Having watched some of his TV cookery programmes I am not all that surprised at the cost, in one he made a cup and saucer of chocolate in which he served the rest of the desert.
I have never even attempted to copy a dish of his as life is much to short but they certainly look wonderful.

The House of the Four Seasons is really the way to go, and following a parallel path - less of a toll road, would solve many of the worlds ills.
The habit of having just what you fancy whenever you fancy is 'costing the earth'.
On top of which the link between us and that which we eat is being cut-through so as to be all but severed entirely.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

indeed lesley especially if it was in a crusty white roll with butter.
even if i was blue barry i wouldn't pay 500 quid for a meal, i would imagine 50 quid would provide a repast fit for a king.

I found a Michelin listed restaurant in the Midlands recently which offers a two course lunch for £14.99 a head. I had their crab and lobster fishcake to start, followed by a Wagyu rump steak. Included in the price was a bottle of beer or a glass of house wine. It was fabulous. You can keep the expensive places.

good point peter and if i may be allowed to say that the "eight bells" does a curry with a pint for about 6 quid once a week.
can't go far wrong with that.
