Feeding Frenzy
Mealtimes get a makeover.

Strawberries with cream, picnics in the park and canapés in the courtyard – a gastro-spread which only points to one thing – summer. But if traditional fare isn’t tickling your taste buds, there’s a new crop of quirky cuisine to tempt you off the lawn.

Or as it happens - to the critters living on it. If you couldn’t find the gap-year guts to try Thailand’s street stall savouries, The London Kitchen’s calling you out on your cowardice. Try green crickets in coriander and coconut cream, scorpions in a white chocolate fondue, ostrich niçoise and bison carpaccio, and calmer canapés including ham hock and mini Yorkshire puddings at their travelling pop-up bar.

And if you’re over dreary dinner parties, Courvoisier Future 500 has the antidote. The follow-up to last year’s amazing Architectural Punch Bowl comes in the form of Courvoisier Presents The Complete History of Food with Bompas & Parr. Transforming an entire house, chefs and creatives from the likes of Saf, Lounge Bohemia and Bistrotheque are inviting visitors to eat their way through the past and future of food via flooded dining rooms, giant sugar sculptures and dinner in the belly of a dinosaur.

But if all you need to make your menu magical is a mind-altering morsel, check out The Rebel Dining Society’s ‘Pernod Absinthe Green Hour’, a fantastical five course meal with green stuff to spare. Access to the fairy is limited and by invitation only, so register online and see if you get lucky – unlike London’s insect inhabitants. Go on, take a bite.  

UJ have one pair of seriously coveted tickets for the Rebel Dining Society’s ‘Pernod Absinthe Green Hour’ on the 28th July to give away. To be in with a chance of winning simply tell us: Which songstress played the green fairy in Moulin Rouge?

THE Culturist: July
What to do and where to go this month

In the immortal words of Mr George Benson, there’s music in the air. And lots of loving everywhere… Okay, so whilst we can’t technically guarantee that latter part, with enough of the former (and July is looking killer in that respect) and the gorgeous weather we’re blessed with, the chances of the rest of it aren’t looking too shabby.
