What's the best food you have ever been served at a dinner party?

Doesn't need to be fancy (although fine if it is) but I'd like to know about the most delicious food you've ever been presented with. I'm hosting in late November and I would like it to be memorable (for the right reasons!)

I'll start - I went to a friend's house for a casual evening - she had been to the Dorset coast that day and brought back the biggest, juiciest shell on prawns with her. She served them very simply fried in garlic butter with crusty baguette to mop up the juices and for some reason they were one of the best things I've ever eaten.

One of the most memorable dinner party dishes I’ve had was this rich coq au vin at a friend's place. He’d been inspired by a French restaurant he’d visited and decided to go all out, slow-cooking it with plenty of wine, mushrooms, and garlic. The flavors were so deep, and the meat just melted off the bone—it was one of those meals that felt both impressive and comforting.

Sounds divine! Mary Berry did a coq au vin pie on her show the other night and we're going to recreate it over Christmas as it did sound very festive!
