Your dream restaurant / desert island meal?

Been binge-listening to the Table Manners and Off Menu podcasts today and it's got me trying to come up with my own dream menu.

So naturally, I want to see yours!

If you were in your dream restaurant / heading off to a deserted island tomorrow for a long time, what would you choose for your:

Starter / Main / Side dish / Dessert / Drink?

Note: the meal does not have to 'make sense' – just your favourite things...

I've got as far as:

  • Starter: 9 oysters with lemon and Tabasco, and a tiny bowl of perfectly crispy french fries
  • Main: Struggling to choose between:
  • Spaghetti Vongole with finely sliced red chillis OR
  • Lobster mac n cheese OR
  • Chilli miso monkfish stew from a restaurant I used to hang out at in the Virgin Islands
  • Side dish:
  • A chunky Greek salad from the village I lived in when I was 25 OR
  • A really fresh, zesty fattoush
  • Dessert:
  • Tarte au citron with creme fraiche OR
  • A single, perfect Baklava
  • Drink: A margarita, specifically one made by my ex-boyfriend (he made the BEST margaritas I have EVER tasted)
Your turn!

I was at a Greek restaurant on Friday and I think I’d go for what I (well, 2 of us) had: Greek salad, taramasalata, calamari, lamb chops, patates, flat bread and beer. It’s a wide range of ingredients that can be changed around. No sweet then, but I’d go for baklava.
