The mystery dish
Now that I'm home and on a computer where the resolution is such that I can actually see the art I'm publishing, I took another look at a photo I posted earlier today and said to myself, "What is that dish?"
I'll repost it here for your viewing convenience. Feel free to give us your best guess.

I thought the vertical food thin had finally passed?

Random hunks of meat on boiled potatoes with a marmite sauce on caramel?

At first I thought it was caramel sauce streaked across the plate but that sure doesn't look like any dessert I would wanna eat. Looks more like a deconstructed corned beef (very fatty corned beef) sitting atop two splendid white potatoes and a mess of way-overcooked cabbage, napped with talons of owl meat gravy. Also on the table is a cup of low-salt V8 gazpacho accompanied by one of Angelina's crabcakes after the recipe was sold. As for the wine, who knows? We can only hope it came from Kermit Lynch.

It's too fancy for me to even guess.

Very nice, Laura Lee. You've parodied a current culinary trend and added more in-jokes than you have punctuation.
Very nicely done!

Delightful LL. I was on Laura Lissa Lee's wavelength of caramel corned beef.
Why not caramel? I saw something on Kitchen Nightmares where a chef was making garlic shrimp with chocolate sauce, as in Psycho-prop-blood Hershey's chocolate sauce.
Do you get the impression that something unholy and violent just happened to the left of the plate?

Thanks Lissa! You know I don't like to overdo the commas.

My family hereafter will always refer to cabbage as 'Louisiana lettuce'.
My 20 y/o niece, visiting from Louisiana, was at the store with her uncles recently, and was sent to get lettuce for a salad. She met them at the cashier with cabbage, and the dodo uncles didn't notice.
So now we will have corned beef and Louisiana lettuce for our St. Patrick's day annual dinners.

I like Lissa's guess - that's what it looks like to me too. It also looks like an ear of corn under the random hunks of meat.

I could only guess what Louisiana beef would be.

Various items from the back of the bottom shelf of the fridge.
