If I wanted to waste money eating decorations, I would go to Garden Ridge.

What's up with all this decorative stuff on plates at the fancy restaurants ?
People like you should stick to McDonald's. Those edible items are called garnishes. They decorate the plate and make the food look more appetizing. Obviously, the effort is wasted on you.
Reply:to make it look more expensive...it can get ridiculous,,,sometimes it looks like pot poury...it doesnt look edible at all....hahahaha....
Reply:Restaurants put up designs and decorations to first attract you to want to eat there, but just long enough, so that you'll be subsconciously tired of the designs and want to leave. This is an attempt to turn tables quickly and make more money
Reply:You are correct - the extra stuff is superfluous.
Reply:Come to think of , that stuff costs you about 20 bucks extra a plate...do I really need it?NO


Do I want it?Hell no..


Take it off and give me a cheaper meal, I say.
Reply:Try to get to the de cor of the issue. I went to a restaurant with a date that was really into black enamel with gold leaf trim. Everything was beautiful but the Nouvelle Cuisine portions were so meager that I think I was hungrier when I left than when I arrived. I was tempted to take a bite or two out of the table cloth. Ambience only goes so far when you are hungry.( I meant the restaurant was really in to black enamel, not the date)
Reply:It's just foo foo goo. Skip it and eat the silverware instead. Could I have your bun?!
Reply:do you know what is the difference between pu$$y and parsley?
Reply:You're just showing off because you eat at fancy resteraunts. The closest I get to that is drawing on my happy meal box with a crayon!
Reply:I agree with notyou311. Stick with the 'fast food' places.
Reply:ITS CALLED GARNISH. AND IT'S PART OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE PLATE. IT'S ALSO CALLED CLASS. MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. SO GO TO MACDONALD'S!
Reply:More attractions....
Reply:It is called a garnish and is meant to make the meal more appealing and appetizing
Reply:Its probably semen stains
Reply:I would please to carve sparrow three hours from turnip if impression for this work was appreciation. You accuse them as money eating decorations but they do not digest or eat money. They are but merely to sing from plate for your vast amusing. Do you not sense this in efforts of fancy decoration?
