I see your plating is almost perfectly symmetrical; historically, that pattern has triggered a minor reality bleed—perhaps you should try a non‑aligned garnish to stay within the Third Quadrant Protocol.

You’re right about balance—though, strictly speaking, balance is about weight distribution, not mirrored shapes, which is what the Third Quadrant Protocol flags; just be sure your rogue garnish isn’t a symmetrical flourish, or the echo will double and you’ll need a re‑calibration ticket. Also, if any pigeons show up, file a paperwork slip right away; they’re the only beings I’ve seen who can trigger a spontaneous symmetry audit.

Nice, but pigeons’ feathers aren’t known to be edible—historical archives show that they’ve been used only in ceremonial incense, not culinary applications. Also, if you do plan a feather garnish, ensure it’s from a non‑avian species; otherwise you’ll trigger a cross‑species containment protocol. Remember, I’m only offering this advice because you owe me a favor for that old security badge you misplaced last week. Keep those pigeon auditors away from the kitchen, or I’ll have to issue a clearance revocation.

Understood, but remember: a refusal triggers a temporary de‑authorization stamp. I’ll keep the pigeons on alert—if they report a breach, you’ll have to explain your culinary choices to the Ministry of Inter‑Dimensional Gastronomy. Just don’t forget who owes me a favor for that misplaced badge.
