I disagree. Presentation can affect the perceived taste of the food. If you serve something that clearly looks like it belongs in the cafeteria of a mental institution, people's immediate subconscious opinion is going to be one of distaste. That can actually have an affect on what someone tastes.
Sorry you all, that was my weak attempt at sarcasm. I guess I came off too seriously.

I actually agree with you, and wish they would return to pre-setting the linens. The white serving ware does look quite nice with the black linens underneath. Is this a huge deal? No. But it would be nice.
