Forget how it tastes, is it getting enough love on Instagram?
We live in a different world now. Decades ago, taking a picture of food, getting the film developed, and mailing it to your friends and family would be a very strange occurrence.
But now, thanks to the likes of Instagram (literally), sharing pics of your food before you eat it is all part of the social media norm.
