Do you think food is more appealing when its decorated with greenery and flowers?

[Razp_Sorbet]

We decorate with greenery and flowers at my work because it seems to make things sell better. What do you think?

[NathanDavis]

I can definitely see why it could work for certain businesses and certain people who would be into that, yes...

but personally... it would not do anything for me in the appealing sense, that's just me though...

it's just going to fill me with questions lmao... are they edible, are they even real... where and how they got them, and are they clean enough... is it going to cost extra because of the fancy deco... lol

and then, at the end of the day, it is pastry... it's carbs, that's my weakness, and that's all it takes to appeal to me

[Razp_Sorbet]

Lol of course they're edible

[NathanDavis]

I would not know, lmao... but now I'd have more questions

are they real flowers? or look-like flowers, and... are they tasty?

[Razp_Sorbet]

They're real flowers, most dont taste like anything. Majority of people just pick them off when eating

[NathanDavis]

we only live once so... if they took the time to do it, I'm eating those... lmao

[Massageman]

Some are actually edible (marigolds, etc). I used to make foods which included significant garnish, although most were not "living plants". We've had to simply the way we cook, eliminated half of our assorted salts, mustards, make our own dressings, etc. just to hold the budget on foods. Dill is one "required" herbal "greenery" that is still quite active on my spice rack, plus fresh from our yard when I make dill pickles. Whether it's a "garnish" or a needed "ingredient" depends on the recipe and/or someone's own "take" on the issue.

[RxR0954]

Definitely, flower decor make me wonder if the food kinda resemble the floral taste and i would be interested enough to try one

[FreyaRed]

Chives, Lettuce, Parsley, Basil... yes
Flowers... nope. I associate most flowers with bitterness.

[DryGermanGuy]

As someone who suffered from hayfever for 25 years, this gives me a bit of bad vibes.

[Razp_Sorbet]

I have severe hayfever theyre fine

[DryGermanGuy]

Oh, I get that - it's more of a PTSD thing, seeing flowers on food. :-)

[MisterWack]

Would a flower get me to buy more sweets?

Honestly, if there was a tart with a flower on it I’d probably choose it over a cupcake since it pulls my attention to the baked good.

And that is a cool job to have, the pastries look incredible.

[Zack-Bann]

I’m personally not a fan of that


When I look at flowers I don’t wonder what they taste like
So being served flowers on my plate seems very out of place


I don’t even like the cocktails where they put a petal in your drink. It also seems out of place

[FunkyMonkee]

No. I hate having to edit my food while I'm eating and the more of that shit I'm not gonna eat that you put on it makes more work for me. If it's just one minor decoration that I can very easily lift out, I can deal with that. Mom used to put grated green peppers in her meatloaf and I hated that!! They looked like little boogers hiding in the meat!! She claimed it was to give it more flavour!! When I made a meatloaf, I DIDN'T use the peppers and it tasted exactly the same!!

[DonaldDarko]

It is except flowers often are inedible. I always try and make food look appealing by using things like avocado slices as garnishes. The aesthetic matters.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Legally you can only put edible things on food unless the thing is designed to keep it fresh or hold it together

[Tarifa]

Color, texture and smell is what makes food appealing. Flowers may bring these three aspects to your food or enhance them.

[itsannalee]

Personalia not, I prefer something who keeps nearly.
And decorating foods with real flowers is make it look messy.

[ohsheeT]

Of course the old saying it's the thought that goes into it that counts

And if it looks like it's made from love it will taste like it is too

[AviatorTom]

That's good, so long as the greenery and flowers are edible.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Always. Would get in big trouble with the council if they weren't

[Summeroflove]

Sure. But I just like food. Give me fewd and I’ll be happy.

[Nikki1989]

It adds an artistic flair to the food, so I like it for that.

[MrOracle]

No. Either I want the food or I don't - "decorations" just annoy me.

[fonduegirl]

No. It gotta taste good and have nice texture

[Brady]

Not with flowers. U can't eat them n u hav 2 remove them.

[Razp_Sorbet]

They're edible ☺️

[Still-alive]

I suppose they would draw peoples eyes towards them on account of their colors. they likely smell good too.

[LiamS95]

Yes, it can be especially if it's all edible.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Obviously, can't put inedible decorations on food that would be against health and safety protocols

[Kingofkings1992]

Not for me personally. Presentation does make a difference in the restaurant industry, but I'm not gonna be complaining if my pastries don't have flowers in them lol

[Kelly6]

@Razp_Sorbet it does pull my attention to buy and taste food decorated with flower

[msc545]

Well, it's certainly more visually appealing. I don't think it makes it taste any better.

[queenofcardio]

I actually prefer when it's plain looking

[RavVid]

I am growing flowers to put on food.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Lovely, I have some sweet asylum, corn flowers, California poppies and snap dragons that are going crazy in my garden

[RavVid]

Cool - I only have balconies. So nasturtiums and geraniums is all I can manage.

[beenherebefore]

Yes! It definitely elevates the dish.

[exitseven]

nah, it all ends up in the same place.

[Xawyx-2]

It can be, depends on what kind of food.

[blackeagle007]

It’s just looks. Not taste

[beefcakebradybatson]

And a buxom bird serving it !!!

[unending]

Nope.

[Raydergman26]

Yes it does
