Damien Hirst is answerable for many issues, however we by no means thought we’d see a dessert impressed by the ever-present British artist. Hirst’s epic sculpture of Medusa at Bacchanalia, a Greco-Roman restaurant in London’s Mayfair, has impressed an extravagant new pudding on the restaurant costing £50. “The culinary director Athinagoras Kostakos has made an ideal copy utilizing a mini mould, which is an actual duplicate of the sculpture overhead. The dessert, which depicts a head of snakes, combines coconut and tonka cream with unique fruit and crunchy cocoa nibs,” says a restaurant assertion. Hirst’s 5 sculptures are dotted round Bacchanalia and are as understated as ever… simply kidding! The huge items depict a winged lion, a unicorn mounted by a pair of winged lovers, one other unicorn, Medusa and naturally Bacchus. The Greco-Roman theme is taken to the intense with 2,000-year-old artefacts on present amongst the diners. We’ll have the carpe diem with chips please.
