You're only allowed to choose one. Do you choose the meal that looks great, but is average in taste, or a thrown-together meal that tastes out of this world? I just throw food on the plate, but it tastes good. My husband likes to make his meals look like art. As long as it tastes good, I don't care how it looks.

I'd go for taste. No matter how pretty a plate is if it doesn't taste good your not going to want to eat it. LIVE IN PEACE

Looks is a bonus, the primary of a food is a taste. But, many people said that looks can make a better taste. So, if you can cook a good taste food, good looks will make that food be perfect food.

i usually belive that food that tastes good will look good. but not vice versa. weird. anyhow for me i would definitely choose taste over looks! the taste is the ultimate experience when dining and nothing should compromomise that.

i'd rather choose the taste than what it look... if you know the durian fruit that is even has a nasty odor as how ugly as it look in its fruit pulp too that is full of thorns but when you eat, so good that you are like eating a very creamy ice cream full of flavor!

I don't pay more attention to the look. I prefer to have a delicious taste for the food. I had eaten something really looked fantastic, but the taste was so-so. To me, eating is an enjoy. So I like to taste yummy food and it's the most important for me.
