Garnishry

/ˈɡɑːrnɪʃri/ noun

Definition

A collective term for decorative foods and garnishes used in cooking, or the practice and art of garnishing dishes.

Etymology

From 'garnish' plus the suffix '-ry' (indicating a practice, craft, or collection of items), similar to 'pottery,' 'archery,' or 'flattery.'

Kelly Says

While 'garnishry' is extremely rare in modern English, it would have made perfect sense to Victorian chefs who thought of garnishing as a serious culinary art form!
