Just had my lunch!!! Sliced turkey breast with roasted vegetables And a creamy rich smooth gravy When I was in the Chefy world The turkey would have been carved Into the perfectly symmetrical square The veg identical cubes The gravy now a single smear of Jue Yes, art on a plate and an hour to make Mine took me about twenty minutes And tasted just great Oh yes, I can do the ******* stuff A fresh summer salad Garnished with nasturtium flowers Fresh nasturtium leaves for a peppery taste Then charge you twenty pounds a plate Not forgetting cogwheeled tomatoes on the side A sight to make eyes open wide But back to my dinner Turkey slices half inch thick Roasted veggies rough cut and crisp All swimming in a rich brown sauce No Chefy stuff or Chefy thoughts Now that is food...
When I was training to be a chef more years ago than I care to remember, we were taught that presentation was 90℅ of a good meal. I never did believe it
