The Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Heston Blumenthal's Victorian feast on channel 4 was fabulous. Any man wanting to make a real life version of the "Drink Me" Potion is worth paying attention to. Who else would even think to make the mythical aperitif of toffee, hot buttered toast, custard, cherry tart and turkey? Or a mock turtle soup pocket watch? The mix of alchemy, gastronomy and Victorian titillation was enthralling. Next week Medieval feast - can't wait.
