He starts the meal off with the classic Tudor drink, butterbeer, which has been made famous of late in the Harry Potter novels. Heston only makes one change to the classic recipe to make it seem more like the beer of today. As an appetizer, Heston wants to make a blancmange using a delicacy of the day: frog. In tasting a classic frog blancmange, Heston is underwhelmed, and thus is determined to use more of the frog meat in the actual final dish. And the dish will be presented in its "natural habitat". Because meat was so revered as food during the Tudor era, Heston plans on serving a cockentrice as the main course. Cockentrice is a mythical beast which is comprised of several different animals pieced together. He consults some plastic surgeons on how to construct such a beast so that it is structurally sound, and a taxidermist and a chemist to complete the presentation. For dessert, Heston makes a rice pudding, using both sweet and savory elements. He cooks it in a method so as to resemble what it would have been cooked in in Tudor times. With the entire meal, Heston has a challenge in pleasing one of his guests, Kelvin Mackenzie, who Heston knows does not generally like his food. Written by Huggo See less
