L. to R.
Cocktail glass - prawns, mango, mayonnaise, whatever & perhaps with a prawn off the side. ("Vintage" dressing - equal parts ice-cream & tomato sauce.)
Ethnic - deep and moody, comfort food, any garnish will be "old school". (Jasmin restaurant.)
Stacked - layered, tall as possible (salad helps), generally circular, must be "deconstructed" to eat.
L. to R
Meat and Three Veg - homely, ticking off the five food groups.
Rustic - delicious gnocchi and mushrooms, artfully "plonked" on an earthy plate. (André's Cucina)
Verrine - Food piled in a glass (or even more on trend, in a preserving jar).
L. to R.
Zen - conscious simplicity and perfection - C.M.'s Peach Melba 
Take-away - when the going gets tough. (Just a personal social experiment, of course.)
Geometric - Raspberries and Pistachio - Paris, Le Grand Véfour, my spiritual home.
L. to R.
Linear - a string of ingredients rather than a recipe!
Scatterings - bits of this and that, arranged...
Spoons - for tiny morsels of deliciousness - cocktail food, pre-prandial nibbles, canapés. (Never anywhere to put the empties.)

Do you remember any others?

What's trending now - we've done 'soil' but now everything has a 'crumb' or 'textural element'. 'Element', indeed, some dishes have up to 110 'elements' - why? Make me a 'sammich' please, Catherine.

Yes, I'll think we'll do some work on the "elements". We're getting dishes with more and more elements, all with provenance, age and intolerance factor. No surprises anymore.

I recently ordered a dish that was described as having beetroot as a component. When it arrived the 'beetroot' was an infinitesimal and almost invisible trace of pinkish powder! Amusing or annoying?

Hi Cath.
Just discovered your blog (was searching for the Elizabeth David chocolate mousse ratios)
Very enjoyable read. A few giggles, too.
Will be reading in future.
Hope you’re well.
