The Devil Sips Martinis

I was once served ceviche in a martini glass. The ceviche was good -- clean, fresh, the martini glass, confusing. Was I supposed to drink it? Or worse, spill it? We wonder, though, do people even use these anymore? Yes, yes they do.

I was once served ceviche in a martini glass. The ceviche was good -- clean, fresh, the martini glass, confusing. Was I supposed to drink it? Or worse, spill it? We wonder, though, do people even use these anymore? Yes, yes they do.

Case in point: a nameless editor here at Food52 was very recently served a cocktail in one of the blasted glasses, at a (nameless) popular restaurant in Manhattan. (Names withheld to protect parties involved.) Bon Appetit confirms my suspicion: “the glass was invented by the devil himself.”

Catch more of the rant here, but we want to know: do you share an opposition for the glass, or are you a Martini purist?
