If you are a chef doing a cookbook then fair play, if you are a photographer and you are doing a set to illustrate some poncy sunday suppliment then ok, if you are on PH showing off a bit then its marginal to be honest but since its christmas and there is a certain level of nonsence here anyway i will let it slide but a normal person out for food snapping their meal is insane.
If you do it you need testing for holes in your brain, right now.
Interestingly my moped riding mung bean eating neighbour thinks that as I have 5 cars I have holes in my brain and that I should be strung up for crimes against the planet. Good job someone came up with the phrase "each to their own". If you do it you need testing for holes in your brain, right now.
looks like someone is playing with molecular gastronomy... in particular some type of foam...

Do you have photos of your car? it's sat on the drive, you can look at it there. Do you have photos of other peoples cars?
I've taken pictures of mine when I was either happy with what I produced or it was particually interesting or different.
For example
Why are you eating off the top of a display cabinet?Do you have photos of your car? it's sat on the drive, you can look at it there. Do you have photos of other peoples cars?

For example
And why are you eating Bubble bath bubbles?

In fairness I probably would have taken a pic of that just so I could show my mates.
It took me a while to work out it was on top of the glass and not under it to stop you touching it, did you eat it ? what was it like ? I am actually interested and am not being sarcastic at the moment.

This was followed by the Sounds of the Sea dish, then salmon poached in liquorice with artichokes, vanilla mayonnaise, golden trout roe and Manni olive oil, which I felt was never one of the better dishes here, but this is a lot to do with my personal taste rather than any technical issue. Next was a new dish that was being previewed, English lamb slow cooked with pomme puree and mustard, with on the side a "hot pot" made from the neck and shoulder of the lamb with its sweetbread, with cucumber juice, dill and onion confit. The lamb was beautifully cooked and the sauce of the cooking juices had lovely flavour; for me such a rich dish could perhaps have done with a liitle more balancing acidity, but it was most enjoyable (9/10).

My lovely, ranty thread has been hijacked by the very people I'm picking on.
I can't bear the irony.
I'm off to top myself.
