Jay Rayner

What an enjoyable read this was. Jay Rayner, can be a bit of a twat from time to time, but is always unceasingly funny.

"Other things are the stuff of therapy. The canapé we are instructed to eat first is a transparent ball on a spoon. It looks like a Barbie-sized silicone breast implant, and is a “spherification”, a gel globe using a technique perfected by Ferran Adrià at El Bulli about 20 years ago. This one pops in our mouth to release stale air with a tinge of ginger. My companion winces. “It’s like eating a condom that’s been left lying about in a dusty greengrocer’s,” she says."

The worst part of this evocative statement is how I know exaaaactly what she is talking about. Oooh lar lar.
