While food presentation, or ‘plating’ has long been an important aspect to dining across many cultures, the dawn of the Instagram era has seemingly taken it to another level.

These days, dining out can feel like a trip to a tourist landmark. Dishes are carefully documented and curated for the visual satisfaction of virtual diners on social media. However, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of food is not just the domain of chefs in fancy restaurants.

Sometimes the humble green-grocer on the corner will take great pride in his produce, and carefully arrange his fruit and veg in a pleasing manner for his customers. Maybe you accidentally made a pancake that arranged itself into a triumph of geometry, or more often than not, Mother Nature was just awesome and produced the sexiest damn onion you have ever seen.

We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of the most gorgeous grub we could find, whether it’s satisfyingly symmetrical or just plain tasty-looking! Scroll down below to check it out!

Am I the only one that wants to go clean & organize their living space now?

I have to get myself a rice cooker now because those pancakes look amazing.

I particularly love the pictures of the fruits and vegetables; nature is one of the most beautiful creations, it's a shame we don't get to see so much variety in our daily lives.

Seven Layered Tea From The Tea State Of Bangladesh

5a4e22c9eed98_kf330f31d0iy__605.jpg

Love these threads as always, @Meeow!

Am I the only one that started counting whenever a number was provided lol?

This looks like 8 layers instead of 7. Layers 2 & 3 look like the same color but they are slight variations of each other. Also, it would make sense for it to be 2 layers since the symmetry would be off with layer 2 being exactly double the size of every other layer.

It's just food. Calm down.

Unless it tastes good, who cares?

Obviously you did, because you were NOT tagged yet you waltzed right up in here despite getting a pretty clear idea of what the thread would be about based on the title alone.

Don't bring your fuckery and negativity to @Meeow's threads. I'll gladly catch an infraction dragging you about her.

I gave a calm three sentence statement giving my opinion. I came in expecting to be wowed or at least "satisfied" and I was not. It's okay, no harm no foul. You could either groan or keep it moving if you did not agree with my opinion.

You on the other hand went through the drama of quoting me and then quoting the OP and overall acting a fool.

Now who brought the effery and negativity?

It's a message board meaning that everyone can come in everyone's thread and comment. There are options available to us all should we not agree with a comment----groan, etc.

You did way too much and whether you realize it or not, you potentially hijacked her thread with your messy response but I'm not like you and as such if you do respond from this point forward, out of respect for her thread (despite my differing opinion about whether the pics were satisfying)----I will not.

@froggyluv2,

Girl, bye. You came in here telling us to "calm down" as if you were a rich yt woman left to 'tend to the help' and then had the audacity to play victim when I groaned and called you out?

Maybe it's you who needs to "calm down" and run along.

Take your own advice. You could have groaned and kept it moving, too.

And, trust, you haven't seen "too much" yet.

I'm a very visual person (also I probably have a touch of OCD) so when anything looks visually complete or there's visual balance I feel satisfied. You just see food but I see color, shape, symmetry in the food. Just a different way our brains view things that's all. Are you more left brain oriented by any chance?

Hmm.

Now you bring up an interesting perspective....I am more verbal/linguistically oriented than visual in terms of learning. When it comes to sensory, I am more attuned to taste and smell (both of which are profoundly connected). I would also say that I am most assuredly a left brain thinker. I struggle to switch over to right brained thinking for the purposes of work.

The idea that a right brain visual-spatially oriented individual would actually gain satisfaction from merely seeing order is very thought provoking and opens up a great deal of conversation about the ways that visual asymmetry might affect not only the productivity but emotional and perhaps even physical health of a right brained visual/spatial person. This can have significance in the workplace and education.

Thank you for helping me to see things differently.
