Never eat the garnish.
But parsley is also over-rated.

Ah, garnish yes a fair point & indeed you are correct - eating the garnish would be a sheer mug's go...and I guess understand the concept of garnish for something unremittingly dull like...pumpkin soup perhaps - which could be considered the tax accountant of the food world. Don't agree with it, mind - but I understand...Much as I understand why tax accountants are often found wearing tartan dickie-bow ties - both things done under the misapprehension that it makes them more 'interesting'.

However, if you want to make a club sandwich sexier - just slap on a slice of cheese...Mmmmm oh yes, sexy, sexy cheese!...But for fuck's sake - why give it a wee bunch of flowers??

If I can't eat it - get it the fuck off my plate and put another chip there is my firm philosophy!

I am with you on this one 100%.

Nearly any food can be made to look attractive without resorting to garnish, but that doesn't stop many people.
