      Plating can be nice without being pretentious.
      I try to plate my food nicely even though I just cook for myself and don't take photos of it.
      A little sprig of parsley or some garden cress can make a very basic dish look much nicer. You don't have to stand there and put flowers on it with pincers like you're a damn Michelin chef.

                'poured neat' mean with no ice or mixers. The US is a wienertail nation, so we have to distinguish the ways in which we enjoy our alcohol. A lot of people here like to add bitters, sugar, fruit juice, etc. to their alcohol.

              Green kiwis have a lot of actinidin, a meat-tenderizing cysteine enzyme. It's similar to bromelain in pineapples with how it softens up meat.
              Eating a lot of either fruit can hurt your mouth because of this.

    It does for me. Though, mindset when going into a meal matters overall. You're not going to appreciate the various qualities of a meal as much if you're distracted by shitposts and memes on a Mongolian goat steaming enthusiasts imageboard.

    I suspect it very likely that the majority of the people on this board not only do not cook regularly, but don't even pay much attention to the food they consume when they do. When you put some time into a nice meal in a pleasant environment, and savor the qualities in your work, the meal is going to be more satisfying and relaxing. Moreover, spending the small amount of time to settle your meal and dining spot neatly can be meditative of itself if performed mindfully. Seeing a visually appealing thing and deriving pleasure from that isn't exclusive to fine paintings and dicky bellies; we should endeavor to improve aesthetic detail in all our daily crafts.

      based post. it doesn't have to be a fancy gastronomique presentation even, but when you eat shitty sloppa plopped onto the top of an old pizza box all the time, it affects your mindset. you turn yourself into a trash goblin. if I gave that to someone else, I would feel like I was insulting them.

      plus, people undeniably eat with their eyes. if you're cooking for others, presentation absolutely matters. if you're going to make something for other people you care about, why wouldn't you spend at least 1% of the effort you spent cooking to make it more presentable for them? my girlfriend says she doesn't care about presentation, but I know for a fact if I don't make it look nice she doesn't like it as much. respect your craft and the people you're cooking for, even if it's just a hobby, and even if it's just for you.

            Not completely dissolved, the expert(s) they (Pepsi) hired claimed the mouse would have turned into a jelly like substance in 30 days, unrecognizable as a mouse due to abscene of bones/structure. The mouse they pulled out was completely intact, and born later that the manufacturing date.

            Tissue/collagen not so much, but it has the acidity to dissolve bones, especially small ones like that of a mouse.

            mentioned, the evidence was a mouse which was far too intact despite the drink's acidity. The defence's case included a study on the effects of citric acid in low concentrations on organic tissue (that was ironically also meant to show the ill effects of soft drink consumption).
            PepsiCo's defence here was actually pretty solid. They chose to settle out of court to get the news to stop talking about the case which was harmful for their brand image. Despite proving the thing was a hoax, journalistic integrity doesn't exist in the 21st century and it was just better not to have constant "MOUSE DISSOLVED IN MOUNTAIN DEW!!!" headlines.

    Presentation matters. If your food looks like shit, that brings down the experience of eating it.

    It can. I don't waste much time on garnishes or plating for myself (cook, slide onto plate, shove into face), but if I'm cooking for people, even a little garnish and some well-placed and prettied up flatbread with a bowl of sloppa makes me feel better about serving it. If the expectation comes from it looking like a plateload of diarrhea, sometimes the brain guides the tongue and not the other way around.

    MovieBob isn't even that much of a blob in comparison to how he used to be, that McDonald's tweet caused him to reevaluate his life

    presentation isn't everything, but it's not nothing.

    Wouldn't the chicken dissolve in that time period? Enjoy your botulism soup.
