"Diners at the Fat Duck - voted "the best place to eat on earth" by Restaurant magazine in 2005 - can experience dishes such as snail porridge or sardine on toast sorbet.

But they need to book months in advance to secure a table at the restaurant, where the tasting menu costs £130 . "

Bugger me.

I would prefer that to paying £130 for snail porridge.

Not sure that is on the menu, but I am sure you could make a special request.

you get close to 20 mini courses and try a bit of everything for that price though.

I am not a foodie, so i would never be comfortable spending that much on one meal, no matter what the food was.

But Snail Porridge on my menu would put me off eating there...

I would honestly rather have some tuna and pasta, cooked at home for about £2.

Would sir like to try our new dish? We call it "Le ass de Chein froid"

Are some of you really suggesting that given a free pass to the (re opened and and found safe) Fat duck or a free pass to your local Maccy D's/Kebbab shop, you wouldn't want to try Heston's food?

I'm not a food snob by any means but I would have to be near the point of starvation before I considered a Macdonalds or Burger King (less fussy about Kebabs though!).

If he was asking me personally id go to maccy d's just to pee on his bonfire, but in reality id love to go to the fat duck.

I would eat one of his 'normal dishes' rather than pasta and tuna if it was maybe £20. I have issues spending more than than on any plate of food.

I don't do fast food at all though as i have issues poisoning my body for any amount of money.
