Heston's Feast

[Leah]

Anyone watching?

I am absolutely fascinated! What ever is he going to think of next :shock:

I am completely awed by his love of theatrical presentation, and the ideas/methods he uses..... but I haven't seen a single thing presented yet that I would ever want to eat [except the edible cutlery and marzipan walnuts!]

The rest of the dishes are so inventive they could be in museum.... but the thought of actually drinking that layered milk 'gel' or eating the lamprey :catsick:

Perhaps I am too coloquial for Heston's vision? :catshifty: I want my potatoes without kaolin coating please!

I saw that last week - just incredible :)

I think he is converting a pig into a "mythical creature" this week :)

Didnt he poison everyone in his restaurant a couple of weeks ago?

LOL Anna yes he did!!!!

I watched the Victorian feast a couple of weeks ago - i LOVED the jelly being wobbled by vibrators!

And the alice in wonderland drink he did with all the different parts - genius!

He had to close down because over 100 people got sick, but nobody can work out why ! Environmental health got involved and they did numerous tests but found nothing wrong, so he has reopened but as a precaution, they are not selling some seafood items.

Crickey!! I wonder what happened there? Seafood is notorious for food poisoning though! :(

He's very talented, but not sure I'd eat anything he cooks? I shall watch next time :)

The number of reported cases of D and V has risen to 400 now! :shock:

Tests on food and staff have found nothing, this article has someone suggesting the place could be infected with Noro Virus :catsick1:
