To ask what your perfect, if random, 3 course meal would be?

[ItsAliveItsElectric]

You can choose:

1 starter
1 main
1 dessert/cheeseboard with your favourites on
A drink of your choice

Money no object, or calories. Any cuisine or combination which wouldn't normally be served up together

Mine:

Starter: Chicken tikka pieces with fried onions
Main: Fillet steak, cheesy mash, onions and mushrooms cooked in garlic, veg
Dessert: Millionaires cheesecake
Drink: Sauvignon Blanc, preferably Marlborough.

Very slightly cheating but they do present at starters, mains and desserts - a cinnamon club tasting menu. Or Benares.

Mmm all of these sound amazing! Started the thread as I was starving aswell

Garlic King prawns with bread and butter.
Roast chicken with all the trimmings.
Warm chocolate brownie with pouring cream.

Nachos
Halloumi wrap with peri peri sauce and fries
Battered ice cream with honey

Starter would be grilled squid with garlic, lemon and parsley.

Main would be venison, asparagus and a proper baked potato with loads of butter as well as gratin dauphinois.

Next would be a cheeseboard with overripe Camembert and dolcelatte.

All washed down with a good Rioja.

Scallops with black pudding

Veal escalope with red wine and sage sauce

Sticky toffee pudding and custard

Large carafe of Merlot. Always tastes better from a carafe!

Starter: prawn cocktail, heavy on the sauce
Main: proper Napoli marghertia pizza with a side of cheesy garlic bread (not authentic but hey!)

Honestly, most of the suggestions made by pps would work for me. I’m not fussy.

Vodka
Starter - A choice of Stilton, Roquefort, caviar, and smoked Salmon (sp?) and water crackers with salted butter and cucumber

Main: tin pan louie ‘a chunky chilli with rice, lemon and soured cream from Sedero Lounge - but a double serving because omg is lush

Dessert: Eton mess

Drink: my favourite kind of hot chocolate from Costa. Can’t elaborate, it really is outing.

Deasert- tirramisu
Drink - a smooth malbec

I forgot a drink, something rum based definitely. Probably a mojito or I have recently rediscovered my love for Malibu and coke!

Ooh I've been listening to Off Menu and thinking about this:

Lemon tart with raspberries

1 glass of champagne then a dry white wine (not fussy which!)
