It's easy to laugh, but the last time I went out to a Michelin-starred 7-course dinner (Portland Restaurant, in London, 10/10 no notes) I was absolutely stuffed by the end. A couple of the courses were just a bite or two but by the time you're done, and by the time you've consumed all of the wine from the pairing menu it's a lot.
This year I did a 21 course event at a 2 star restaurant, and it was awesome. People who mock these tiny portions don't understand what the full experience is like. After 21 tiny courses, I felt very satisfied that I had eaten a full meal, but that meal was the first bite of the best thing you've ever eaten, 21 times.

Don't leave us in suspense: what is it? and how did it taste?
