How do you know the mystery stew pictured from 1000 meters away isn't bad

Anyway, I hate plain boiled potatoes

I mean, you mix the potatoes with the stew, then they're no longer plain.
It looks like a perfectly fine meal, I'd eat it. I wouldn't brag about it online, but I would eat it.

I can see it with my eyes and recognise what it is because it's a type of meal I've eaten before. It's possible that the specific example in the photograph is made badly, but there's no reason to assume that.

Stew is good, but not very photogenic, which makes it appropriate for a thread about bad looking food

That brown goop with the very pale potatoes is essentially a lazy cottage pie, it's fine.

The marge-coated bread on the side is another story.

Don't try and tell me you've never had a craving for quality fish that's been boiled to gently caress, shaped into small shoes and filled with some kind of creamed aquatic green

OMG, I inherited an almost complete collection of Robert Carrier... leaflets? Magazines?
Anyway, there were dozens of the drat things. I do remember that what I cooked from the recipes was actually pretty good, but the food photography was just dire.
If that salmon is very gently poached and the watercress mousseline is very delicately prepared, it's probably really nice.

Robert Carrier posted:

Combine water, sliced onion, celery, bay leaf and lemon juice, and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, in a wide saucepan. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add salmon steaks to the simmering liquid, carefully placing them on the bottom of the pan without letting them overlap. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Chill the steaks in their own liquid. Just before serving, drain. Serve with Watercress mousseline. Serves 4.

Watercress mousseline: Remove leaves from watercress; place them in cold water, bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Rinse well in cold water; drain and pass through a fine sieve. Bring double cream to a boil in a saucepan; add sieved watercress, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Chill. Just before serving, whisk with lemon juice until thick and smooth.

Oh no.

Why would you assume it's margarine and not butter?

OwlFancier

I don't actually know if there is a good way to plate stew, if it's good it's gonna look like a weird brown goo with unidentifiable things floating in it, and suet dumplings.

Honestly my main complaint is why the gently caress would you have stew and boiled potatoes.

You can just... put the potatoes in the stew? Why the gently caress would you boil them separately just to put them in a heap on the side? If you were making mash then fine but what the gently caress kind of absolute reprobate goes and boils potatoes and then eats them next to stew?

As I said in the other thread, it's better that way. Especially if you're going to make a sandwich out if it (which is what the buttered bread's for).

You get some contrast with the steamed potatoes, whereas if they're cooked in the stew then it's all part of the same thing. Don't be lazy. Cook the potatoes separately.

You mess with the crabbo...



But I like my potatoes as part of the same thing :arghfist::saddumb:



e: Actually I probably would like some contrast sometimes, but I think I'd do something like toss em in a frying pan to get some crispiness rather than doing plain boiled ones.

If you just put them in the stew and then mash them, you've done all three at the same time.

Although this is kind of the inverse because it looks like something I'd want to eat if was actually food. And then there's this that actually looks pretty appetizing.

I had a good one at Sierra Nevada but it was a Christmas seasonal and they didn't bottle it as far as I know.
