thought i start a thread about your fav starter, main and pud.

Well my goes like this.......The good old Prawn Cocktail,
Beef Wellington,
and lots & lots of veg..........no spuds as they don`t agree with me.
Lots of fresh fruit.







Over to you.................................

one of my favourite meals is
1.soup
2.scampi and chips
3.treacle pudding

TUNA PATE OR MINESTRONE SOUP
PORK FILLET IN BREADCRUMBS WITH HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE AND PASTA
PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN PUDDING AND CUSTARD

I watch the program all the time,but.....Ladies you have my mouth watering now!LOL
BTW, I'me female!!

I like the sound of Clairejo`s but no ice cream for me -don`t like it !

If Clairjo gives me here address I'll be around there....! LOL!
How's about:
tomato bruscetta
beef stroganoff
tiramisu trifle
If Alice was there, then, of course, it would be a Stinking Bishop cheese on the cheeseboard! (just won the prize for the pongiest British cheese, I believe!):

jan50, you got my vote straight away, with the cheese!lol

I would start off with ....
creamy Garlic mushrooms ...
fillet steak (well done ) with potatoes&veg ..
then i 'll have a Baked strawberry cheesecake ...
after that i wont be able to move .... i'll be too full up ..lol...

My OH loves that programme and I taped the celebrity one with Ulrika and Helen Lederer.......what a ditzy lady......great fun....

My favourite meal would be.....one starter that I often have for lunch......scallops with streaky bacon on a mixed green & rocket salad with white balsamic vinegar.....and a few sliced cherry tomatoes....

Main......saute potatoes, peas, baby carrots, broccoli or zuchini with a tournados rossini.......not necessarily with truffles.....

Sweet......don't normally eat them, prefer a cheese board with fresh fruit.........but a simple strawberry or raspberry pavlova, or a creme brulee or creme caramel would go down nicely....

as you can see......I am a glutton......I love my food...

Starter...........Kedgeree or Prawn cocktail.
Main..............Roast Beef and all the trimmings.
Pudding.......Trifle or apple and blackberry crumble with custard.

thanks for recipe -will try it

Well the things I'd like to have with cheese or cream are no longer possible, as I'm now lactose intollerent.

So

Prawns in garlic oil with maybe a little french bread, for mopping up the oil.
Medium fillet steak with a few fries and whatever.
I don't do desserts these days but if there's room just fresh strawberries, naked!
The strawberries, not me!

Dear All

Hello

I would skip the starter and go straight to the main course of
roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, parsnips and vegetables
BUT no meat. Lots of gravy with mint sauce.

I am more or less a vegetarian!

For pudding, strawberry cheescake.

Afterwards, my favourite a cup of tea!

Or good old fish and chips, with plenty of vinegar and a light
sprinking of sea salt.

Lovely.

Best wishes
xx

Smoked Trout with green salad.

Sea Bass with Jersey Royal Potatoes, French Beans. and Asparagus.

English Strawberries with cream.

In fact I am having Sea Bass for dinner today with the same Veg, which I am cooking.

Mo

Stilton on half an avocdo,grilled,with balsamic vinegar and plenty of rocket.

That is the best starter I have ever had.

I can't decide about the main.

For a birthday,we once did the trip on the P&O ferry where you don't get off but you come back in the Langan's Brasserie.

If you do it make sure you have the cheeseboard.Three huge pieces of gorgeous cheese that I have never seen in the shops.

Now I wish it was my birthday again and I said I wasn't going to have any more,aw shucks!
