Some time ago I read advice online to serve holiday meals on disposable plates to save time on washing the dishes. Some people even claimed that everyone is doing it nowadays. Personally I have never encountered it outside some big birthday parties, so I thought it an exaggeration but then I watched a YouTube video where somebody served Christmas dinner on disposable plastic plates.
I mean whatever. Is anyone really doing it? I always use my best china for this occasion. What about you?
We serve our holiday dinners on china, and every other dinner on glass plates. When we have a very large gathering (which happens occasionally), we do use plastic, but we try to buy something that looks nice.

Yeah, my opinion exactly!
ReplyDeleteNo. Nonono. No. And I don't cover the tablecloth with clear plastic. Ever.
ReplyDeleteMe neither, I always have the real thing. You just launder it afterwards:)
ReplyDeleteSeriously? People actually do this? I'm gobsmacked. But, considering how people dress out in public now, I'm not completely surprised.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, either!
ReplyDeleteWe use plastic plates for family parties as we have close to 30 people attending, but we use real cutlery.
