A Glimpse into Another World

What you see infront of you is the menu from one of the top restaurants in the world, Fat Duck.

For more information please read the 10 restaurants to try before you die post. Even though they have dropped from number one recently as the powerhouse restaurants , they still are still ranked top 10 in the world.

My sister in-law went to visit jolly old England and was gracious enough to bring back a menu for me. As you can see the menu comes in a sealed envelope with a wax seal. She tells me the prices are actually reasonable but can get out of hand if you decided to have wine pairings with each course. The menu is a set selection but appears to change with the seasons, and availability of ingredients. When she went their were two set courses to choose from.

Believed it or not, my sister in-law actually did not like all of the courses. She stated the food was probably above her understanding or taste. She not the type of person that enjoys Foie Gras. She thought they used too many foams in their dishes. The one course she was most impressed was the sound of the sea. It was a seafood dished served with a mp3 player that played the sounds of the oceans while you eat.

Someday, perhaps someday, I'll will be able to give you a true review. Till then here is a small glimpse into another culinary world.
