Does flash work, or only continuous light?

Yes, a continuous light from the side works, because you see the shadow before you shoot and you can move it. Flash straight on does not work on glassware or sauce: the reflection shows up in the file and you did not see it on the table.

If you already own a reportage flash, do not put it in front of the plate. In Madrid venues direct flash leaves a disc on the glass and that frame ends up on the menu. The selection comes from light you could see while shooting; the frame with the disc is not delivered.
