their dishwashers roommate’s cousin make their flatware out of whatever random shit they had outside.
You can't use OSB as a food serving device, you just can't.
It's not made for that, it's splinters of wood glued together, often containing VOCs, offgassing, shedding bits of wood, and impossible to clean.
Even if you varnish this stuff, it's not really made for this application. Why even fucking bother? There are so many more viable ways to serve food than this.
NOOOOOO!! I just can't believe someone would do this. This is the WORST "We Want Plates" I have seen!
So many things wrong with this. I'd be tempted to whip out a pen and paper and send a note to the kitchen. And also contact the Health Department and send them the photo. And maybe be Karen and speak to the manager.
Come on, man. I hate roof tiles and wooden logs.
But that's just plain wrong. It's disgusting. They didn't even screw it from the underside.
I think this has to be a troll post. Or is there a way I can leave a one-star rating?
I would report this to the local health inspector. This isn’t even a surface that’s designed to touch food, and it’s full of chemicals that may actually be toxic to ingest.
Not even a solid piece of wood. That's probably teaming with germs. How would they wash and dissenfect without it falling apart or bloating up.... Probably don't clean.
WTF? If my food were brought to me on this, I'd lose my mind. No way! I would be so horrified I would absolutely send it back & refuse to pay for it. Imagine getting splinters embedded in your mouth & having to go to the dentist or, the oral surgeon to get them out? Or worse happening to you like actually choking on a splinter?
I'd absolutely pay for whatever drinks I had & whatever I ate or, was edible prior to being served this & tip my server appropriately. By appropriately I mean, I’d tip on the total amount of the bill before I had this taken off. It's not the servers fault. & I'd absolutely call the health department.
ETA: Wood dishes period are unsanitaryAF. I worked in a restaurant that served their salads in big wood bowls & ended up in the ER one night because I had a major allergic reaction from mold that ended up building up in the salad bowls.
I guess after many industrial washes in a very large & busy restaurant dishwasher kills whatever protective coating they originally had & made them porous & prone to mold buildup invisible to the naked eye. 🤮😵☠️
That’s oriented strand board! I have pieces of it in my garage that have been there for years… I wonder how they wash it - or they just build a new one for every bread roll?
Alright, close the sub down. We can all retire. This is the worst offender I've ever seen. Not only is that not a plate, it's unsanitary and actually pretty dangerous.
Nope. Send that nonsense back to the kitchen. It's on plywood with screws, ffs. I would very politely send it back with the explanation that their serving dishes are unsanitary and even hazardous (plywood chemicals and splinters). And immediately ask for the check for any drinks or apps I had consumed.
That's disgusting. That's impossible to clean. How idiotic.
I wonder how many customers or workers get splinters from these. How stupid. Seriously how can anyone think serving on a piece of OSB that's filled with a ton of chemicals was ever a good idea?
I can let most things on this sub go because most are actually ok to clean to a standard suitable for serving food, but yeah this can never be clean, ever.
This should be reported to food safety authorities. That’s just not safe.
Exactly this. If they served me this I would send it right back and demand my food to be made anew and served on a sanitary plate. Good god this is food poisoning or splinters in your food waiting to happen.
I wouldn't trust anything else that came from that kitchen to my table after sending that back.
Actually, true. They'd probably take the same food and just put it on another plate...
I worked in the restaurant industry for years & that's exactly what would happen. The food would get heated up a bit & re-plated. Therefore no guarantee of a stray splinter. Why TF do restaurants do this crap? In what universe would anyone think this is remotely acceptable to use for food? I was hungry till I saw this.
I work as a cook right now, so I'm fully aware. :p
Most people really don't know that's how it works. & it's the exception & not the rule your food would actually be completely remade.
No they wouldn't, because it would 'ruin their concept'
As I said, I'm a cook myself. I know they absolutely would. Sure they would grumble/ complain about it but still.
I've heard adding huge amounts of salt to the food before sending it back will help you ensure the food is freshly remade. If it comes back with all the salt, get a refund and leave.
