No half-decent restaurant would actually serve that. or are you referring to the small portion size?

>>13512735
It's "voilà", you retard. It's as if you believed "au revoir" was actually spelled "awr booah".

>>13512276
because rich people eat for quality and not quantity?

sorry you're seething over me eating a $200 piece of foie gras while you stuff yourself with fast food junk

They don't. Even tapas usually have a bigger serving. Regardless, small portions like OP is trying to refer to are usually part of a multi course meal. 7-10 courses likely. It's about tasting a bunch of flavors from a small amount of the finest ingredients. Poor people wouldn't understand this tho

someone get this homo-nouveau a proper /ck/ meme education, "see voo play"

>>13512834
ah wa la

It's.called cuisine nouvelle and no self-respecting restaurant is going to plate a piece of asparagus, a shrimp and a single potato. the particular style revolves around creating a singular experience thots to be consumed in a couple of bites. It's not necessarily food for sustenance as much as it is food for a specific experience.

>1 plate of slop / half of it rice/potatoes

>10 small plates of different shit

Because you’ll pay for it

If they are so rich why can't they afford a larger serving?

>>13513378
Because you generally eat enough different courses to be pretty full by the end.

This is such a meme, I remember looking up a bunch of $300+ tasting menus once and they were all stuff like
>single scallop
>apple slice with vinaigrette
>single pork rib
>partridge skin slivers
>deconstructed grape

I'm sure it's all delicious but I can't imagine being filled up by most multi-course things

>>13512276
Money laundering.

>>13512276
>why do restaurants do this?
>stock photo
They don't.

>>13512276
It could be worse, those three things could be stacked on top of each other like something from a homosexual art house.

>>13513881
That's strange, because I just did a quick internet search surveying some tasting menus and none of them were like that. Maybe there are some out there like that, but it's definitely not all.

There is a very famous restaurant/chef guidebook, published in late 80s. Forgot the name but it was on libgen.

It called dining like this as a fad but had a massive advantage, money. It saves them a lot of money.

Upsacle restaurants are rarely about the food and more centered around the dining experience

Bone apple tea

>>13515456
Wasn't that from that show Three's Company, Mr Roper the landlord or maybe the other guy who came afterwards would say bony knees.

>>13512276
Small portion sizes are usually used because the meal contains very expensive ingredients and/or ingredients with very rich flavors.

Also, unlike in your post pic, small yet expensive plates of food are generally served with a high degree of plating skill. No restaurant would actually serve the shitpost shrimp you posted.

I didn't understand for a while but apparently it's because rich people don't think of food as sustenance. They treat it as a form of pleasure purely, they want their portions small so they have the appetite to order 10 different menu items.
