¿Qué haces con ver y no comer?

Esta expresión me gusta. ¿Cómo la dirían en inglés?

Ejemplo:

Juan -- Anoche vimos a Salma Hayek en Times Square. ¡Es un bombón!

Ricardo-- Bueno, ¿Y la saludaste o te dijo algo?

Juan-- ¡Qué va! La tenían rodeada. Creo que ni se dio cuenta de que yo estaba allí.

Ricardo --- ¿Y entonces qué haces con ver y no comer?

You can look but you can't touch.

You can look at the menu but you can't eat.

Si entiendo, hay muchas frases en inglés para expessar este idea.

Me encanta tu traducción. Se queda un poquito corta. ¿Qué haces con ver y no comer? means What's the point of looking if you can't touch! - gone, Feb 11, 2011

How about "craft/art" food for decoration or display - not for eating?
