Starter, main, dessert and drink.

i’d go with bruschetta with mozzarella to start with, fish and chips for main, chocolate mousse for dessert and a spiced rum and coke to drink

STARTER - these particular garlic creamy mussels with fresh bread we had in Mlini near Dubrovnik. Hands down best meal.we have ever eaten. With copias Pinot Grigio. In a thunderstorm. It was wonderful.

MAIN - a big Medium rare rib eye steak, triple cooked thinish chips, roast tomatoes, big field mushroom with loads of garlic butter, unlimited beer batter onion rings, roasted tenderstem broccoli, whisky peppercorn sauce on the side, large glass of Tempranillo. Yum.

DESSERT - Tiramisu

My Mum’s beef bourg for main. Probably with potato dauphinois, or roasties + glazed carrots and peas.
Homemade apple crumble and Waitrose Madagascan custard for desert.
A cheese board. The strongest British cheddar available, something blue and a Comte. Fig chutney and bread.
Lots of red wine.

Edited to say, no starter. But if I had to have one, something mushroom based.

Prawn cocktail with bread and butter
Steak with dauphinoise potatoes and tenderstem broccoli with peppercorn sauce

I’d have creamy garlic mushrooms with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce

Then steak with chunky chips, mushrooms, sweetcorn and a nice sauce (tbc)

Then a café gourmand style dessert (no coconut or banana flavours) with tea not coffee!

Sloshed down with a nice glass of Malbec

Starter - smoked salmon with cream cheese and chives.
Main - Singapore rice noodles with mixed beef chicken and prawn and chilli oil and curry sauce to add.
Desert - Victoria sponge cake with squirty fresh cream.
Drink - pint of Bollinger champagne.
