@fuzzface100 Probably not. I'm guessing he is using a nutmeg, serano ham and olive oil puré, pops it in a pressure boiler for 6 hours, which he then sivs in order to make an incredibly clear stock which he sponges on his head.

@dhridhri IN THE FRIDGE... Oh wait...

Yes i always store a tank of dry ice under my kitchen sink. What would i have done without it...

Does he polish his head?

Wonder why your putting vodka in? NO HESTON! Thats what you do! You do things that noone else would even think of, so I'm not suprised. However, this does look delicious.

well thank god for dry ice. how else could we transfer cold energy? Why bother with all this 'cold fusion' rubbish when we can transfer all the cold energy we could ever need from dry ice?!

@PhsycedelicPhish: We went for it anyway, using the pre-frozen centre element of the icecream machine we simply used a whisk and a spatula until it had a slush consistency, put the whole lot back in the freezer for another hour then continued the process. For perfectionists like Heston Blumentahl the difference may be present, but our sorbet turned out as smooth and perfect as we've never tasted one before. This is also a point Heston makes himself: Just go for it and let yourself inspire!

Fructose is a natural fruit sugar.
When we eat fruit, we assume we are just getting the flavour of fruit, but we are actually getting all the flavours and tastes of the acids, sugars, aldehydes, etc within the fruit.
As a consequence, we associate fructose sweetness with fruit flavour. The implication here is that fructose, in the context of a fruity flavour, heightens that fruity flavour, due to association.
