OK I'm curious to know fruit buffet etiquette here.... like, if I walked up and took that fruit monkey and the dragon fruit fish, brought them back to my table, and ate them... would that be frowned upon?
Once it's on the table, its all free game. The kids loved to eat any of the carvings eyeballs ALL THE TIME. It was like a bet to see how fast someone would eat the eyes of a carving. Sometimes the adults would be guilty.
The half-peeled rambutans are a nice touch. Also the manageable grape clusters, mangos, and PLUMS! More importantly, it looks like good, ripe fruit, not just a flavorless melon-slicing display. Yay
Our old mexican buffet chef was a savant, could take an orange and turn it into a masterpiece. We had a pumpkin carving contest at work and he self banned himself from entering since it wouldnt be a contest at all. Just another day at work for him.
And for u/Imkindaalrightiguess & anyone else who doesn't understand the "jacuzzi" mentions--the origin of "The Carrot Jacuzzi" is that bowl of shreds, with the Olive "floating" on top😉
I spent the first 3 hours of my 15 hour days in corporate/concert/event catering land making fruit trays and shit
Just filling up giant ass boards that would get shrink wrapped to shit with 4 servers carrying them to the transport and a dozen plus platters going to different places. The old Mexican dude I worked with would tag team it with me and he'd start the day off with "ah the fruit... Today I do melons.... You do rest"
Sure thing Jose whatever dude. We'll swap tomorrow
