I bet it's delicious. It would be stupid to get all your meals in Small Plate form but ain't nothing wrong with eating it every once in a while.

I just think they're particularly bad for sharing with other people. Get your own loving arancini; I can't even taste it if I eat a quarter a spoonful.

I picture a bunch of friends all with half a spoonful of food. They eat it and force a smile as they each put $40 down to pay for the tab. Everyone too angry to admit they just paid $40 for an 8th of a meal.

When you consider 15 euros buys you approximately three bites of food with some sauce brushed on the plate...

All systems nominal.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that a small amount of food is somehow easier to share among friends than a large amount of food. Being able to share a greater variety of food without a ton of it left over -- that's a slightly more valid argument. Which is why I do enjoy tapas from time to time.

Because tiny ripoff plates are the only possible way to eat good food. Jesus people just love to defend the latest lovely food trends if they think it makes them 'cooler' than someone else.

That's not a new trend, and tasting menus at top tier restaurants are really the best way to experience them.

A) I dig those.
B) What sort of laces should chukkas have? Do you mean they shouldn't have dress shoe laces, shouldn't have functional laces, or something else?

I bet the food is pretty awesome, but I wouldn't plan on sharing any of it. I would get way too into it to have a bite or two and then move on.

Yep they are the Timberland Wodehouse Chukka. Timberland isn't really known for high-end dressy boots but gently caress it, they are quality.

I think to be a 'chukka' the laces should not be functional, so the boot is like a slip on. But I am not sure.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but that's news to me. The laces are definitely necessary on the ones I own and others I've tried on. Regional difference, maybe?

Pretty much this. The past two pages make me want to make "lol americans are fat" jokes.

The whole point of eating tapas is that you get to experience a lot of variety. If I'm going in a fancy restaurant I'd much rather try 3-5 things than get one big plate of something. In most places I've been (which isn't a lot) 3-4 plates is enough for a normal human being. may be 5 if you're a fat guy that need to eat two big macs to feel full.

The only experience I have are clarks desert boot and they come with regular laces.

I've been wanting to do a bunch of custom repaints and kitbashes for a while, and I had some extra cash from a paycheck bonus so I went whole hog. Got the whole batch for way less than Amazon prices thanks to folks liquidating their stock though, saved about 200 bucks in total.

It's almost like contract workers have widely varying pay grades or something that can change from season to season! Amazing!

Edit: To not come off like a total rear end though, this is the off season for me, and it's down to bare minimum work wages, so I have cut down all expenses to zero. Other times, I can afford to live nicely and save up for the inevitable car explosion or whatever happens.

I'm still curious to hear how one meal from that posted menu corresponds to your monthly food budget given that 5 plates is 19.95 GBP = about 30,50 US dollars or 27 euros, rounded up. Do you live in rural Cambodia?
