The actress/columnist dined at a Michelin-star restaurant and gave her Twitter followers a blow-by-blow account of every course. At the end of her banquet, Victoria tweeted “Survived an 11-course culinary gangbang. Will now be writing to Michelin to demand they award Ivy an extra star. Phenomenal!”
Earlier, she wrote: “Duck, almond shavings, camomile and cherry sorbet. My mind is blown!” The first four ‘courses’ were actually hors d’oeuvres. “I now realise that there were four hors d’oeuvres. Now we come to the first course: caviar and chocolate!”
At the end of the meal, a fit-to-burst Victoria wrote: “You must do this once in your life. Even if it means eating nothing but dry bread for weeks beforehand!”
