Synopsis
Heston compiles his Ultimate Feast by looking back at the dishes he created in his first series of incredible banquets, and picking his favorites. For an appetizer he explores the food trickery of the Middle Ages, and re-invents a classic dish called meat fruit: literally meat disguised to look like fruit, including juicy plums made from bulls' testicles. For his starter Heston picks out the mesmerising mock turtle soup from his trippy Victorian Feast, including a golden pocket watch which magically dissolves to form the stock for the soup. For the centre piece Heston travels back to the court of Henry VIII, to create the legendary edible monster known as a cockentrice. And to cap it all off, Heston returns to Ancient Rome, and perhaps the sauciest dish in culinary history: the ejaculating cake. Last in the series.
