A dish inspired by Dante's circles of hell: an outer ring of chives and parsley, a second of capers, a third of minced onion, and anchovies marking the inner cordon. At the center, place cold mashed potatoes crowned with raw egg yolks.

Boil six eggs until firm, cool, and peel. Halve them, scoop yolks into a bowl, and mix with mayo, mustard, vinegar, and seasoning until smooth. Fill the whites with this mixture, creating a spiced parody of their former vitality.

Strip pheasant breasts from their skeletal confines and set aside with the remaining flesh and livers. Brown the breasts in butter, add stock and port, and poach until tender. Mince the rest, mix with jus, veal, shallots, garlic, brandy, and cream. Steam until bland. Serve apologetically

Lay six salmon cutlets in a cold pan, drowning them in burgundy. Poach until they lose their life, then drain them, cold and still. Add fish stock to the pan, reduce to a dark, thickened broth. Pour in cream, season with salt and pepper, and serve with peas, mushrooms, and potatoes.

Combine 2lb damsons, 1.5 pints water, and 1lb sago in a pan. Boil, stirring as stones surface. Remove, crack them, and return their kernels. Sweeten with sugar, then pour into a mould. Bake at 160°C until a thick, blood-red paste forms. Serve hot or cold, if you can bear to taste it.

Begin with spinach, washed but tainted. Cook until it wilts into darkness, drain, and blend to a paste. Whip eggs with parmesan, veal, salt, and a hint of dread. Bake the mixture in a buttered mould at 150°C for 45 minutes. Serve the cold, crusted dish—eerily like cheese, yet profoundly unsettling.

Enshroud a dish with lettuce & pour in 2lb of peas. Add caster sugar, stock and seasoning then seal their fate with a lettuce lid, and plunge into an oven at 160C. When it reaches the consistency of a swampy mire discard the flaccid leaves & add mayo & coffee cream. Serve with sinister gloating
