Just hollow out half of the cucumber and give me more of that salad inside. Then I’m happy.

Not really the point of the sub in the way I understand it. This is art and craftsmanship. Built with the idea that all this fine work will be destroyed and its existence is momentary. It’s just the end stage of culinary arts, where the art takes precedence over the culinary.

This is very impressive

Nope not stupid this is not just a food think of it like a art piece you may not like it but it still has some respectable craftsmanship involved in it
SillyKniggit
This isn’t stupid. I would be estatic if this were served to me.

But did it taste good? Only if it tasted bad would it be stupid. Otherwise, it’s just a very time consuming and complicated dish to make.

Looks delicious. Nice little salad bites. Yum

Isn’t going “fuuuuuu” a really old rage face meme? Like from 4chan in 2008?

This isnt stupid.
Just laborious and a bit cute.

I don’t think this is stupid.
This looks very pretty, edible, and delicious. Its tiny, 1 maybe 2 bites, but it’s probably intended as a single course of 20+ at a really expensive place where the presentation and craft is a major part of the experience.
That restaurant where they smear your food all over the table is stupid. This is an example of the very best version of food as theater.

Paintings are stupid because you could cover a wall much easier with just wallpaper

Cooking is truly an artistic process. With so many different things to consider

What’s stupid about it?

Not stupid at all r/lostredditor

I mean it’s not stupid food I wouldn’t buy it but that’s clearly an art form this is kind of supposed to be about legit garbage or things that are just incredibly stupid.

That is beautiful, makes me think of Ratatouille.

This isnt food. Its art that happens to be made with edible materials. Therefore, not stupid

This is called culinary art. It’s edible, yes, but being food is not its primary purpose.
RepresentativeCold62
Isn’t this called food-art or something? It is very pretty.

This is at skillful, precise, and deliberate. Excessive perhaps, but not the kind of excessive that really gets under anybody’s skin.
No one is dumping gallons of liquid cheese on things. No one is frying stuff that really ought not to be fried. No one is molesting and sexualizing a steak. It’s not performative extravagance, we’re a douchebag slap something with gold leaf to add $50 for the price tag. It’s not doing things deliberately wrong just to piss people off.
It’s art. Not for everybody, but not stupid

This is food art. Dunno if it really fits the sub

Some people need to educate themselves on what is stupid and what is art. The precision and time it takes to do this, would drive a normal person insane. This person on the other hand is a true artist and I bet the flavors are incredibly delicious!

This is both cool and probably tastes good. Why did you post this here?

“The trip was so much fun. We ate at one of them fancy places and they served all these weird dishes. They had something with cucumbers and such. Just popped them in and they ate real good. And then our entrees came out but we didn’t like them. Just too fishy. So they made us some burgers and then we went shopping at Sephora.”
I’ve always assumed these are mostly to showcase the creator’s technical skills and creativity rather than be practical stuff they try to serve to someone. If I saw this in a restaurant I might think it was stupid, but if it’s just something this person makes for themselves because they can, I don’t really see an issue.

Anyone know the name of the music piece?
