I am now panicked and confused because I am Irish and living in Australia but everyone takes it off the tray in Australia too, especially in IKEA. So did we influence the Aussies in a good way or a bad way ????? I mean it started as a Prison so you would think that the trays would be dominant......................
In the UK noone eats on trays, because they are never flat so the whoke thing wobbles if you try and eat on it. Must be a US thing where trays are better quality!
We usually just lean the trays against the side of one of the chairs. Then almost trip over them on the way out or they all clatter to the ground when we move the chairs 😂😂
Been at carverys all over Ireland. All the same format. Choose one meat, then choose two veg to go with your mash. Ask for bit more from tight "chef" Only recently went to an English carvery in London. You had could have two different meats (like Turkey and beef on the one plate, WTF is that like) then they handed you the plate to load up as much veg as you could carry. Saw fellas needing help lifting their plates to the table. It was pure decadence.
That's the point in a carvery isn't it? All 3 meats then as much roast taters and cauliflower cheese that you can eat. And you can go back as many times as you want, but not to the meat bit. Never knew it was different in Ireland!
If you ever went to an American buffet, your heads would explode. All you can eat (INCLUDING MEATS) with no limits, plus free drink refills. Just be careful of the professional grazers, the 30-stone behemoths riding electric scooters who bring two trays at a time and roar at you if you so much as look at the crab legs.
Lads I'm six for four and like me grub , Toby carvery I fill the plate like a military exercise plus I go back for more .. I smash the breakfast too which is,all you can eat so I've come out needing a push because I can't move properly
When I had a shoulder op I got a tray that adapted to my legs with little polystyrene balls to help. My parents laughed... for a few days. Then they bought their own!
When in a typical American High School cafeteria nothing leaves the tray since it is like prison, nobody had a lesson from the family, it was schooling.
I never thought about it like this before. I can vividly remember times when I was little when we had a tray but the tray in the table when nearly the same size, and they could be two or three trays, so you just stack it on the table next to you that no one else is using. Never considered it strange until now lmao. I don’t even leave my food on the tray at McDonald’s
I always take the food off the tray, and stand the tray on the right hand side of my table , preferably standing or leaning against my seat. When finished I pile all the dishes back onto the tray and leave the tray on the bar counter, whare The glasses of water used to be 😂😂😂😂😂😂☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bishop is an Irish-American comedian. He was brought up in New York but moved to Ireland at the age of 14. He did 2 shows for RTE Irish TV where he learned Irish and he was brilliant I am Irish and I could not speak Irish as good as him he also did a show where he went to China and he learned Chinese and he was brilliant at that he was I think a year there the goal as he had to do a Comedy show all in Chinese and he nailed it.It was called Des Bishop: Breaking China here is Episode 1 ua-cam.com/video/QI9O8kJ80CI/v-deo.html
I'm from Yorkshire but most of my older family was from Ireland and I've never in my life eaten food still on a tray it's for transporting your food not for eating on
Trays are a pain in the hole. Still though, it’s nice to have non Melted fingers when you reach the table. ‘Careful now, it’s hot’ - no fkn kidding. Hotter than lava.
Irish living in USA and my wife(American) heard this set and just laughed out loud saying “ now I know why you’re freaked out at Mission BBQ”. they serve their food on wax paper directly on small metal trays.
American here. It's all about the feel of the eatery. In a crappy place like McDonald's or some local greasy spoon we tend to leave it on the tray. If it's a nicer place we take it off. I'm sorry if Americans eat off the tray at your favorite carvery :-(
I'm American and yes I eat on the tray. I always looked at it as a great way to keep all your food in one place and not dirty the table too bad for the wait staff.
In the Studio with Michele Webber what dya mean you ‘can’? As in when the plates are on the tray you just pick up your fork and knife and go at it, but sure that’s only for the savages
I'm English, I've never used a tray, in fact no one at our carvery of choice does either. We just return to the table with a mound of food on the plate, much of which shouldn't logically mix but with a couple of pints inside seems to. A couple of years back, they gave a fish 'n' chips option to the carvery, with a mix n' match condiments section. Since then I've regularly had my regular meat 'n' veg covered in gravy, mint sauce, mushy peas and curry. I do leave aside the baked beans though, as much as I like them I don't think they'd go well with the other stuff.
