photo of the day: plate of salmon with veggies and mashed potatoes

I love the honesty that accompanies this image of a beautifully plated piece of salmon. Yakman admits that the veggies were frozen and that the pesto came from a jar, but is also careful to state that the fish is fresh from a local market. I like the combination of time saving convenience foods with the lovely piece of salmon. Sometimes that's just what you have to do to get dinner on the table.

Honestly, I have such a strong negative gut reaction to frozen veggies like that that *any* food served with them automatically looks inedible, no matter how delicious it might be on its own.

As the photographer and eater of the dinner in the photo, I don't think there's anything wrong with frozen vegetables (obviously). They've just vegetables, that are frozen. It's not like buying a frozen TV dinner where all sorts of other stuff goes into it.

In fact, according to Nutrion Australia frozen vegetables can be more nutritious than fresh! http://www.nutritionaustralia.org/Food_Facts/FAQ/frozen_freshveg_faq.asp

I have to agree with Kim. Even before I read the blurb, my eyes zoomed the perfect little cubes of carrot and I recoiled from the frozen veggie mix of horrors.
