We are having friends over for dinner at the weekend and I can't decide which of the things below to cook. We are having a selection of canapes for starter and they are bringing pudding.

I am stuck between:-

seasoned steak in a red wine sauce served with either noodles or chips and garlic bread

or

sausages served with cheese & spring onion mash potato and home made onion gravy.

I was going to try and be healthy but then I thought sod it!

Most votes wins! CHEERS

I'd go for the mash.....you don't want to get unlucky with the steak and end up with shoe leather so thats a better option and you can peel spuds in advance etc....

Could get posh sausages and have everyone coo over your culinary trendiness!!

Twiglett · 09/05/2007 19:58

sausage and mash

Apatosaurus · 09/05/2007 19:59

I'm so sorry, I am a filthy minded creature who likes crap puns

Nikki76 · 09/05/2007 20:05

Sounds like you have decided then! lol

Apatosaurus · 09/05/2007 20:06

I reckon s&m with "S&M" would be a real night to remember for your friends.

Whoooosh · 09/05/2007 20:06

Go with whichever you feel most comfortable cooking and you feel tastes the best!

Apatosaurus · 09/05/2007 20:07

and that sponges off the leather thongs most easily

ohhhhh whoosh - don't say things like that to me, can't you tell I'm the sort of person thats crap at making decisions

a night of s&m with S&M would be right up our friends street - they'd probably think there luck was in if we suggested that - well the bloke for sure! Infact I've snogged him before but thats a whole other story.... think I should shut up now

Bangers and mash because it will keep warm better so you can assemble quickly and have more time to join in.

Whoooosh · 09/05/2007 20:14

Well then I would go with the filet steak dish with mash!

manictreecreature · 09/05/2007 20:14

hmm no, don't shut up now...s'all getting interesting!

WideWebWitch · 09/05/2007 20:14

Dh and I have been dating since we were 13, we are still friends with all our old school friends and when we were younger we used to have "snogging parties" where the boys lined up and the girls sngged each of them god that sounds awful, I hope dd doesn't get up to things like that

ok,

we used to meet in a car park, climb into the boot of his estate, have rampant sex whilst singing "We will, we will rock you" in time with the cars rocking!

Is that any better???????
