Just tuna, tomato and spring onion on a sea salt Ciabatta, topped with a sweet balsamic glaze.

    Why did you waste that much balsamico by splashing it everywhere but on that turmoil of ingredients (that btw looks like your fridge exploded)?

    That whole thing does not look very inviting, at least not in this pic.

        I was going to joke about missing most of the sandwich with the glaze but I don’t want to sound as mad as the guy above. So, I’ll go with: looks good!

            Food porn should be a celebration of your best work and half the stuff I see here might taste good but it’s no porn.

            How are you supposed to use the drizzle on this dish?

            Rub the sandwich on it while the fillings fall out?

              This community is small, its not productive to give people shit for posting decent quality pictures of food, regardless of your hangups about what you want the community to be. There’ll be more room for being picky about what posts belong on a given community when lemmy is big enough there are plenty of healthy communities for food related posts.

              I can understand complaints about how eatable the dish is, or about the pretentious plating, but we can communicate those sentiments better than this, and ultimately no one has to like any given post that shows up here. If you want post quality to be better its probably more productive to post content you think is deserving of the community name

                If this is what you want the community to be that’s cool but when the poster is admitting it’s not their greatest work that says a lot.

                  I want this community to be full of posts, and when we have a healthy starting point THEN I think it makes sense to be picky about quality standards. For right now I think my standards are that the pictures should be reasonably high fidelity, and some amount of effort should have gone into plating, and thats pretty much it. Frankly I think op put TOO much effort into plating, cause it looks fussy as all hell, but on a small platform like this posts are a good thing, and dissuading people from posting is not. If you want better quality content go post some food stuff you’ve made or eaten that you think is better

      Is it a sandwich if half of it isn’t between the bread? (Still looks great though, probably wouldn’t eat like a sandwich though)

        open faced sandwiches are a thing - but yeah it’s sort of messy in that pic/not that appetizing

      No, he clearly used some sort of explosive to prepare this meal.

      Obviously, this is something you eat with another explosion to project the meal in your mouth.

    instead of balsamic glaze, next time try pomegranate syrup - pairs surprisingly well with tuna
