Fat Duck Tuesday

On Saturday we are getting married. A day we’ve been looking forward to since we got engaged 18 months ago in Australia. We thoughts we’d finish off our life as single people in style with the Tasting Menu at the Fat Duck in Bray. The Fat Duck is legendary for having a crazy menu built from the ground up to challenge your senses. It certainly did not disappoint, it lived up to all the hype and was truly fantastic! The menu never gets a full refresh but it is constantly tweaked. Here’s the 14 courses that we experienced:

LIME GROVE
Nitro Poached Green Tea and Lime Mousse RED CABBAGE GAZPACHO
Pommery Grain Mustard Ice Cream JELLY OF QUAIL, CRAYFISH CREAM
Chicken Liver Parfait, Oak Moss and Truffle Toast SNAIL PORRIDGE
Jabugo Ham, Shaved Fennel ROAST FOIE GRAS
Rhubarb, Braised Konbu and Crab Biscuit MOCK TURTLE SOUP (c.1850)
"Mad Hatter Tea" "SOUND OF THE SEA" SALMON POACHED IN LIQUORICE
Artichokes, Vanilla Mayonnaise, Golden Trout Roe and Manni Olive Oil POWDERED ANJOU PIGEON (c.1720)

And of course, I snapped a few pictures a long the way.
