The lettuce was there to act as a cushion since I was worried it would break apart while moving it from the bowl to the plate
I used too much mint flavoring so it had an aftertaste like toothpaste

That is not salad.

Have you actually seen a salad before?

Those baby corn tentacles sure are appetizing.

I truly don’t understand these aspic dishes. Like…texture aside, it could be good if it was idk mashed potatoes and turkey or something? Or even like traditional Cobb salad ingredients. How come every time I see one posted it’s things like “fish and banana” or fucking CORN AND MINT?!? It already looks disgusting, why make it worse by adding flavors that clearly do not complement each other?
ETA: I’m sorry, corn and mint and PICKLES? This post is making me irrationally angry.

Of course. The ol lettuce cushion trick.

Classic? This is from a short period of cuisine that was abandoned for a good reason.

That is a gateway to the nether realms, complete with mini corncob tentacles. It is a violation of all things holiday. Cthulhu be praised.

In the 60s and 70s they actually had recipe books with barf fests like this

Oysters, carrots, kiwis, peas, spam and green olives, in a fish stock aspic. Garnished with easy cheese.

My Eastern European soul wants to call this kholodets, but my eyes are telling me it’s a mid-century modern fever dream brought to life.
Honestly, I love the audacity. While everyone else is out here making basic air-fryer wings, this chef is playing God with gelatin and baby corn. The layering is professional, the structural integrity is terrifying, and that cranberry sauce base says, “I have a vision and I don’t care about your rules of sweet vs. savory.”
It takes massive courage to serve a dish that actually looks back at you. Most people wouldn’t have the nerve to post this, let alone put it on a plate. I’m raising a glass to the creator for their sheer creativity and complete disregard for the status quo.
A toast to you, good sir/madam; stay bold, stay brave, and stay jiggly!

Aspic is such a cursed relic of the past.
Maybe the only surviving food from that era is that can-shaped cranberry sauce at thanksgiving.

I love the lettuce, like OP said in his mind maybe some garnishes will at least save the presentation. It did not, somehow made it worse
