To think that serving food with a "froth" sauce...

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Just makes it look like someone has gobbed on your dinner! I'm watching Masterchef The Professionals and someone has done this. It looks FOUL!

I'm with you on this - it's vile. Almost comparable to when I was served a tangerine chocolate tart as dessert and the chocolate sauce had been smeared across the white porcelain with a brush. It looked just like something the DCs would leave in the toilet as evidence of their passing so to speak. I lost my appetite.

Vile

To me it looks like one of those tropical frogs has laid its eggs on the plate.

YANBU, froth or foam just yuk.

Is the foam supposed to taste of something?

DH had a lovely black pudding tower recently, it was served with a very tasty sauce, the sauce though looked like a dog with gastro had squatted over the plate then dragged its arse through the mess.

I've never been bothered by it, if the food tastes great I'll return for more - a bit of froth is fairly irrelevant.

I thought they'd moved on from froths and were now putting what looks like gravel / dirt on every dish or sails of crispy fish skin.

There also seems to be a fashion for olives in almost everything - including dessert. Yuk.

YANBU. Always reminds me of spit! Think its about time this fad in food preparation went for good. It never tastes of what its supposed to anyway.

Yanbu. It looks sick. As do the smears of chocolate (poo) and smears of pea/spinach purée (snot).

@ Binky!

Done properly it is amazing.

Chuckling at fryingnemo

Haha! Shit smears and fish skin sails make me !

I always think it looks like spit too. It looks revolting and the texture can't be nice to eat, surely?

I had a pudding in a restaurant once that had red fruit coulis dripped onto it in spots. DH remarked that it looked like the chef had suffered a nosebleed when plating up!

I don't care if its done properly or not. It still looks like the chef flobbed on the starter!

Im laughing like a loon here @ gobbed on your dinner :o

I just bought Ds2 a kit that among other things makes "foams". Hes at a very expensive college becoming a chef. He takes it all very seriously :o. I saw said kit and had to get it for his Christmas It does other cool things too like snot pearls to go in your drink

food gob kits

Crying at 'flobbed'.

It always reminds me of cuckoo spit.

Or baby posset.

I like my sauce in a little jug please. Not wiped or spat or dripped onto the plate. I also like to eat from a plate; not a roof tile or plank. Also, don't pile my food into little cairns, itlooks silly and just needs knocking over.

I like the thing where you get all the puddings on one plate though. I am greedy.

gobby done properly it still looks like phlegm.

Yanbu. Cannot bear the whole idea of froth on a plate. Like it on top of a nice half of Guinness, natch.

YANBU

It really puts me off a place if they serve foam or froth. It looks rank. It doesn't taste good. Prententious wank.

not a roof tile or plank Absolutely!
AND, stop mixing sweet and savoury up! Bacon flavoured Doughnuts?? Cheese flavoured popcorn????? NO NO NO NO NO!

Those smears are known as skid marks in this house. Soooo repulsive looking, especially when there is gob AND skid mark on same place.

DH is a roofer, so there are always roof tiles around the place. He's always saying he's going to start dishing up the dinner on them after we watch masterchef.
