Photo of the Day: Unattractive Squab

When prepared properly (like all foods), squab is delicious. Presentation is very important - an unappetizing dish doesn't mentally prepare you to eat something delicious, saliva doesn't flow, and sometimes food can taste bland simply because it looks bland. Sometimes it looks so unappetizing you don't even want to try the food. The squab in this picture was unattractive but not so much that I didn't eat one (or two).
