that's a fair position to hold, but inspectors may not see that requirement. some restaurants serve hand-washing bowls that definitely aren't ok to eat from due to the soap. some places have ash trays. maybe it's gross to some, but it's not necessarily a problem
I would say, those are about the contents of the bowl not the condition of it whereas this is definitely the bowls condition itself that is concerning. An ashtray or a handwashing bowl can be cleaned, but this is just degraded.
Rust is not dangerous at all, a form of iron oxide even is deliberately added to cereal as iron fortification, you can pull the tiny chunks out of the wet cereal with a magnet.
Tbh it’s probably delicious food. It’s got an actual tablecloth and silverware so if they feel free to put that on the table they dgaf bc they know everyone’s coming back regardless lol.
Wait you can't get enameled bowls where you're at? They went through a whole Renaissance in the last decade in Europe it seems, no idea if they are different from what our grandparents used tho.. OP's looks like it went through the dishwasher a couple times 😐
this should not be used anywhere near the preperation of human food consumption
Or pet food consumption
On the one hand, as a discard bowl it's not exactly as agregious as it could be.
On the other hand, just use a normal bowl
Because you ordered Langoustine ala Septicaemia.
Shouldn't be used as it can be used to eat from.
well, as a "discard bowl" a restaurant could argue that it's effectively a trash can.
I would argue that nothing which touches the table can be non-food-safe

Wait what? That is a wild take.
So, no candles on the table? No vase of flowers? No menus? No center pieces? No napkins?
None of those are considered food safe.

I'm sure the flakes of coating are okay to ingest too
Safety or not, I find it hard to believe the health inspector would like rusty dishes on the table.
No it's not, what are you talking about? That's ferrous sulfate, FeSO₄ which is quite distinct from FeO₃
Something designed to be ingested is very different than a rusty bowl flaking off material never to be ingested.
Rustíć

Oh absolutely. This place is a staple so no one is getting all that mad.
I figured lol. I would like to eat there right now but alas I am snowed in at a small town in Ohio so no seafood for me 😂
I don't see any lit candles, though. We all know its a fancy restaurant if there a let candle on the table.
Enamel ware plus oxidation.
Yes I understand the factual reason, more asking why a restaurant would choose to bring us a bowl that’s so rusty
Is that a note from Beetlecat the fursuit maker?
It’s the name of the restaurant, in ATL, GA, USA
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!!
The spoon threw me off
The reflection of the lights was the first thing I saw!
I thought they stopped selling plates like these in the 90s. This is a serious health violation.

I just checked and they sell them online; however, I have never seen them in stores.
It's called "taste throug patina". Kids love it
We don't want these plates ffs
r/WeDONTWantPlates
Because the enamel wore off
Wtf.
