Last night - for the

Last night - for the first time in ages - we went out for a meal. To the Fat Duck; the menu was awesome. It started with some (fairly) normal ingredients and became increasingly bizarre:

  • Froth of green tea and lime
  • Grain mustard icecream with red cabbage gazpacho
  • Butternut soup with a fricassee of morel and butternut
  • Lasagne with (some sort of filling - I have no idea what it was!)
  • Green bean risotto with asparagus
  • Chocolate fondant and coconut sorbet on a bed of avocado risotto, with sweetcorn puree
  • Petits fours: crystallized red pepper lollipop wafers; basil blancmange, candied beetroot
  • Espresso; crystallized wafer with black olives; chocolates of American fermented pipe tobacco

Quite an experience.
