Actually, in high falutin' restaurants, it's normal practice
(and damned hard work) to trim the veg that are going to
be served on a plate very closely, and indeed to effectively
remove "good" parts purely for cosmetic reasons, or to make
sure that all the served pieces are the same size (which also
means they cook perfectly uniformly).

The trimmings from this process are not "garbage", or slimey,
but are cheap (effectively free), and are a fine candidate
for the stock pot.
