Tuna Miq'abob description issue

No, but pepper isn't a garnish, it's a seasoning. Pepper of any kind, ground or just sliced changes the taste of the dish completely.

When it says ripe peppers its talking about either the vegetable or in fact chili type peppers, which yes when ground is a seasoning but it doesn't say ground pepper.

While peppers themselves may not be a garnish. Typical shish kebob is a heck of alot better looking and more appealing (garnished) when peppers are added.

I didn't specifically say ground. I said ground OR sliced. Even a sliced pepper, when put on the stick with the rest of the ingredients(again, this is a kabob recipe) will mix flavoring. That's not garnishing. If you're going to garnish something, you're typically adding it after it's on the plate, like parsley flakes or a drizzle of a very mild sauce around the food, but never touching it just to show less white on the plate itself. Garnish is not part of the recipe, however using a ripe pepper on nothing more than a stick, is part of the recipe itself.

Typically, but not always. Anything can be considered "garnish", could just be for looks or taste, or both. If you simply just had meat on a stick it looks rather rudimentary, add some flare (garnish) to it like grilled peppers and onions it suddenly becomes more embellished and looks great, not to add tastier also. As I'm sure you know, with food looks are a huge part of the meal. It just looks better with the peppers on it, so it can be considered a garnish to the meat.

Again, if you're altering the taste, you're not garnishing it, you're seasoning it. The moment you use something to change taste(and pepper, when cooked on a stick with meat will ALWAYS change taste) it is no longer a garnish, it's a seasoning agent.

I agree, garnishing a dish makes the visual appeal wonderful. They say you need to be able to eat a dish with your eyes, as well as your mouth, to fully enjoy it. But when you're changing the taste, that's not garnish and should be added into the ingredient list, or ex'ed out of something that has to be cooked together, as again, a kabob is cooked together, and it's on a stick, nothing more.

I don't know why I'm doing this but:


garnish
[gahr-nish]

verb (used with object)
1.to provide or supply with something ornamental; adorn; decorate.

2.to provide (a food) with something that adds flavor, decorative color, etc.:
to garnish boiled potatoes with chopped parsley.

noun
4.something placed around or on a food or in a beverage to add flavor, decorative color, etc.

5.adornment or decoration.

Now I want a shish kebob. All this food talk.

Garnish is ALWAYS for the visual appeal of a dish. If you're altering the flavor, you're talking about seasoning and spicing it.
