I intended my comment that Sean's food resembled Ryan Clift's food in its aesthetic to be a huge compliment to Sean.

The food at the terrace is plated with very steady hands and everything is placed exactly where it needs to be to look its best. I did mean that the food at the Fat Duck is plated in a much more ordered and regimented way with some things being symmetrical. This is a simple style difference, I did not intend to have a go at anyone.Piccalillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946879703530023484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-65806727601124266092010-04-01T15:48:34.317+11:002010-04-01T15:48:34.317+11:00Rita - for the first time I think EVER, when my in...Rita - for the first time I think EVER, when my inbox lobbed me an email saying there was a vaguely interesting seminar on in Launceston, I didnt disregard it out of hand.

Those familiar with the Fat Duck, Heston-style of food will be much better placed to say how Terrace food compares, but for (relatively unsophisticated) me, it was 'out there' - but most enjoyably so.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-3487682101476005652010-03-30T00:10:54.935+11:002010-03-30T00:10:54.935+11:00dont mean to sound rude but are you sure they were...dont mean to sound rude but are you sure they were just not taking the piss out of you???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-18796327864288589602010-03-29T18:34:32.259+11:002010-03-29T18:34:32.259+11:00absolutley.....your very welcome...oh there are so...absolutley.....your very welcome...oh there are some fabulouse Bordeaux's in our cellar<br /> winter food freefall.........im bubblingpeepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402209361803926014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-8775016247256629242010-03-29T18:29:20.107+11:002010-03-29T18:29:20.107+11:00Well Peeps,
