So I'm doing my first KCBS competition in 2 weeks after doing two MBN comps this year so far. I have read some threads on here in my brief garnish research.
I have a few questions. First is for the KCBS judges out there. Keep in mind I do fully plan to garnish, but in general.............. If you don't garnish does that really matter? Does appearance get knocked if there is no garnish?
Then what is the most simple effective way of picking parsley to put in the box? I've read of people taking hours for each box to make them look perfect. Since I've done well in my first 2 MBN comps I want to take this seriously, but couldn't fathom taking hours to pick parsley.
Finally I know you can use certain lettuce and should I just go this route and what would be the easy way to do lettuce? What lettuce can you use?
