Open your Fortnum's country hamper and gently
surprise a sparkling metal container of Highgrove organic, slow-baked,
hickory smoked, haricot beans dans a Mediterranean sun-caressed-tomato
and pure pressed olive oil dressing. Tease container reverentially
from its wicker cage as if bemusing a taut badger.
Slowly awaken the freshly baked dewy-eyed bread from its darkened
yeasty slumber, filled with dreams of Parmesan and ornate anchovy
shavings. Step till pliable and warm crust using a Louis XIIII
spoon-backed chef's entrecote ladle.
At this point it is wondrous to stand back and savour the delicious
images of the forthcoming culinary coup de gras. One is immediately
reminded of Salvador Dali standing erect before a blank white
canvas, just waiting for the sensual gouache splashes to transform
the sketchpad of the mind into a heady musk filled masterpiece.
