Do food displays ever change your mind?

A big yes for me! Especially if they look as good as the picture above. It’s outside a rolling sushi restaurant which I was passing by. My mouth was instantly salivating, appetite growing, and before I knew it, I was inside the shop, like in a trance or something. Lol. However if the food display is blah, like the owner put it there just because, I can suppress my cravings. And it helps my pocket too. How about you? Do food displays look this good in your country?

Food displays look delicious in this country, but different. Most people here would not salivate in front of those things.

The last time I succumbed to those cravings was when I saw a fast food restaurant a hamburger. I went in and bought the worst hamburger ever.

Food displays vary so much here from store to store. There is such a huge variety that I’m always tempted.

Food displays are a big deal here. Most restaurants have plastic food models in their windows to attract customers.

@sol_cee Are those plastic in your photo? Bakeries and gourmet food stores usually display real products. So cruel. lol

I will make my meal choices based on food displays. Sometimes it makes it easier to make a choice. I just tell the waiter or waitress, "I'll have what's on display!"

@sol_cee I like just about every type of food, so I usually don't have specific preferences, so it makes it easier to just point to a photo on the menu or a display in the case and tell them that's what I want.

Yes! Food displays can really change my mind. Hihihi Most of the time, they attract me. That display looks so good but are those uncooked? That could also change my mind. Hihihi

Yes, of course. My eyes eat, too. I would surely get an appetite for eating that sushi when I see that like in the photo above.

Agree! Our eyes eat too. And sometimes our eyes make the decision whether to order a dish or not.

Sometimes if the display is not that great but if you are a frequent customer and you have foreknowledge of the taste you can order safely. If it's a new place, yes, the display affects my choices. I can be tempted.I have never tried sushi.

True! And the waiters/staff maybe don’t have to ask what your order is because they already know.

I love the good displays and smells at the deli department when I get in the store. But sushi would not tempt me. yuck

That's a marvellous display but I don't like sushi. But yes I would be influenced by the way things are displayed.

I have never tried sushi but I am curious about it. Some food displays here, especially bakeries are quite tempting.

Oh yes, how nicely the food is displayed makes a difference for me, too. Have you tried each of those? I admit I tried sushi, I really did try to like it. It's not for me though
