You're coming to my house for dinner. What do you want to eat?

[TitaniasAss]

There will be plenty of booze and it won't be fancy. I'll have about an hour to cook and bugger all time before to prepare in advance. Oh and you're family so I don't have to 'impress', but I want it to be lovely too!

Fajitas or chilli and nachos

Baked feta pasta 😍

Steak, good salad and wedges

Lasagne with a green salad. Ideally followed by tiramisu but you'd need to make that the day before (so get someone else to do it).

Steak, jacket spud and sour cream, peas, diane sauce. Ta love!

Steak and onions

Pasta carbonara

An hour isn’t very long to prepare. Do you genuinely have no time in advance? Cooked meat stews etc can sit for several days in the fridge. You can’t do a lasagna from scratch in an hour but could have the ragu prepared and assemble/back on the day. Ditto stew and make mash, or turn it into a pie…

I want steak home made wedges and salad garlic mayonnaise

with lemon posset and shortbread lemon posset is double cream evaporated milk zest and juice of one lemon, stir it all together and pour into ramekins to set serve with m and s shortbread

Do you have a signature dish?

Do you cook any 'foreign' food?

Do you cook anything vegetarian that I've previously enjoyed?

@Keeprejoining

posset has to be my most hated word, even worse than moist & gusset.

Bought in pizzas and salad is fine!

Home made pizza if you can be bothered. Dough doesn't take long. Or buy a packet mix and make that.

Otherwise, chili or spag bol.

Spag bol with garlic bread yum
or a risotto with salad…?

Pan fried salmon with buttered new potatoes a couple of different salads.

I agree with @NCForQuestions !
Bought in pizza, or homemade pizza!

Chilli with all the trimmings, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, tortilla chips, rainbow slaw, range of hot sauces
OR curry as above with various pickles etc
OR roast chicken, massive salad, good chips, homemade Mayo/ aioli
cold beer
some nice sorbet for pudding with berries

Cauliflower cheese please, with roast potatoes and veg. I don't have a sweet tooth (or indeed a sweet nature!) so I'm not fussed for dessert. Berries and yoghurt though if you insist. Thank you.

M&S Pizza
Steak, veggies, peppercorn sauce and onion rings
Lasagne and Garlic Bread

Rib of beef, goose fat roast potatoes, veg, good gravy, a lemon tart and a chocolate tart from m and s and several bottles of very good red wine.

I want a charcuterie plate, a cheese board and some lovely bread. With some wine.

I may not be a cheap date, but I'm a straightforward one 😉

Cheese board to go with the booze, presuming you will have wine

I would be happy with bought pizzas and salad, plus wine. Ice cream for dessert.

I'd be happy with a cheese/charcuterie selection, or a takeaway.

Thai curry and sticky rice, then something chocolate for pud

I'm shit at cooking steak so that's out, but fajitas with all the tex mex nonsense could be a good shout and quick too. AND ahem I make my own fajita seasoning. 😇. It'll be biscoff cookie pie and ice cream for pud because it's my sister's favourite and, more importantly, she's bringing it. 😀
