To ask what your Come Dine With Me menu would be?

[HelloThursday]

Mine would be

Prawn saganaki
Chicken and lamb skewers with tzatziki and flatbreads, salad hummus etc
Desert would be something chocolatey maybe a brownie or one of those warm cookie dough desserts

Can of Fosters.
Pot Noodle.
Angel Delight (butterscotch).

£1000 in the bag.

I'll have to have a think, but definitely NOT bloomin' scallops. They must be the most overcooked food ever on CDWM.

Lobster bisque

Beef wellington

Lemon syllabub

Hmm mine would be

Red pepper, harissa and lentil soup to start with warm soda bread

Roasted salmon, hollandaise sauce, dauphinoise potatoes and veg

Plum and cinnamon crumble with lashings of custard/clotted cream

Garlic and chilli prawns with a salad garnish.
Sweet chilli grilled salmon with pad Thai and spicy brocolli.
Chocolate cake with cherry compote and chocolate ganache served with cream.

Oh good idea for a thread!

I actually did a couples ‘come dine with me’; not for tv, but just among friends. Ours was at Halloween, so we did;

Devils on horseback (canapés) with cocktails called devils brew (nicer than it sounds)

Pumpkin soup with gruyere

Steak & Guinness pie with colcannon (a nod to the traditional Irish all saints day meal)

Fallen chocolate soufflé with prunes & Armagnac with creme fraiche

STARTER
Waldorf Salad

MAIN COURSE
Duck with orange
Duck with Cherries
Duck Surpise

DESSERT
Triffle.

Think I win hands down

I get the reference spider I think we need a gin and orange, a lemon squash and a scotch and water with that PLEASE

Mine always changes, but currently it would be...

Homemade roasted tomato and basil soup
Spaghetti carbonara
Biscoff cheesecake/devil's food cake

Seasoned white crab meat with avocado and dressing and thin toast
Basil and tomato galette from The Ivy cook book for veggies

Beef Wellington
A veg Wellington alternative
Serve yourself veg

Cheese Board and port

Lemon tart with homemade ice cream or custard

Water
Booze

I am on a diet. I want all of this now.

Butternut squash and chilli soup with homemade bread.

Butter chicken

Nectarine and mint pavlova

Cheese board

I don't know but I would definitely not try to make the plates look like restaurant plates because it always looks shit. I hate getting a meal served up on a plate unless I'm out.

Prawn cocktail in a glass

Steak & chips

Black forest gateux

Following this as looking for inspiration for a dinner party next week.

Ooooh some of this food sounds ace.

Mine changes but mood I'm in today:

Chicken liver pate, chutney, toast - all homemade.

Cajun salmon with lemon creme fraiche sweet potato chips and veg

Chocolate mousse cake with frangelico

I’d do:

• tempura prawn and squid with chipotle mayonnaise
• meat paella with a Spanish side salad
• pistachio soufflé

Baked Camembert with toast

Tapas (paella, potatoes braved, pulled pork, chorizo etc)

Cheesecake

Not even for the sake of the money, just because it’s tasty! My winning trick would be putting gin in champagne a la AbFab

I LOVE idea of pistachio soufflé!

I’m not sure (I think about this often!) but I know it would be something I’ve made plenty of times before and know it goes down well, always feel shocked when they’re cooking and say ‘this is my first time making this..’

I’ve recently been attending cooking classes to start hosting more fancy dinner parties and so far so good I’ve had quite a bit of success!
