To be perfectly honest it's not at all appetizing looking... all that
food just doesn't look right all on the same plate, and those items
don't compliment each other... looks like a hungry hog raided the
fridge of a week's LOs for a late nite pig-out... made sure to put
plenty on that plate so they wouldn't have to get up from couch
potatoing. And even individually none of those items are properly
cooked. And you're certainly not into presentation, not a speck of
garnish, guess you didn't want to steal any room on that plate that
could be used for more food to stuff a big gut... that's definitely
not a dish of food for a formal dinner... looks like it's from an all
you can eat hog trough.... maybe that's how they fine-dine in Texas...
you need larger plates so it won't look so piggishly grotesque! oink,
oink, oink... LOL
