Like the programme what would you feed your hosts..
I would start of with ''soup of the day'', which would be vegetable, and a bun and butter ![]() Then i would do my perfect Lasagne with nice cheese sauce how i do normally..Then for afters there would be a choice of either.. Home made chocolate cake with custard or a yogert(caramel or coffee flavour) ![]() Home made choccie chip fairy cakes( with icing on top) ![]() or just bought jaffacakes.. ![]() Then to finish i would serve coffee with after dinner mints.. ![]() You wouldnt go home starving, cos i do loads..

Oh go on then.

Hmm, I always think about this and then change my mind!
Starter Fried cassava chips Homemade samosa Uttappam all served with chilli sauce, and homemade chutneys Main course Lentil Dhal Tikka potatoes Aubergine bhajee Probably some kind of vegetable curry as well Served with Lemon rice and homemade naan Dessert Either green tea ice cream sandwiches or chocolate banana split brownie pudding. Both totally don't go with the starter or the main but they're probably my favourite desserts I make! All would be vegan which is why I'd cook so many dishes, so no one could whine about how they went to extra effort

Starter - Chicken Pakora - reconstituted scrapings from a close relelative of the poultry family deep fried in 1 months old oil with peeled raw onions and a chilli sauce that your stomach will never forget , nor forgive
Main- Large Donner Kebab with all the trimmings - a generous helping of "elephants leg" marinated in an a selection of seasonal "e" numbers and cooked on a vertical spit over several days, left unattended overnight to allow the flavours to mature. Served in a pitta bread aged just enough by its use by date to negate the need for toasting to achieve that crispy finish, finished with yet more of that chilli sauce which is known to resist all known stain removers. Desert - chocolate surprise - mars bar lightly deep fried and served in batter, as recommended by all major coronary units Drinks - Several cans of Stella Artois served with a selection of fortified wines brewed by the monks of Buckfast Abbey ![]() ![]()
