Do you eat with your eyes first?

  • We all need food every day, but I wanted to start a thread that's a bit different. I'm not going to ask what your favourite meal is!

    Instead, I'm curious about the visual side of food. What's your opinion on food presentation?

    To get us started, I'll share my own thoughts. I would never complain if a meal was messy, as long as it tasted good. However, I do find that I enjoy a meal more when it looks appealing. Even a simple sandwich feels a bit more special if it's cut nicely and arranged on the plate, rather than just thrown down.

    So, what about you? Do you find that a beautiful, well presented plate is more appealing? Do you think it actually makes the food taste better? Or do you not care at all about how it looks, as long as it's delicious?

    Exactly how I look at it as well. When in a restaurant, getting a plate with a good presentation of the food can make it feel more special. To me, that shows the chef who prepared it, takes pride in their job.

  • Thats why i really dislike the Dutch kitchen, all so inspireless, no taste, no appetite to eat this.

    There is no love in the Dutch Cooking.

    Gladly we do not eat Dutch food here in our family.
