Each summer, we take turns to plan our own "Come Dine With Me"
This years theme is countries, and I have Britain 🇬🇧

What would you make for a British starter, main and dessert? I'm in desperate need of inspiration!

Also while you are here - what would your 'Death Row' meal be? 😋

Certainly wouldn’t make fish and chips. Hard to do properly.
Concentrate on the part of the UK you’re from or live in.
do something seasonal

Packet of crisps
Tikka masala
Gypsy tart

There is no British cuisine. There's Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish and various regional dishes from England.

Welsh Rarebit
Haggis, Neeps and tatties
Spotted Dick.

Washed down with cider, Guinness or real ale...
Or a nice cup of tea for the non drinkers.
