A new challenge to the world's chefs and the consumers' wallets. Heston Blumenthal's famous Fat Duck restaurant is due to reopen.
We drove to Bray, rather far from London, just for the day, and peaked through the window of the restaurant which was fully booked and beyond our budget. I certainly enjoyed the modified meal at his other place which was in the same area, the nearby pub which was less expensive. I wasn't impressed by the triple cooked chips.
A couple of days ago we made potato chips at home and discussed why potatoes have to be cooked twice. The first cooking is to cook through the inside of thick cut chips, on a lower light. The second cooking, on a higher light, is to brown and crisp the outside. However, we can't see the point of cooking a third time.
Nonetheless, I love the famous chefs and Michelin restaurants. I'm always looking for the chance to try something new in design and flavour.
The Christmas pudding with the citrus inside from Waitrose was wonderful and affordable. The chocolate Easter egg from Waitrose with the edible straw was also amusing and inventive. I look forward to hearing about the Fat Duck when it opens. I might even drive there and peer through or at the windows.

(potato) chips - French fries
