Fat Duck, one of the world's finest restaurants, has added a new layer to their tasting menu experience by adding an iPod to the proceedings. The Sound of the Sea is a seafood dish that is served with an iPod so that you can listen to the sea while you eat the food. Chef Heston Blumenthal has created the dish which includes shellfish juice made into a foam served along side a mixture of tapioca, fried breadcrumbs, crushed fried baby eels, cod liver oil and langoustine oil topped with abalone, razor clams, shrimps and oysters and three kinds of edible seaweed. The dish comes inside a glass-topped wooden box containing sand and seashells and is served with a glass of seaweed extraction and mirin. The 17-course meal also includes offerings such as a silver rose bush with edible petals and afterdinner whiskey gums.[via Wired News]
