Everything about Garnish Food totally explained
:
For other uses see Garnish (disambiguation)
Garnish is a substance used primarily as an embellishment or decoration to a prepared food or drink item. It may also give added or contrasting flavor, but that isn't its primary purpose, in contrast to a
condiment which is primarily a flavor added to another food item.
A garnish makes food or drink items more appealing. They may, for example, enhance their color, such as when
paprika is sprinkled on a
salmon salad. They may give a color contrast, for example when
parsley or
chives are sprinkled on
potatoes. They may make a
cocktail seem more festive, like a
cocktail umbrella in an exotic drink, or a
celery stalk in a
Bloody Mary, or when a
Mai Tai is garnished with all manners of tropical
fruit.
A garnish may make food extra special, such as a
maraschino cherry on top of
ice cream. The use of this particular garnish has led to the common children's plea— "Pretty please, with a cherry on top!"— for extraordinary requests.
A garnish can also become a hackneyed cliché when it has lost its meaning, such as a sprig of parsley and a small spoonful of
coleslaw in a
paper cup served beside all
sandwiches at a
diner.
A garnish may be so readily identified with a specific dish, that the food item may appear incomplete without it.
To preserve garnishes for a long period of time, submerge them in the water and store them in the freezer. The garnish will stay fresh for 8 to 10 months.
A food item which is served with garnish may be described as being
garni.
