A strange culinary feast at W'Sens

It saw the likes of El Bulli's Albert Adri, Claude Bosi and Jacques and Laurent Pourcel cook for such gastronomic legends as Heston Blumenthal and Raymond Blanc.

We doubt if anyone can remember what was actually cooked, though, as guests were rather distracted by the "inter-course" entertainment. Scantily-clad, nubile Italian women were sent out to titillate diners in between each course. Why the girls started off in French knickers and camisoles and ended up in nothing more than pants and braces is anyone's guess - the food was a weird enough talking point already. We are pleased to report that Heston Blumenthal politely averted his gaze, while Raymond Blanc... well, what do you think? Sadly, far too many other men, well past their prime, felt the need to whip out their mobile phones and take a little bit of video footage for posterity. Perhaps we should be glad that was all they whipped out.
