I was wondering why someone mowed the lawn and then put two pats of butter on it

Or the MKR judges.

I love those shows and normally I have heard them say that as a general rule, if it is on the plate, it should be edible.

I was relieved actually to see it wasn't just me and that others here weren't impressed by the plating.😁

Especially countess as I know she is a bit of a gourmet cook.

I have never had the experience of dining out for a $400 meal. I like artichokes, in fact I made an artichoke, spinach & cheese pie earlier this week and the artichoke course at the expensive restaurant looks interesting and probably tasty, except for that grass offering.

I don't know, papermoon. Some people have allergies. I'm sure it had probably been washed but it's a mean trick to put it on a plate and expect patrons to just 'know' it is not meant to be eaten.

I mean, I would leave it as it doesn't look edible, but they should never put customers in that position.

I don't think it even looks attractive. The other 4 courses looked better (though quite small) I must admit.

I could have eaten all 5 and not been overly full.

I get a better feed at Wheelers Hill pub with the seniors meal, to be honest. 

Not Aussie dollars - but the conversion might be more,

It was in Toronto.

And for all that money.....not a tablecloth in sight.

More money than sense IMO
