That's the place where they had that food poisoning outbreak. But I'm sure they've sorted it out. Wink

THE FAT CAT IS NOT AMUSED

..OR IS IT?


Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

Don't cats like to eat ducks (like duck cat food, stuff you can buy in the pet store)?

What a meal I had. Went for the tasting menu and it totally blew me away.

Starts off with a sorbet to cleanse the pallet. A bowl of liquid Nitrogen is wheeled out and they put the sorbet thingy in it and shuffle it around in the nitrogen for a few seconds, whack it on your plate and you pick it up with your fingers and eat it.

I could go on but there is just too much to tell.

The only part I didn't enjoy the taste of was parsnip cereal, I HATE parsnips but gave it a go anyway but just don't like the taste.

Well worth the money, well worth the trek to the other end of the country for.

Will upload photos in a bit.

EDIT. And Bradley from Eastenders was on the table next to us. Just thought i'd add that useless info in too.

Well it's commonly known that any kind of experiment including liquid nitrogen will have "wow" effect.
Last week, we were doing experiments with liquid nitrogen in uni, and altho we all know what's working, and how it's done, that didn't stop us from having that "ice frosting" look in our eyes Laughing
