I completely understand where you are coming from. As a judge, I honestly don't look at garnish at all when judging. People will say they don't , but they do. We had a DQ recently because one team didn't understand the rules. Per new KCBS rules, I judged the box anyway for the meat and it looked pretty good. Even with the DQ. You go out to eat in a nice place and they serve all their food on white plates. Food looks infinetly better on a white surface than on a green or dark one. If they could find a way to use something other than styrofoam, I think the field would be alot more level.