@@Desbishopcomedy Cheers for getting back to me - a direct reply from a star, I'm impressed - but my actual point was about the fact that I have never even thought to use a tray. In fact I think you could mine more comedic material if you watch the way we just stack food on one plate.
You’re not the only ones Ireland, we Brits share this one with you. Never ever eat off the tray, especially at a carvery. My mum always said it was “common” to eat off the tray. You have to take it all off and then put the tray on an empty table.
I guessed someone was Irish just by their luggage, the swedish girl in my room at the hostel said you can't know that, that luggage is available everywhere. They had woollen gaa plaits just like me, obviously given to them by their father, just like me 😅😅, "you know you can't be letting them foreigners take your bag, you need to identify it" Irish dads everywhere 😅
I hate it too, it's like let's go out for dinner but we are going to get stuff they ate 150 or more years ago. I'd rather starve myself all day and get a 5euro chicken kebab. The food is shite, the gravy has the most flavor. Fuck that
At this point I don’t know if it’s genetic or if we just know that we’ll get a clip round the ear for being so grotesque as to leave your food on the tray 😅
You cant trust a tray, you don't know where it's been, on the other hand fast food places put a sheet of clean paper on the tray and I spill me chips onto it.
My family came from Clare and settled in what was then Upper Canada in 1829. I would never THINK to remove items from the tray- you'd just have to put it all back on when you were finished anyway, at least in any cafeteria I've ever eaten in over the last 58 years. Or maybe it's just that some things are ingrained genetically, like yelling, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!" at the top of your lungs when you stub your toe or hit a finger with a hammer. Or the occasional ommision of Mary and Joseph, especially if the impact on the toe or finger was particularly forceful...nevertheless, there must always be three expletives, like the leaves of the shamrock.
Cafeterias are different because nobody is clearing the tables. I n Ireland we keep the tray in a cafeteria. In Ireland, the carvery is usually in the lounge of a pub, so there are staff to clear and reset the tables.
Why remove food from a dirty tray onto a dirty table? It also helps the wait staff in cleaning up if, when the meal is completed the dirty dishes, can be transported on the serving/eating tray.
I have no idea what a "carvery" is, but if your food comes on a tray, regardless of whether you leave it out take it off, you are not in a restaurant at all. You're in an airplane or a public school.
I'm Irish American (from USA living in Ireland) and I stopped eating off trays after high school; loathe it. I agree, eating off trays is "common". HA, ha! I saw what Des did there about the Irish leaving dirty dishes behind; I remember him flipping out at a native when he had his first series and worked in ?SuperMacs.
Why would you eat your food off a tray!? A tray is only used for transporting the food. It's bad manners to sit with your food on a tray and eat it off the tray. It's uncivilised and impossible to relax and enjoy your food if it's all crammed onto a tray. That's ridiculous. I've never seen any one in any country sit and eat food off a tray! Maybe it's just Americans?!
At least in the states, the kind of places that use trays are not exactly relax and enjoy your food kind of establishments. They are more the jam cheap food in your face quickly and go back to whatever you were doing kinda places. Also the trays are always clean while the tables _might_ be cleanish since the whole point of the tray is to minimize cleaning tables/hiring waitstaff.
I lived in America most of my life and always took the food from the tray. I've lived in Ireland for 14 years and the most notable difference is that the Irish leave their food wrapping, containers, and leftovers on the table instead of putting them in the waste bin.
Interesting fact: Bacon in Ireland is actually what Americans call Canadian Bacon. I have no idea why they call it this, nor does any other Canadian alive, mostly because we don't call it Canadian Bacon; we call it back bacon or ham. Americans are weird. It's not easy to eat off a plate that's on a tray. From what I remember from the last carvery I was at, they don't have trays. You go and get two plates. You fill one plate full of things you want covered in gravy and one plate you fill with things you don't want covered in gravy. A carvery in Canada is usually similar to a buffet (instead someone is carving meat). These are also all you can eat. The last time I went to one it was $40 CAD (approx 27 Euros). Granted, that was 4 years ago and I'm pretty sure the price has skyrocketed since then.
