If its devoid of moisture then the dessert becomes a desert?

I am not Japanese and I am not adverse to unusual serving platters and even I would be highly put off being served any food in a shoe.

OK, cultural offenses aside, what sort of pretentious douche bag chef comes up with this bullshit? Fuck you, dude.

It’s not necessarily devoid of precedent.

I’ll have a go at it.
Chef likely thought they wanted to be clever about presenting chocolates from around the world to impress these politicians. Around the world? Like traveling? Hmmm… Walking… travelling… What about a shoe? Nah that would be seen as gross even with a new shoe. I know, let’s make it a metal shoe. “I’m a damn genius” he said to himself as he gave himself a high five.

Yeah, neither are beer bongs with out precedent, but they don’t belong at a restaurant fancy enough to serve world leaders.
Or was this a hazing ritual? I am confused now…
Hmm - you left out the part where he starts smelling his own farts…

Aren’t shoes kind of an offensive thing to Middle Eastern cultures as well? Pressing the sole of your shoe to someone’s face, throwing shoes at western presidents, etc?

Guy should hand in his chef card for that presentation.
Also, made me think of this:
Wait, so it wasn’t served in something shaped like a shoe, but an actual damn shoe. WTF. Shoes are dirty, inside and out. You don’t have to be Japanese to find that gross and unappetizing. This whole “unorthodox platters” fad has now undeniably jumped the shark.
This manages to be soooo much worse than any of those.
