An explosive meal

Take cover: “Heavenly Heston” (Observer Food Monthly, last week), said: “Heston Blumenthal is known as the mad kitchen scientist who cooks with nitroglycerin and puts snails in his porridge” and went on to speculate that his Christmas might include “a turkey jelly, perhaps frosted with nitroglycerin”. Glycerine and liquid nitrogen feature in Mr Blumenthal’s spectacular culinary delights, not high explosive. Please don’t try this at home. Happy Christmas. Link
