Great menu outrage competition - the winners

Sifting through the entries it was easy to arrive at three worthy winners

From Jo: 'Cured carpaccio and tartare of red tuna, spring onions marinated in sesame seed oil, tomato tartare with vanilla, yoghurt and Sichuan pepper ice cream' - W'sens   (No wonder W'sens is now defunct, we just weren't ready for such gastro-extravagance)

From Lorraine, a double header from Bacchus: "Fresh calamari linguini 'blanco y negro', black paella paint, candied garlic and lemony mayonnaise sponge"  and  "Cinnamon rubbed pork tenderloin cooked at low heat, pureed leeks, mangosteen, wasabi and rose froth, wild rocket and salty caramel"

(Lorraine also commented that the menu items were found in, "Hoxton, home of pretentious nonsense where my local dodgy boozer has metamorphosis into an overpriced gastro-pub - The Bacchus" ) As Lorraine didn't leave an email contact we may be forced to drink her prize if she doesn't get in touch at present we do not know where to send it. Leave a note via the comment file please Lorraine)

From Christine (who found the item at the new Southbank branch of Benugo): "A pint of sausage rolls" - and who said British food was uninspiring?

Next week we'll kick off another thrilling instalment
