And the next time I see it happen, I am going to complain to the waiter and see what transpires. Just for larks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although I am not a foodblogger, I take pictures of my plate from time to time. It is a bit odd, I suppose, but if you are interested in food then it&#8217;s nice to see what people are eating, as well as reading their words about it. And I think that going to the trouble of taking a picture demonstrates a keen interest. Interest = good. I&#8217;m pleased that people are interested in what they are eating and drinking. If I was a chef, I&#8217;d be delighted if people were taking my creations seriously enough to snap them on their digital cameras and share them with the world.<\/p>\n<p>The picture above is from a meal at Umu, London&#8217;s top Kyoto-style restuarant, which was the location for the Koshu of Japan launch which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/koshuwines.htm\">I have just written up<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his latest restaurant review, Giles Coren has the following to say about foodbloggers taking photos of food: I think photographing one\u2019s food in a restaurant is easily as rude,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-restaurants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":743,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740\/revisions\/743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
