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? Comment below (or just click "like" 👍🏼) ckfood@ozemail.com.au facebook.com/itsnotthelastsupper

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. 11/4/2019 04:47:38 pm
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?
