Comments on: The Challenge of Stylish Food http://chennette.net/2007/06/21/the-challenge-of-stylish-food/ Trini food enthusiast, traveling around the Caribbean, sharing my tales, meals and photos.

How many times does one explain that the pictures of the littlest Trini Aberdonians were far more important. Wait till I tell them. Oh the stories I will tell... This time I come armed with 2 cameras. If we have to take the food out to the Holly bush to get style and ambience, we will. Just don't lose the focus on the taste. Sigh.

It had to be the stylish surroundings which clearly made photography inappropriate :-) Right, now I know why you didn’t take photos of our food… It had to be the stylish surroundings which clearly made photography inappropriate :-)

I haven't looked at the food porn section of flickr but I'll have to. I think it's funny when you watch some of these shows on TV (like Iron chef) and the chef is table side with instructions on how to eat the food. That doesn't really work for me, but I can appreciate an artfully arranged plate of delicious food. It’s funny but food TV and foodie blogs have raised the ante even for Sunday dinner.

Edible and tasty decorations are preferred!