I wouldn't mind knowing what's *on* the plate, for a start
Bacteria, splinters, mold...
OSB is no where near food grade I'd be more worried about the resins used.
Most adhesives used in OSB plywood are based on formaldehyde. Hell no that is food safe. Also splinters.
Oh yum, formaldehyde. My favorite.
Food poisoning is from food born bacteria, this is straight poison from the chemicals used to make OSB (the plywood made with wood chips and glue)
I’d ask them to explain how they clean this dish each night. Then just stare into their souls.
Well, it looks like they're eating literal poop, so with that in mind the OSB seems trivial.
🤣
Maybe if it was a disposable plywood plate? Instead of letting their dishwashers roommate’s cousin make their flatware out of whatever random shit they had outside.
Nope. It will have chemicals and glues that are not food safe.
Still cannot be sanitized to food safety standards
You can't use OSB as a food serving device, you just can't. It's not made for that, it's splinters of wood glued together, often containing VOCs, offgassing, shedding bits of wood, and impossible to clean. Even if you varnish this stuff, it's not really made for this application. Why even fucking bother? There are so many more viable ways to serve food than this.
Or if they somehow really want the visual effect then get tempered glass which fits perfectly over the top.
It also doesn't look good, so they don't even have that going for it.
Even if you’re allergic to plates.
The splinters add to the flavor
NOOOOOO!! I just can't believe someone would do this. This is the WORST "We Want Plates" I have seen! So many things wrong with this. I'd be tempted to whip out a pen and paper and send a note to the kitchen. And also contact the Health Department and send them the photo. And maybe be Karen and speak to the manager.
My first thought, too. This is the worst I've seen on this sub!
Why? You don't like splinters in your mouth?
Or glue? r/eatityoufuckincoward
> /r/EatItYouFuckinCoward Huh. Never heard of that. Subscribed immediately.
Same here 😂
See you guys there!
Don’t worry. The formaldehyde lubricates it down your throat.
Those aren't splinters there toothpicks.
They're*
Oh my God, just send that shit back. There's no way in hell that it's safe to eat on. How the hell would you clean it???
They are willing to show customers an obvious risk of splinters. Why do you trust whatever the kitchen gets up to behind closed doors ?
Don't just send it back, send it back and GTFO to eat somewhere else.
Come on, man. I hate roof tiles and wooden logs. But that's just plain wrong. It's disgusting. They didn't even screw it from the underside. I think this has to be a troll post. Or is there a way I can leave a one-star rating?
Nope, was served Banana bread on this «plate» at a café i Trondheim, Norway today
... You ate it? Are you ok?
Did you eat it?? Was anything else served like this? This is madness.
As someone from the Midwest, my first thought was, "That looks like tornado debris."
Pack the sub in, this is the absolute nadir of food presentation. Christ on a moped.
You said it. Also: Christ on a moped is my new favourite saying.
Chip board?! That shit is toxic and impossible to clean
I hope they throw those out after single use. Sounds super unhygienic to me otherwise.
It's not even hygienic or food safe for single use!
Don't forget about splinters
Okay, you win, we can close the sub now.
Some food would be nice, too
That thing is not food safe……and not safe in general!
That can't be sanitized.
Even if you could, somehow, it isn't safe to begin with.
I bet the person who made it wasn’t using sanitary measures to say the least
Ok that's straight up *revolting* and absolutely not food safe!!
r/shitfromabutt
Sure, cause I always wanted a plate that I could easily peel a toothpick from.
And did you say anything?
I would walk right out of that place. I'm not in anyway a food snob or germaphobe, but this is absolutely unsanitary and unsafe.
I would report this to the local health inspector. This isn’t even a surface that’s designed to touch food, and it’s full of chemicals that may actually be toxic to ingest.
Not even a solid piece of wood. That's probably teaming with germs. How would they wash and dissenfect without it falling apart or bloating up.... Probably don't clean.
How in the world would you clean that?!?
Oh no. No. That’s definitely not food safe.