@@pandoratonks4429 I'm sure there are cheaper less informal ones but it's usually a wee bit more formal than a pub carvery. But everything is expensive in Canada. I was in Dublin for two years and hadn't been back to Canada in that time. After I got back I stopped by the store on my way home from the airport for some food and nearly had a stroke at the cost of it. Then I went to the liquor store and nearly stroked out at the price of beer!
Depends in Ireland where you are, in louth we called it a ham and rashers are bacon but then again my parents are from the north and we called our kitchen a scullery when we were younger. Who knows lol.
@Fino Menezes Over 135 years ago Samuel Bath Thomas, an innovator and entrepreneur, created the Original “Nooks & Crannies” English Muffin after moving from England to the United States. He used a secret process that included griddle baking to create a muffin that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I'm confused I'm English & I always take it off the tray, most people in cumbria take it off the tray, mind you there is a lot of Irish ancestry around here, sure even one of the towns is known as wee Ireland 😂😂😂
@@kierancunningham8690 it's a place called Cleator Moor, there are Irish names all over this area, but it got nicknamed Wee Ireland as that's where many Catholic Irish were rehoused that migrated to here during the troubles. When I moved over to Lurgan in Co Armagh, I soon realised where a lot of 'local' sayings must have come from as well 😂😂😂😍😍😍
@@kierancunningham8690 even more interesting than realised, it's had a large Irish population since 1800s I found this 😁 It may be that the Irish Famine prompted some increased migration to the town but links between West Cumbria and the northern counties of Ireland had been established before this time. Labourers crossed to work the harvest and, more permanently, take jobs in the mines and ports long before the Famine often prompted by the constant sub-division of farmland among children. From the 1850s to the 1880s, the population expanded rapidly as rich veins of haematite were exploited. From a settlement of 763 in 1841, Cleator Moor grew to house 10,420 souls by 1871, thirty-six percent of whom were Irish. As Donald MacRaild writes, "...formative economic developments, urban growth and the mass arrival of the Irish, took place entirely in years beyond the Famine."[3] The Irish in Cleator Moor were predominantly Roman Catholic but the general influx into the mines and industry of West Cumbria also brought others of a different persuasion from the same country and with them a particular sectarianism to add to the anti-Catholicism of Victorian England. During the late 1860s the Irish Protestant preacher William Murphy led anti-Catholic meetings throughout the country inciting mobs to attack Catholic targets. Near Chelmsford in Essex they burnt down a Catholic convent. In May, 1868, two chapels a school and over one hundred houses and shops in Ashton-under-Lyme were ransacked. This led to the Catholic populations defending themselves and their buildings and when Murphy visited Whitehaven in April, 1871, the Catholic iron ore miners of Cleator Moor were determined to confront him. The local authorities requested Murphy and his Orange Order backers to cancel his talks but they would not. He was heckled and threatened at the first meeting in the Oddfellows Hall, Whitehaven and eventually had to be escorted from the place. The following evening there was more concerted opposition as 200 - 300 Cleator Moor miners marched to the Hall and assaulted Murphy before the meeting began. Five men were sentenced for the attack. Murphy died in March 1872 and his death was attributed to the injuries he had received in Whitehaven. Disturbances in the area were regular during the years that followed particularly when Orangemen assembled on the 12th July and on that date in 1884, the most serious of them occurred. That was the year the local Orange Lodges decided to hold their annual gathering at Cleator Moor, a deliberately provocative move: "as if to court disturbance the Orangemen... decided they would this year hold their annual demonstration in the stronghold of the enemy"[4] The marchers including eight bands paraded past the Catholic church and held their assembly at Wath Brow. As the gathering broke up and the Orangemen made their way back to the train station, trouble broke out. They were attacked by groups of local men throwing stones and then rushing them. Some of the marchers carried revolvers, cutlasses and pikes which they now used. A local postal messenger, Henry Tumelty, a 17-year-old Catholic was shot in the head and killed while others were listed as having received injuries from these weapons. The local Catholic priests defended their parishioners saying they had been provoked beyond measure by the foul sectarian tunes and the weaponry. Fr. Wray expressed serious regret: "It has thrown us back at least twenty years."[5]
American vs Irish going to the carvery. American: WTF is a carvery?! But seriously, what's a carvery? A buffet? Mall food court? Eating at the butchers?
