I just came across this, it's on channel 4 right now, I'm sure it'll be repeated, but here's the info. Bill Paterson is one of the dinner guests ![]() ..... Heston Blumenthal continues his gastronomic adventure through time, stopping off in the medieval era In the Middle Ages, food was used as a source of entertainment and escape from the harsh realities of everyday life and chefs dazzled and delighted privileged guests with incredible feats of dinner table magic. In this episode, Heston creates a magical feast for celebrity diners including chef Andi Oliver, actor Bill Paterson, choreographer Craig Revel Horwood, Germaine Greer and actor John Thomson. The feast starts with a bowl of seemingly fresh fruit that is actually made from meat: including the other sort of 'plums' - made from bull's testicles and pork; an 'orange' featuring a base of chicken liver; 'apples' formed from mince pork; and a bunch of Parma ham 'grapes' on the vine. Heston's entrée is lamprey, an eel-like fish that is no longer available in Britain, but still loved in Latvia, where Heston travels to catch and cook the ugly, slippery things. For the main course Heston serves blackbirds baked in a pie. Pies were an invention of the Middle Ages; and at court were often super-sized to allow for amazing presentations and stuffed with anything from frogs and snakes to dwarves. Blackbirds are illegal to cook with, so Heston chooses pigeons. He creates a giant pie, and fills it with individual smaller pigeon pies, and then tops them with live pigeons ready to fly out as the giant pie lid is lifted. For pudding Heston creates an incredible array of edible tableware including: chocolate cutlery filled with a ginger and chocolate ganache, dusted in edible silver powder; edible napkins made from icing; candles made from white chocolate and filled with caramel sauce; and 'pork pie' ice cream. -> http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/heston-blumenthal/feast/about-heston-s-medieval-feast-09-03-10_p_1.html |

I managed to catch this by chance while I was busy, the tv was on in the background, I noticed Bill Paterson, I noticed it was a weird cooking programme, and I was hooked ![]()
Yeesh, I wouldn't mind some of those! I need to befriend Heston, so I can be invited to these gloriously inventive dinner parties. With Bill Paterson. |

Why did I not see this? I love weird food, and Bill Paterson! Was he just a guest, did he say anything about eating candles and forks?