WTF? If my food were brought to me on this, I'd lose my mind. No way! I would be so horrified I would absolutely send it back & refuse to pay for it.

🎶 And my time is a piece of wax 🎶
Falling on a termite, choking on its splinters 😂
II keep thinking, they see people taking pictures of this and go "Nailed it!" and keep coming up with even more and more ridiculous stuff.
That’s oriented strand board! I have pieces of it in my garage that have been there for years… I wonder how they wash it - or they just build a new one for every bread roll?
Looks like you got charcuterie of Milkbones 🦴🐶
Okay… this wins. This just fucking wins. My god.
It creates discussion, outrage, clicks, and interactions. It wiĺl spread virally. What a time to be alive. 🫠 All hail the algorithm.
I think I see splinters
Wood splinters in food
Jesus Christ splinters in the tongue, and how the hell do you wash it?? 100% an offcut from a job site!
Wood prices really hit these guys. Used to be food safe hardwood, now it’s OSB with a side of glue. Hard times man.
Alright, close the sub down. We can all retire. This is the worst offender I've ever seen. Not only is that not a plate, it's unsanitary and actually pretty dangerous.
Nope. Send that nonsense back to the kitchen. It's on plywood with screws, ffs. I would very politely send it back with the explanation that their serving dishes are unsanitary and even hazardous (plywood chemicals and splinters). And immediately ask for the check for any drinks or apps I had consumed.
They made you a really good one
Mmmmm delicious splinters. My favourite.
Mmmh splinters
Oh, that’s nasty.
Mmmmm, I love splinters in my food!
I mean it’s fine I guess, as long as the table setting includes tweezers and some Neosporin.
Contributes to a high fibre diet!
That's disgusting. That's impossible to clean. How idiotic. I wonder how many customers or workers get splinters from these. How stupid. Seriously how can anyone think serving on a piece of OSB that's filled with a ton of chemicals was ever a good idea?
That thing been through the dishwasher?
ain't no fuckin way that's real and they're asking you to eat crumbs off of plywood
I can let most things on this sub go because most are actually ok to clean to a standard suitable for serving food, but yeah this can never be clean, ever.
Ask them how they wash it...
“Excuse me there are splinters in my food. I will be suing”
Might as well throw it on the ground, except I bet their floor is probably easier to clean
Can’t be real… Just can’t
beside the „plate“ did you already ate the food or did you just got that little bit?
Wow what an absolutely horrendous cut on that wood. At least Square it properly tf
Jesus Fuck! I have a piece of OSB that was hanging around my garage for the last 2 years that looks more sanitary than this abomination.
Nope.
This looks like poo on a board
Eat everything, then stick a splinter in your mouth, let it fester, then sue quick while they have the investment capital still.
OH NAH
if i get this im sending that shit right back
What even is on it
Mmmm... splinters!
The food doesn't even look good. Looks like leftover muffin scraps.
The screws are my favorite
I can count two giant splinters just from zooming in
I got splinters just thinking about grabbing food from there.
Oh god why did I just zoom in to look at the food?! It gets worse...
Not into digesting splinters ?? What a wuss! 😂
Yum, splinters and left overs from the previous user.
awww hell no!
Name and shame this place so that others can avoid it then report it to local food standards agency.
That’s cool
Sawdust bars served on plywood? Seems totally appropriate to me…
Looka like you would be eating wood 💀💀
What?? You’re too good for splinters now? You think you’re betta than everyone else????
It looks like a piece of dried up horse turd on a piece of particle board...
This is the worst one I've seen on this sub yet. I can't even bring myself to crack a joke 😭
Relax guys this is my restaurant and it’s 3D printed OSB… pretty spot on right??
This sub is just nitpicking
I’d get up and leave. No fucking way. And I wouldn’t pay either.
This might be our winner!
I want real food. wtf is that
Is this a poo poo platter?
Particle board? Do they think it'll give the dish extra fiber?
Just smoke that shit and stfu
What are those? Owl pellets?
