Snacking high on the food chain

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 had lunch! Then we went home!

[livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. ;-)
