Your 'Come dine with me' menu

[Cherrybakewellard]

I'm sure this has been done before but let's have an up to date version Incase my recent application is successful one day just for fun?

I always struggle to come up with something impressive that would also be a crowd pleaser with the winning element.

So if you were a guest at my dinner, what would you most like to see on the menu?

Starter of scallops with black pudding, pea shoots, crispy bacon with maple syrup jus.

Main of venison with black pudding, parsnip purée and fancy mushrooms with parmentier potatoes.

Pudding. Lemon meringue pie
Hungry now!

Crab salad starter

fried chicken (marinaded in Thai flavours before frying, it's amazing) with bbq beans, cornbread and coleslaw

Lemon posset with a few berries and ginger biscuits for dessert

And hope there were no vegans or veggies in the group.

Starter salmon fish cakes with salad

Main probably pulled pork in the slow cooker, with brioche buns, homemade coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Nice and easy as can be all prepped in advance and then just dished up, no last minute cooking of vegetables or anything.

Pudding individual chocolate cheesecakes or lemon meringue pie.

I would do scallops as a starter, with cauliflower puree and some crispy pancetta.

I would probably do some kind of coq au vin blanc as a made course as it could be prepared earlier in the day. Homemade bread and a green salad.

I am not a dessert person so would struggle there. Maybe lemon tart.

Coffee or tea with homemade truffles.

Dominoes?

Starter of baked Camemberts with garlic, chilli and a drizzle of olive oil and garlic bread and crudités to dip and some side salad.

Main Of surf and turf, rib eye steak, garlic king prawns, garlic mushrooms, buttery baked potatoes, grilled asparagus and a dressed salad.

Dessert of Tiramisu with a scoop of mascarpone on the side.

Oooh that's tough. I love watching Come Dine With Me but I don't enjoy cooking and most of my favourite meals are 'comfort' foods.
Starter ?
Main - mac and cheese with a crispy topping and about 4 varieties of cheese. I would have to cheat and use a jar though.
Pudding - assortment of crisps.
My 'fun' activity would be a Lego buildings contest.
I am so getting a score of about 9 out of 40 aren't I

Starter - warm goats cheese and beetroot salad
Main - pulled pork with macaroni cheese, homemade coleslaw and wedges
Dessert - apricot creme brûlée tart

I'm vegetarian which is fine as in I cook meat and fish etc for the rest of the family so I wouldn't be phased by having another veggie guest but I dread them sending me a gluten free/ dairy free / vegan / worst of all non drinker
