Dessert: warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream.

Dessert: creme brulee

Deep fried baby squid with garlic aioli

BBQ'd octopus with roasted canarian potatoes and tomato salad

Coconut panna cotta with cassis coulis, grated lime zest and blackcurrants

My ideal meal wouldn't be 3 courses.

Starters fill me up too much and I don't have a sweet tooth so pudding is wasted on me.

My ideal meal would be a huge sharing seafood stew, Spanish or Greek, squid, mussels, crab, prawns, fish, lots of garlic and olive oil- tomato based.

Some salad, olives and crusty bread on the side- with a large quantity of wine.

Starter: Scallops on a bed of pea risotto

Any dry champagne.

Starter: a terrine of some kind, maybe chicken, with sourdough toasts.
Main: ribeye steak (medium rare) with chips triple cooked in beef fat, and sides of truffle macaroni cheese and green beans with pancetta.
Dessert: crème brûlée.

Scallops to start with pancetta.

Spinach and ricotta cannellonis with garlic bread and mozzarella sticks.
Apple crumble with crunchy salted caramel crumble topping and melted chocolate drizzled over the top.
