Platter (dinner)

Platter (dinner)

(Whatever) in a basket, (whatever) platter or (whatever) with fries is a restaurant menu term that refers to a sandwich or other main-dish entrée that is served on top of a basket of an accompanying foodstuff, usually french fries. The "basket" is usually either made of plastic and lined with paper, or is simply a disposable paperboard box or tray. Sometimes the basket contains other side dishes as well, such as a container of cole slaw or a pickle. This term seems to be most common in the Midwestern U.S.. It was a common "pub" item some years ago when "chicken in a basket" was a favourite in the UK, but has now fallen from popularity. The Mill pub located Withington is locally credited with creating the "chicken in a basket" dish [cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire/7587978.stm| title=Feathers fly over pub meal's exit | date=29 August 2008 | accessdate=2008-08-29| publisher=BBC News] . Chips were the usual accompaniment.
