Sometimes but not always its the color of the shadow in the picture perhaps a negative image or just a black light in the distance some photographers spend hours to get that touch of hint to show us a lemon sprinkle on a plate but oh my GOD what an unappetizing blue hue and you can never see below it there is darkenness it could be a muffin or a piece of meat a long row of lasagna is the sprinkles on the meat ball we are never sure for the description is so vague and not in vogue it might be veal but never chicken but fish is possible but not that color sprinkle my eye is tired of trying to ascertain just what the flavor of the thing under the blue tint might be a plate of special a hint of smell a clue we need is missing in your book of recipe unfounded trust we should knoe this one is much like more of these we see them and we taste but never smell the plate of blue sprinkled found a yellow tinted thing is closer to the norm that blue plate special had me reaching for the powder horn the yellow sprinkles look just like Chiffon on top of giant lumps of better now for eye have eaton mince meat pie that tastes like blue finned tuna with green sprinkling on the side
