The Michelin Guide is renowned for it's prestigious star awards for (pretentious) restaurants that serve the world's best food.

To gain a Michelin star is like a culinary OBE. So when the Michelin Guide turns around and says that food trends have gone TOO FAR, you know things have gone too far. The guide tweeted a picture of what looked like muddied flip flop with a pingpong ball, with the caption 'enough now.'

It looks like it's been dug up from the beach

The 'dish' comes from a 2 Michelin Star restaurant called Falco in Leipzig, Germany:

OMG! German food magazine reports about this "dessert" of 2-star restaurant Falco in Leipzig. @WeWantPlates pic.twitter.com/cB8biGIIx9

It's supposedly a 'chocolate covered raspberry sorbet', but instead looks like something your dog would bring in from the garden. And Twitter didn't seem too impressed, with many people flipping out:

It's not "fun". It's not "clever". It doesn't evoke anything other than band-aids floating in swimming pools & sand in your pants. #no

I don't care how clean that is, or if it's never been used. That is revolting.

Some people did find the dish quite funny:

Is that the French guy Philipe Philop ?

@LeCreusetFiend is that supposed to be Beef Wellington?

Looks like Michelin might be regretting the 2 stars it's already given, as the restaurant seems like a bit of a flop...
