Fair judgement. The flavors might not be for everyone. The mindset behind the dish was to awaken the appetite and have the individual crave more food which is the main premise behind an appetizer. Everything on the plate from portion size to ingredients, even temperature, was meant to stimulate the palette and contrast flavors. The stuffed mushroom was savory and warm, mimicking the flavor of meat which would make you more hungry while not weighing your stomach down. The herb goat cheese cucumber prosciutto wrap was meant to be light and refreshing to offset the mushroom. the cilantro-lime vinaigrette shocks the taste buds and increases cravings much like how people eat something spicy and can't stop eating whatever it is. I hope that gives some insight into the choices I made for that dish.
