For my special birthday surprise weekend away my friends took me to Slough, where we had a cup of coffee at the Costa in the Queensmere shopping centre! Then we hadlunch! Then we went home!
Oh, nitrogen, not nitro-glycerine or some other bad-tasting chemical! That makes sense now.
Damn, that fish mousse and the ginger and mango cornet sound good. I'd go for the custardy ice cream too, hold the ham. I do note they seem to have a thing about mangoes on that menu, but I like them. though I prefer them with savoury foods like teriyaki chicken than with sweet. I've had crisp parsnip shavings over meals before, so I know the cereal would work well.
There's too much ham and shellfish--and snails--on that menu to make it worth my while though. :-)
mraltariel has done a better job explaining the liquid nitrogen and the cornet than I could manage. Interesting that mangoes seem a key ingredient to you: we noticed there was lots of beetroot throughout, but they've not listed on the menu one item that we had, which were two little jellies, one beetroot and one orange.
Interesting except for my dislike of the texture of jellies. Weren't beets once used for their sugar?
I see mango appears only once, but mraltariel said it was in the cornet too, and I misread one of his comments to understand it was in the salmon mousse as well. I find it's so sweet, I prefer it in a savoury dish.
I discovered you had another link to the restaurant. I'm surprised a man called Blumenthal offers so much treyf. ;-)
