FareShare gourmet dinner

We had the most incredible luck last week to be selected in a lottery to go to a dinner organised by Citroen in aid of FareShare, a food waste charity here in the UK.  Well, it was also to launch their car, but they don't need to know that we don't own a car over here do they!

The dinner was incredible - five courses for only £5!  And it was one of the most amazing gourmet experiences I've ever had.  It was cooked by the guy who won Masterchef here in the UK last year (not that I knew who that was) and was five courses - plus a few extra surprises - of awesome.  I was also really lucky to be allocated a table for six, so we could have some friends come along to share in the fun.

The whole thing was organised along the lines of the five senses, with each course representing a different one (like smell, taste, sound etc.).  I've tried to describe all the courses as they relate to their photo (click here to view the full album), but this blog does a good job of explaining the whole thing in detail.  Here's a teaser of the photos - a bacon lollipop!
