The list is clearly not all about the food though. St John must be in the list because it pioneered the resurgence of offal. The Ivy is only in because of the celeb factor. The food is good but not stellar.
The Waterside Inn and Manoir aux Quat Saisons (I wasn’t paying
) do have outstanding food.The pudding selection at the Waterside was fantastic (runs out of appropriate adjectives)

no thanks!
killer b said:are you in london? he buys them in from l'artisan du chocolat near sloane square. best chocolates in the country, no contest.
ooh really? cool might pop down there then. have you tried rococco chocolates btw? i don't really eat chocolate but their flavoured bars are really nice - the dark chocolate with chilli is good, as is the black pepper one and the milk chocolate with salt. oh and the lavendar-flavoured one.
one bar lasts me over a month mind!!
edit: ah just had a look at their site, it says they only make those flavours on request
still, the earl grey tea flavour looks interesting, as does the green cardamom one ... will still probably pop along ...
the earl grey is good - they had some tobacco when i was last in (about 2 weeks ago), so you may be in luck. also, the salted caramel is to die for. and the iranian lime... actually, they're all fucking lush. go in and spend a tenner on a random selection, you won't regret it...

My uncle is Heston Blumenthals scientific advisor
He (my uncle) used to be head of physics at Bristol uni and is also a keen chef, he had a slot on C4s "Food File" years ago where he showed loads of cool tips and tricks you could do in the kitchen if you knew the things going on at a molecular level. He also does some pretty amazing tricks with a microwave
Anyway, he got involved with Heston and has helped him research and create some of the more way out dishes.
They've just released a drink that is cold when you drink from one side of the glass and warm from the other
If enough people are serious about going I'll give him a ring and get him to sort us out a table

Me and Wolfie would be up for it but we need plenty of warning for likely dates as coming from Wales will mean it's going to be at least a two day event.
Oh, plus we'd have to book the dogs in kennels etc.
i'd be interested tho i'm not sure if we can afford the tasting menu! any chance of a lunchtime visit, otherwise we'll have to stay over? also, how does one get to bray if one doesn't drive?
edit: ah, my last question answered -
"At Paddington Station, take the 40-50 minute train to Maidenhead. From the station to The Fat Duck is about a five-minute taxi ride."

one of my friends and I are obsessive about parsnips, they're just sooo delicious, and we thought that parsnip ice cream eith honey and cinnamon might be nice
undettered by not owning an icecream maker or having a large freezer she turned up at mine a couple of days ago with parsnip ice cream (only she'd made it by mixing vanilla ice cream with grated parsnip
) so, er it tasted like vanilla icecream with bits of parsnip in 
In my vision, the parsnips will have been caramelised by being roasted until almost burnt and then simmered till gooey in honey and balsmic vinegar with a generous amount of cinnamon and possibly cloves and cummin, I bet it would taste lovely
