little and no
they're inseperable, you can't make bad food that looks good. Just because it isn't arranged autistically doesn't mean it doesn't look good. Good food looks good, shitty food looks shitty. I care about making good food. When I succeed, it looks good and it is inevitably good. When I've failed, i don't even need to taste it to know. Hope that makes sense
>you can't make bad food that looks good
I'd like to point you to literally anything made in Japan.
i can't think of any japanese food that looks bad, much less bad that looks good, could you provide some examples?
could you provide some examples? I thought about the argument of things like TV commercial/ad food, poisoned food, spoiled food, but it's literally not food, i would say you can make non-food that looks uncannily like food, but if you were to see it in person you would start to see weird things that don't look right.
Large cues for flavor and texture can be discerned at a visual level.
Good and shitty are also extremes. I'm not implying you can't enjoy bad food, even that I don't, or that food can't look just "fine" or "ok", also being as such.
OPs pic is "ok" food. It's just crab and some weird fruit salad arranged intentionally. Nothing shitty, nothing to celebrate.
>kidney beans beans dumped out of a can
Looks like the bad version of OP's "ok", not quite shitty (inedible trash) not the sort of bad that I enjoy (goyslop) but I'm sure some bean weak bugman would eat it
>Good food looks good, shitty food looks shitty
this is not even remotely true
you have been here way too long
>Good food looks good
One of my favorite homemade dishes is a bean stew that looks like mortifyingly horrific congealed sludge
Part of the pleasure of eating well is the feeling of destroying something beautiful
Eating is a sensory experience, more than just taste.
Fancy froo froo plating is dumb, but things like adding color to a dish with a garnish and serving your beverage in a glass instead of out of a can absolutely has an effect on how you percieve a meal.
i literally don't care at all
Very cool, I thought it was a real millipede.
it's only important if you want to flex on someone. Otherwise, your dish is meant to nourish, be tasty, and just turn into poop.
been trying strict OMAD for a couple months. What I find interesting is that you can see without question what your food ends up as. Ill keep a camera roll of before and afters on the occasions I remembered to take a pic my cooking and it had an interestjng result

Entirely gay question
Should have kept it to yourself
homosexual
... Should have known by now nobody cares
Would you eat pickles laid out next to the sink any other way?
I love how they are acting like this is an impressive spread when they live in a cookie cutter small apartment
Bigger than mine, probably cheaper too
AI slop
presentation is a direct function of its environment. you would not show up at a jobsite in a suit, nor would you show up at a hedge fund in a hoodie.
babe what's the matter? you've hardly touched the crabtipede
I don't care about it at all when I'm cooking at home
I pile everything on top of each other like slop
Very important. First thing we experience with food is sight. Does it look good? Does the meat look juicy or dry? Does it look fresh or rancid? Its an evolutionary response to avoid bad looking food.
I like the food I make at home to look nice. Makes me feel like I've done a good job
