In a restaurant

Just a bit of Friday fun.
Imagine you're in a nice restaurant.
You can only order ONE dish.
What would your order be?

Mine would be seabass with scallops and salad.

Does it have to be a main?

If not, I'm having sticky toffee pudding with custard and vanilla ice cream (all vegan please, so send some wanky hipster points my way also!)

If it's got to be a main, I'm going with sticky chilli tofu and Chinese style veg and noodles. God I'm hungry!

Aloo paratha, lime pickle and chai. Somewhere in Rajasthan would do.

userabcname · 26/09/2019 18:40

I'm going straight for dessert. A massive ice cream sundae with all the trimmings - chocolate sauce, nuts, sprinkles, a wafer, cream, some little marshmallows....mmmm!

Gratin dauphinoise. With or without roast leg of lamb.

If it was an Italian restaurant in the Italian Dolomites, then mushroom rissotto.,

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 18:53

No @plantsplantsplants it can be any dish you fancy.
@KatnissK that sounds superb
@BikeRunSki it can be anywhere you like

Biriyani
Lamprais (a Dutch influenced Sri Lankan dish)
Failing all that, a lovely, warm and fluffy pilau rice with chicken curry

misslomi · 26/09/2019 19:11

Buttermilk fried chicken thigh in a toasted bun with avocado and jalapenos served with skin on fries and a side of mozzarella sticks 🤤

stucknoue · 26/09/2019 19:13

I'd have your sea bass and scallops too, love sea bass

bellalou1234 · 26/09/2019 19:16

I am really weird. But... my.oartnets home made fajitas would be lush washed down with lashings of white wine

Nevth · 26/09/2019 19:23

Oooh I'd have a massive lovely burrata with prosciutto, tomatoes, warm figs and salad. And some dauphinoise on the side. Heaven!

Grumpbum123 · 26/09/2019 19:26

Anything someone else has cooked and thought about. A meal served without me having to think

B00kworm86 · 26/09/2019 19:32

It would have to be....rare steak, blue cheese sauce, chunky chips...or Hoi Sin Duck and fried rice...no wait! Spaghetti Carbonara! Oh this is too hard!!! I'm hungry!

GBroGal · 26/09/2019 19:44

PleasemayIhave ... (because Iwantdoesn'tget) pan fried calf's liver - just pink, "with onions on its breath" - on a school dinner tray with dividers so the raspberries with chocolate mousse (yes - that way round) don't get muddled into the liver

SeaToSki · 26/09/2019 19:53

Steak frites with a rich port gravy and a watercress salad. And the steak needs to be medium and sliced across the grain. The watercress just has a light dressing of olive oil lemon juice and salt.

And I want a cocktail to go with it. A Bees Knees with thyme

RezCowgirl · 26/09/2019 19:59

Cheeseburger with bacon, mushroom and hickory BBQ sauce with chunky chips and onion rings.

OkayGo · 26/09/2019 20:04

Is it cheating if I order a 3 course set menu Grin

I went to Brugge once and I had the following:

Beef carpaccio with salad
Duck with orange sauce, roast potatoes and veg
White and milk chocolate mousses

I dream about this meal all of the time.

However if I can only order one meal, I will order a huge tofu pad Thai!

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 20:45

Yes, that's cheating @OkayGo 😄

Still gonna do it though Grin

Metriti · 26/09/2019 21:24

A piping hot bowl of doenjang-jjigae. Delicious savoryness. 🤤

Or a spicy pasta dish, penne arrabiatta I think it's called? Tbh I'm starving so could demolish both right now, one order of Italian Korean carby fusion please.

Chickenwing · 26/09/2019 21:25

Salt n chili chicken balls, salt n chili chips, fried rice and curry sauce. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

iklboo · 26/09/2019 21:44

Well if it's anything goes then I'll have Holland's steak & kidney pudding, chips & gravy with a battered potato scallops please. Lots of vinegar.

Mammyloveswine · 26/09/2019 22:26

Slow roasted crispy belly pork on a bed of apple mash with chorizo and black pudding and braised red cabbage... mmmm

Bloodybridget · 27/09/2019 01:04

I'll have what Mammyloveswine is having!
