About Heston

Heston is a suburban area and part of the Hounslow district in the London Borough of Hounslow. The residential settlement covers a slightly smaller area than its predecessor farming village, 10.8 miles (17.4 km) west south-west of Charing Cross and adjoins the M4 motorway but has no junction with it; Heston also adjoins the Great West Road, a dual carriageway, mostly west of the "Golden Mile" headquarters section of it. Heston was, historically, in Middlesex.

His mum was interviewed — there was this piece in the Mail about this electric forecourt service station thing — and his mum said they were driving back from the hospital, they didn't have a name for him, and they drove through Heston services.

  2. If you cook chips there, you get the absolute perfect crispiness and fluffiness. If you go anywhere over three times the Earth's gravity, the fry begins to lose its structural integrity. Wow. I can already see Heston looking up the next space flight to Jupiter. It is amazing, because I read that too, and they built a rotating industrial fryer to simulate up to 9G. Wow. They did feed the students normal chips and then 3G chips, and they found that student volunteers were unable to tell the difference between normal and hypergravity.

  3. Right. What is the judging panel of this competition? Heston Blumenthal. Actually, you know, Heston Blumenthal has now contributed to space food. Let's see. So Tim Peake, the British astronaut who's gone up in space, he worked with Heston Blumenthal and his people and they've created a bacon sandwich that can be made and eaten and a cup of tea that can be made and drunk. They're made out of poo.