@@audience2 A buffet without eating as much as I want? As an American and a Polynesian I can't understand this system. :) But, thank you for your reply...…….Also knowing that makes this bit way more funny.
It's not like we Americans eat directly off the grungy tray...we are eating off freaking plates that are sitting on the tray! What's the big deal? The tables are often no cleaner than the tray, so why is it better to take your food off the tray and put it on the table? 😛
People eat stuff on the tray? I've never eaten food on a tray and have always taken the food off the trays so this guy is confusing to me when he says only Irish people do it when I know they do it in the UK, Germany, France and Italy at least.
What kind of savage doesn't take his food off a tray?!? It's things like that that separates us from the animals

I lived in America most of my life and always took the food from the tray. I've lived in Ireland for 14 years and the most notable difference is that the Irish leave their food wrapping, containers, and leftovers on the table instead of putting them in the waste bin.
Interesting fact: Bacon in Ireland is actually what Americans call Canadian Bacon. I have no idea why they call it this, nor does any other Canadian alive, mostly because we don't call it Canadian Bacon; we call it back bacon or ham. Americans are weird.
It's not easy to eat off a plate that's on a tray. From what I remember from the last carvery I was at, they don't have trays. You go and get two plates. You fill one plate full of things you want covered in gravy and one plate you fill with things you don't want covered in gravy. A carvery in Canada is usually similar to a buffet (instead someone is carving meat). These are also all you can eat. The last time I went to one it was $40 CAD (approx 27 Euros). Granted, that was 4 years ago and I'm pretty sure the price has skyrocketed since then.
$40!?!? Woah! In England, we have carveries that are £15/16, but lots of cheap ones too. A pub near me does them for £6/7, depending on size.
@@pandoratonks4429 I'm sure there are cheaper less informal ones but it's usually a wee bit more formal than a pub carvery. But everything is expensive in Canada. I was in Dublin for two years and hadn't been back to Canada in that time. After I got back I stopped by the store on my way home from the airport for some food and nearly had a stroke at the cost of it. Then I went to the liquor store and nearly stroked out at the price of beer!
Depends in Ireland where you are, in louth we called it a ham and rashers are bacon but then again my parents are from the north and we called our kitchen a scullery when we were younger. Who knows lol.
@Fino Menezes Over 135 years ago Samuel Bath Thomas, an innovator and entrepreneur, created the Original “Nooks & Crannies” English Muffin after moving from England to the United States. He used a secret process that included griddle baking to create a muffin that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
You went to an all you can eat carvery 4 years ago and your still stuffed.
Observational Comedy at its very best.. I will never take my food off the tray again..
His observations on the Irish and immersions were funnier.
Was about to say I am English and I take my food off the tray. But then remembered my grandparents are Irish so was prob a thing passed down
Brilliant Des
I'm confused I'm English & I always take it off the tray, most people in cumbria take it off the tray, mind you there is a lot of Irish ancestry around here, sure even one of the towns is known as wee Ireland 😂😂😂
Fuck off with your wee ireland
Curious. Which town Lindsey ?
@@kierancunningham8690 it's a place called Cleator Moor, there are Irish names all over this area, but it got nicknamed Wee Ireland as that's where many Catholic Irish were rehoused that migrated to here during the troubles. When I moved over to Lurgan in Co Armagh, I soon realised where a lot of 'local' sayings must have come from as well 😂😂😂😍😍😍
@@ciaranlynch2128 last time I heard that I was going through a die hard loyalist area on a peace III course 😜😜😂😂
@@kierancunningham8690 even more interesting than realised, it's had a large Irish population since 1800s
I found this 😁
It may be that the Irish Famine prompted some increased migration to the town but links between West Cumbria and the northern counties of Ireland had been established before this time. Labourers crossed to work the harvest and, more permanently, take jobs in the mines and ports long before the Famine often prompted by the constant sub-division of farmland among children. From the 1850s to the 1880s, the population expanded rapidly as rich veins of haematite were exploited. From a settlement of 763 in 1841, Cleator Moor grew to house 10,420 souls by 1871, thirty-six percent of whom were Irish. As Donald MacRaild writes, "...formative economic developments, urban growth and the mass arrival of the Irish, took place entirely in years beyond the Famine."[3] The Irish in Cleator Moor were predominantly Roman Catholic but the general influx into the mines and industry of West Cumbria also brought others of a different persuasion from the same country and with them a particular sectarianism to add to the anti-Catholicism of Victorian England.
