I'm not sure where the best place to post this would be, but it seems to me that the folks who like to post in this section could make use of these tips:

10 Ways to Take Better Food Pics

Found it while browsing Google Reader and thought of you guys.

Moving to the main Restaurant Board. The Review Board is limited to Dining Reviews.

This can pertain to the reviews as well as the food 'porn' threads :thumbsup2
 

I personally LOVE # 10

10: Don’t Shoot
Know what not to shoot. Some things will just never look delicious, no matter how hard you try.


Meals that are all the same color and brown sauces are best left alone. And tasty though they may be, we defy you to make a haggis look good.

Almost as good as POP's sugar-free applesauce....

Mister Disney - I usually love your pictures, but even I didn't have to see that. :lmao:
 
I let other poor readers look it up...

Haggis is a traditional Scotish Dish....too graphic to describe!

:scared: :scared: :scared:
I actually knew what haggis was already, from watching Armaggedon one too many times. It's when Max, (the big guy,) is talking to the therapist when they're getting tested, and he talks about haggis and what it is. Looks about as appealing as it sounds. :scared:
 
Thanks for the post!

Mister Disney...blech!!!:scared: What is Hagis??? Looks so gross!
 
mister disney, you are hysterically funny!!! :rotfl2:

(although those haggis look a little "damp" in that light....)

so....where are tips #9 thru #1 now??
 
Haggis, looks yuck in that picture but it is very yummy. Well I like it anyway. I will pretty much try any food once and I would eat it again.

Lets just say it is some animal organ meat and leave it at that.....it is a "steamed pate" if you will......

From reading the description, I must say that the K-Man and I would try it...and we'd probably like it.
 
What is Hagis??? Looks so gross!

From Wikepedia - Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.

There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.

Haggis somewhat resembles stuffed intestines (pig intestines otherwise known as chitterlings or the kokoretsi of traditional Greek cuisine), sausages and savoury puddings of which it is among the largest types. As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour." (p592)

Most modern commercial haggis outside Scotland is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach. There are also meat-free recipes for vegetarians.

It is often asserted (e.g., on the packaging of MacSween's haggis) that the dish is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede, yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes; these are boiled and mashed separately) and a "dram" (ie. a glass of Scotch whisky). However, it might perhaps be more accurate to describe this as the traditional main course of a Burns supper, since on other occasions haggis may be eaten with other accompaniments. Whisky sauce (made from thickened stock and Scotch whisky) has recently been developed as an elegant addition.
