This whimsical dish by Heston Blumenthal was part of his take on the ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ from Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ It is based on a Victorian dish for the middle class – a calf’s head boiled in beef broth; a cheaper substitute for the expensive turtle. Here, a pocket watch made of gold foil was added, after which the broth was poured.
