    Come dine with me

    Right. If you were on the show, what would be your menu, and/or tactics for winning? I realise the £1000 isn't worth the effort with your exhorbitant daily rates, but just for the fun of it, indulge me.

    Lancashire Hot Pot, then pineapple upside down cake with custard.

      If the other contestants were women, I'd serve freshly made Sushi on my naked body.

        Sushi is not meant to smell.

          Certainly not meant to be served with cheese.

            Starter - Roasted Asparagus wrapped in Parma Ham, with a light sprinkle of Parmasan.

            Main Course - Beef Wellington, served with dauphinoise potatoes. Beef Wellington would use a layer Champagne, Duck and Truffle Pate.

            Dessert - Chocolate Terrine, ala Taillevent, served with Mint Anglais.

            Hrm, seems I have taken my reply far too seriously. Therefore, in line with the other posts, I'd make sure the beef was rancid, the pate off and serve up the most disgusting red wine I could find, wait for everyone to throw up and label it up as 'Dogs Dinner'

                  Despite a promising menu Gibbon disappointed with his bearded clams, and his budget wine. He now trails with 18 points.

                    The average contestant would probably view this as the height of sophistication ...

                    Prawn Cocktail
                    Steak and chips
                    Black Forest Gateau

                    And, of course, no meal would be complete without a bottle of Blue Nun (or for the truely pretentious - Black Tower)

                    Joking apart even the prospect of a grand wouldn't tempt me into spending an evening with most of them.
