What's your absolute favourite meal?
If you could only eat one final meal (one course only), and you could choose anything at all, what would it be?
Mine would be savoury mince, slow cooked in the oven with onions, diced carrot and herby dumplings in a rich gravy, served with roasted parsnips, buttered green cabbage and creamy mash. |

I think it would be a good restaurant Chicken Madras with Pilau Rice and poppadums, washed down with a couple of pints of Kingfisher.

Dover Sole, simply fried and drizzled with lemon butter, perfect saute potatoes and asparagus.
It's such a long time since I had this as dover sole seems to have dissappeared from restaurants and shops and I've never been able to cook saute poatoes properly. Any tips? |

![]() . You can't beat a decent roast dinner. Chicken breast is joint first for me though.

Singapore laksa from Orchard Street Car Park (Singapore) circa 1970's.
Failing that, laksa from a really good Malaysian/Indonesian place. |

Cube or slice the potatoes, heat up butter an oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes in batches but don't turn too often, wait til you get colour on one side before you do - I cook mine with whole cloves of garlic and rosemary sprigs. Season and chow down! |

If it really was my last meal: Jerk buffalo wings and chilli catfish tacos to start. Two or three roasted Cornish game hens (marinated in rum, garlic and coriander) with a cobb salad on the side. My mums Banana cream pie for dessert. A bottle of Chillean Merlot and a jug of frozen margaritas to wash it all down.

I couldn't possibly have a favourite meal, but if I was to choose my last meal in the traditional "death row" scenario I would have....
Surf n Turf made with a huge fillet steak (med/rare) and several huge langoustines, served with chunky chips, a ridiculously garlicy alioli and sweet corn with garlic butter. Washed down with a couple of cans of root or ginger beer. Not really a pudding person so I'd prob skip that and have a cheese board for afters. Awesome. |

There are some lovely choices here!
My second choice would be a Chinese beef curry with fried rice and mushrooms. Although.....fish-mitten, your sausage and egg sarnie followed by syrup suet pud and custard sounds very tempting...... |

Don't cube or slice the potaotes as they could disintegrate or lose shape but boil them whole or in halves if very large for 5 or 6 minutes or until tender. Drain and let them steam dry for a couple of minutes.
Cube or slice the potatoes, heat up butter an oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes in batches but don't turn too often, wait til you get colour on one side before you do - I cook mine with whole cloves of garlic and rosemary sprigs. Season and chow down! |

Another memory meal here - it'd have to be haddock and chips at Mother Hubbard's in Scarborough last November on the first night of our holiday there. The first time in years I'd been able to walk well enough to make a few days away from home possible.

I always find this question really hard to answer because I love so much food.
![]() I'd say a really good and proper pizza with a bottle of cold chardonnay. |

That's basically what I do but keeping the cooked ones warm while I cook the rest is where it usually goes wrong. They tend to go 'soggy'.
