Hasn't it been beaten to death yet? Everywhere you look, the most hyped movie of the summer that stars Samuel L. Jackson has infiltrated our language so that all we can say is "[something] on a [something]." Even here at Slashfood, we've had Snakes on a Cake, and Snakes on Some Toast. Both were cute, but you know, not as frightening as real snakes on a real plane, right?
But Deep End Dining's Eddie Lin has really done it on his blog, which, unlike other mini-spoofs, are real snakes on something that sounds about as close to "plane" as you can get - a plate. Phong Dinh Restaurant in Rosemead, CA put the snakes on the plate, and Eddie ate them. Granted, he was disappointed that the snake meat was ground and wrapped in leaves, but the restaurant redeemed itself by also presenting him with whole eels on a plate. Close enough.
See Eddie's post for the details of his encounter with snakes on a plate.