During the late 1860s the Irish Protestant preacher William Murphy led anti-Catholic meetings throughout the country inciting mobs to attack Catholic targets. Near Chelmsford in Essex they burnt down a Catholic convent. In May, 1868, two chapels a school and over one hundred houses and shops in Ashton-under-Lyme were ransacked. This led to the Catholic populations defending themselves and their buildings and when Murphy visited Whitehaven in April, 1871, the Catholic iron ore miners of Cleator Moor were determined to confront him. The local authorities requested Murphy and his Orange Order backers to cancel his talks but they would not. He was heckled and threatened at the first meeting in the Oddfellows Hall, Whitehaven and eventually had to be escorted from the place. The following evening there was more concerted opposition as 200 - 300 Cleator Moor miners marched to the Hall and assaulted Murphy before the meeting began. Five men were sentenced for the attack. Murphy died in March 1872 and his death was attributed to the injuries he had received in Whitehaven. Disturbances in the area were regular during the years that followed particularly when Orangemen assembled on the 12th July and on that date in 1884, the most serious of them occurred. That was the year the local Orange Lodges decided to hold their annual gathering at Cleator Moor, a deliberately provocative move: "as if to court disturbance the Orangemen... decided they would this year hold their annual demonstration in the stronghold of the enemy"[4] The marchers including eight bands paraded past the Catholic church and held their assembly at Wath Brow. As the gathering broke up and the Orangemen made their way back to the train station, trouble broke out. They were attacked by groups of local men throwing stones and then rushing them. Some of the marchers carried revolvers, cutlasses and pikes which they now used. A local postal messenger, Henry Tumelty, a 17-year-old Catholic was shot in the head and killed while others were listed as having received injuries from these weapons. The local Catholic priests defended their parishioners saying they had been provoked beyond measure by the foul sectarian tunes and the weaponry. Fr. Wray expressed serious regret: "It has thrown us back at least twenty years."[5]
Was this a fake show? Couldn't help noticed the candid laughter and scenes?
I'm Australian and I /
we do the same. Perhaps its our Irish ancestry :)
Irish people would be too tight to buy the coke they’d just get a glass of water
Laughing at your comment because its TRUE
My hubby always gets a pint of milk and the rest of us would get a coke.
Haha yes. Irish carvery = big plate of stodge + pint of tap water with optional shot of miwadi!
@@rivolinho ah yeah, a jug of diluted for the table lol
Wait so you’re supposed to eat with the trays???!!!???
I work in a restaurant in Ireland and this is very true. Lol
Lol.. god, 😂so funny cos it's so true.
Once I rebelled. I served tea TO COMPANY- *straight from the kettle* ! 😱 #IrishCulinaryMonster
this guy looks eerliy like Bill Burr in the face.even his expressions are alike. do irish people look so alike just by chance ? xD
Des Bishop is an American,he has lived in Ireland for a long time though.☘
55 years old and this is the first time I even heard the word “carvery.”
American vs Irish going to the carvery. American: WTF is a carvery?! But seriously, what's a carvery? A buffet? Mall food court? Eating at the butchers?
It is like a restricted buffet where the cook slips the food onto your plate for you and you can't come back for free second helpings.
@@audience2 A buffet without eating as much as I want? As an American and a Polynesian I can't understand this system. :) But, thank you for your reply...…….Also knowing that makes this bit way more funny.
I thought it was normal to take it off the tray
Is this guy doing an impression of bill bur?
Carvery and canteen are very different situations!
It's not like we Americans eat directly off the grungy tray...we are eating off freaking plates that are sitting on the tray! What's the big deal? The tables are often no cleaner than the tray, so why is it better to take your food off the tray and put it on the table? 😛
People eat stuff on the tray? I've never eaten food on a tray and have always taken the food off the trays so this guy is confusing to me when he says only Irish people do it when I know they do it in the UK, Germany, France and Italy at least.
I too have noticed things in certain situations
Better than the whole clip
I used to hate carvery food as a child. Nothing was more disappointing than walking into a restaurant/pub and finding out it was carvery uhhh so dull
