To me this is not appetizing. Kind of looks like one thing an unhealthy pet might leave on my floor.

Flavour profile is odd. I know you will say it works but I personally can not see this tasting well.

This is super creative and I’m liking the flavour combinations, but this plating is not it. The sauce needs to be strained, it should be super clear, all the fibre in there looks really unappealing. The eggplant should be much darker, have distinct grill marks and hold more of it’s shape. You might also consider skinning them as eggplant skin can be somewhat unpleasant to eat. Finally think about transforming the blackberries in some way, maybe have a few fresh, but maybe some blackberry puree as well? The plate could also do with some kind of garnish, maybe microbasil?
After all that there might be some thought put into a different style of plating, I’m thinking about a nice white high sided bowl, tomato consommé at the bottom, nice charred eggplants standing up against each other to create some height and the other elements placed carefully but organically around.

This is some dr Seuss shit man, a deflated eggplant and a handful of blackberries? Are there spices that make this taste good?

Is that a plate or you plated directly on the table?

I like the eggplant. I’m not a fan of the viscous green pool. Not really sure what it is because it’s not mentioned in the description.
And for me the double nightshades( aubergine, and tomato is kind of like pairing short rib , and flank steak. Or cabbage and broccoli..)
The components you listed tend towards acidic also. So I imagine the the taste to be acidic and kinda slimy, and then more acidic.
No hate it just seems unbalanced.

I’m interested to know if you came because you – a) thought this was appetizing and delightful and want accolades – b) are just here to troll – or c) actually came to take advice in order to improve. Perhaps the comments will tell the story.
