(hi mummy Jules was just thinking hadn't seen you for ages)

I was going to say steak and chips too!
How about curry?

Ha ha. And now I've said steak and chips twice

sorry mawbroon beat ya to it

spare ribs
there's a recipe of mine on here somewhere as recomended by FF

Lads will want homemade curry with cans of lager. Anything more than this and you stand to be ridiculed because of your prowess in the kitchen. In fact, if you can leave a Morrisons carrier bag lying around so that it looks as if you picked it up from there, so much the better!

but rhubarb, these friends of MJ's may be straining under a stereotypical Laddish image, playing up to it to gain favour and forturne and all the while yearning for a makeover with the Clinique Men's range, some Egyptian cotton sheets and a dinner of 5 exquisite and minute courses each one punctuated with a sorbet of vine fruits and melon?

Acutally I think sausage and mash is the best option, just don't forget the gravy

Yeah. Right.

Curry then?

what about chicken fajitas, easy to make, and you can always posh it up a bit by putting guacamole, sour cream and cheese on the table for them

Yes but then you get the usual snidey remarks about "fanjitas" that I still giggle at!

fish and chips and peas

Steak and chips - home made chips and steak fried to taste, with an egg on top and mountains of peas.

Slurp.

Thanks everyone for the advice - Think either steak and chips or sausage and mash! Thanks for noticing that I hadn't been around for a bit harpsichordcarrier - Nice to know I was noticed! - Things have been really crazy in my life recently.
