Heston's Titanic Feast, 20/4/10

"This would not be an Escoffier dessert, fit for the Titanic, without a flambé"

To remove the liquid from the flambe process gas was contained in bubbles and then ignited. For the final desert (an edible iceberg) Heston used egg whites with propane bubbled into it but in earlier experiments he used washing up liquid and methane.
