The other day I was taken out for lunch to a great restaurant that had the fanciest garnish to decorate their plates. It looked like something you would put on a birthday gift but it turned out to be finely shredded, spiraled, raw beets! Is nothing sacred! Well, my compliments to the chef! It was a great decoration.
Growing up in a Christian home, and it seems like a lifetime ago, we were always told wasting food was a sin and every time you throw out food someone in the world is going hungry.
Well, this is my part in helping to feed the world and let’s not forget helping our Mayor to meet his objective in cutting back on ~garbage~. Should we be wasting this food?
When you think about all the garnishes they put on our restaurant platters…… ~ lettuce leaves, ~ a spring of parsley, shredded beets. Can you add to the list? What about what they put in our drinks? Slices of orange, lemon, lime, maraschino cherries, olives and lets not forget the straws, toothpicks and fancy umbrellas. Can you add to the list? They look great but do you eat them?
Here’s a challenge! Let’s join forces and ask these restaurants to serve their food and drinks without garnishes. Is there anything else they can cut back on? Can you add to the list? Let’s let the Mayor in on this deal.
