  1. How come that so many dishes are so valued for over decades. The most wonderful dishes are invented out of poverty and still highly valued today.

    This kind of video's make me sick, because they remind you of how poor we are. There are a few people on this earth who can afford such a meal. Moreover, when I see this kind of videos. Heston travels around the world to determine his theme on a dinner. A lot of trial and errors follows, before the final dinner is created. Any idea of how much this will cost. It's disgusting. Yes, Heston, you're a genious in a certain way. And that is the way of entertaining the disgustingly rich.

    For the rest, Heston is for me a tool of the elite. Not very genious and not of any use for the common people, certainly over the top and the common people can't judge his dishes, because they're simply to expensive. We can all create a myth with an unlimited budget. And that is what Heston is, a myth, a whole bunch of nothing.

  2. Heston! I dunno WTH you're doing now as theres been no posts for 8yr but you have to check out Tech Ingredients channel as he is making 'optical chocolate'! Using the diffractive properties of Chocolat (its Sugar primarily), Science and Food come together in a very modern way!
