Decoration added to food or drink
Agyro sandwich garnished withmint leaves Agarnish is an item or substance used as a decoration orembellishment accompanying a prepared fooddish ordrink .[ 1] In many cases, it may give added or contrastingflavor . Some garnishes are selected mainly to augment the visual impact of the plate, while others are selected specifically for the flavor they may impart.[ 2] This is in contrast to acondiment , a prepared sauce added to another food item primarily for its flavor.

They may provide a color contrast, for example whenchives are sprinkled onpotatoes . They may make acocktail more visually appealing, such as when aMai Tai is topped with any number of tropicalfruit pieces. Sometimes a garnish and a condiment will be used together to finish the presentation of a dish; for example, anentrée could be topped with asauce , as the condiment, along with a sprig of parsley as a garnish.[citation needed ]
A garnish may be so readily identified with a specific dish that the dish may appear incomplete without the garnish. Examples include abanana split sundae withcherries on top orbuffalo wings served withcelery stick garnish andblue cheese dressing .[citation needed ]
