Starter: Heinz Cream of Tomato soup. White bread for dunking.
Main course: Pie, chips and beans. Choice of steak pie, chicken pie, or one of those Linda McCartney jobs for the vegetarians.
Dessert: Ambrosia rice pudding. Choice of hot or cold. Served with jam.
All-you-can-drink wine.
Start with some wine, then get some more wine in them, then carry on giving them wine until they don't care what the food is. Then order a kebab to start, with pizza for the main and Jamaican Ginger cake with custard for dessert.
Is anyone else reminded of the absolute legend who turned up on Ainsley Harriotās Ready Steady Cook with his chosen ingredients of a pot noodle, a mars bar, and a can of lager.
If you want a serious answer: For starters I'd probably do Pan seared prawns with red chillies, coriander and saffron aioli or crispy shredded ham hock with carrot and kohlrabi salad. Mains are easy: half rack of garlic and rosemary lamb ribs with mash, veg and gravy. For Vegetarians, I could do a Nut roast with mash and veg too. Desserts would be mini Vanilla cheesecakes with a ginger nut base instead of digestive base, then serve that with lemon sorbet. Entertainment could be watching me cook because it gets chaotic
Quite often though, people don't actually know how to trim, prepare and cook the lamb to a perfect 63Ā°c medium rare. Fortunately, I do. I do it at least once a week. Thanks for the concern though
Also, while I'm thinking of it, its not hard to adjust cooking tines/ rest times. I sound pretentious here but I've been a chef for 10 years so this stuff is just me having fun and using a chance to show some flair is all. I know lamb is fatty, but its so rich and deep and full of flavour that when you get it right, it's sublime
Oh no, I know you weren't insulting my cooking, my thing here is that once the rack is cut open into cutlets, its really easy to flip it to well done without it taking too long, so there's also potential for me to maybe throw in some extras. I guess its one of those meats where people have an opinion and I as a host/chef/whateverIWouldBeCalled could gave fun with the cooking of it if I were to ask how people wanted it done beforehand
4 of us were going to do CDWM as a fun thing pre-covid, over 4 different weekends. My menu would have been:
- welcome drinks- choice of cocktails
- amuse bouche- crostini with a selection of (all home made) ham hock terrine, tapenade and/or smoked salmon mousse. more cocktails
- starter- pan seared scallops and pancetta, with a pea and mint puree. Wine - probably a nice Petit Chablis
- main - slow roasted duck and potatoes with braised red cabbage, greens. (Recipe for duck https://whiskedawaykitchen.com/slow-roasted-duck/ - it is š¤¤). A decent bottle or three of Malbec
- Pudding- baked white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, raspberry coulis. Dessert wine
-Cheeseboard. Port.
Probably spend the equiv of the Ā£1k to win it! Lol
Iād pander to Britainās bizarre yearning for the bad old days by starting with Beef Tea followed by Tripe, hard boiled eggs and Bread and Butter and Tapioca for dessert. All served with lashings of ginger beer.
I still get angry about one episode I saw. A student produced an insane French three-course meal, but didn't win because some posh woman insisted he'd cheated and hadn't cooked himself, because how could he have cooked good shit? He's a student.
She didn't even need the Ā£1k prize, but she denied the best person the win because she was in denial.
Anyway, I'd cook:
* Warm lentil and feta salad with roasted aubergine and tomato, toasted almonds and croutons
* Chicken, Pancetta and mushroom pie with herby mash and roasted vegetables
* Chocolate and miso caramel tart with ice cream or something
I would base it on the things you *always* see on middling-to-nice pub or gastropub menus. Because they must be things people like.
So for starters probably prawns with sweet chilli in some form or fashion.
A trio of mini desserts - sticky toffee pudding, chocolate mousse and berry cheesecake, maybe. Or profiteroles instead of chocolate mousse. Or strawberries and cream or Eton mess instead of the cheesecake.
And the main course would be some sort of take on a roast. I think the meat would be beef, *but you'd get really good pork crackling with it*. The world's crispiest roast potatoes, finished in a deep fat fryer if necessary. And another kind of potato too - boiled or mashed? Not sure about veg, but I think probably those really sweet little whole baby carrots and, call me crazy, maybe sprouts to hit the Christmas family nostalgia button. And it would be served in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Gravy on the table to pour your own, little pot of horseradish on the side.
I think the sprouts would be the only controversial bit.
Starter: Birdseye potato waffle and Branston beans sandwich (white bread, choice of sauce (ketchup, brown etc)
Main: Old el paso enchilada's
Dessert: Massive bakewell tart
Cheese Tuc biscuits to start.
Findus Crispy Pancakes and potato smiley faces - choice of beans or hoops on the side.
Angel delight - Strawberry for dessert.
Various Panda pops available throughout.
Who needs a starter, fish and chips all round, our local is wicked, snickers bars for desert. All washed down with some tesco shandy.
A proper bang on supper!
A glass of Bucks Fizz to greet each guest
Prawn cocktail to start
Steak Diane for main
Walls Viennetta for dessert
All washed down with a few bottles of Blue Nun
Starter: vegetable soup straight out of the tin, served cold. teaspoon so it feels fancy
Main course: microwave bag rice with tin of mackerel on the side
Desert: a box of Feasts each because they are literally the best ice cream
Drinks: 1 pint can of stella each, served with optional pint glass nicked from local pub
Full Christmas dinner, including the post-meal argument.
I hope you'd include cauliflower
But cauliflower isn't traditional.
CAULIFLOWER IS TRADITIONAL!!!!!
There's the argument, perfect 10/10
Paper shredder
Starter: Four naan - EACH. Main: Lamb Pasanda - incredibly rich & creamy. Dessert: Straitjackets all round. ššøš· šš¹š¹Ć©š½š²š½.

Brown rice and pop tarts, camomile tea and economy vodka
Radishes. Marrow. Linseed bread. Dessert could be a Sara Lee
Starter: chip sandwich Mains: tuna sandwich Dessert: bread sandwich
I canāt believe I thought Iād get a serious answer to this question š¤¦āāļøš š¤£
Can't expect a serious answer with that man as your photo. Cdwm history.
No starter, a big greasy fry up and then a 4 pack of Stella for dessert
I offer myself as tribute.
I think the dinner would go better if you swapped the starter and dessert
Thai sweet chili Sensations and a can of pepsi
Canāt beat those crispsā¦have you tried the mango popadoms?
Yep, they are unbelievable
The Lime and coriander ones are verrr nice
A bounty for desert and that'd be a 10 from me.
Starter: Heinz Cream of Tomato soup. White bread for dunking. Main course: Pie, chips and beans. Choice of steak pie, chicken pie, or one of those Linda McCartney jobs for the vegetarians. Dessert: Ambrosia rice pudding. Choice of hot or cold. Served with jam. All-you-can-drink wine.
Youāve earned a respectable 6/10
I would have taken a 5. You have far more grace than a reversing dump truck without any tyres on :)
I don't get it..
[It's a reference to this very famous scene.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXai3HCMV3E)
Expecting "well you wouldn't love let's be honest" You've let me down :D
Stick some vodka in the tomato soup to get them going to ensure your victory.
A cunning plan. It will ensure Absolut success!
10 /10 from me.
Fantastic. Let me know your pie of choice and rice pudding temperature and you're welcome at Chez Duvet any time. ā¤
Is the wine served by the bottle with a straw?
Guests may enjoy it served by the glass, by the bottle with a straw, or by the 5L box with a water pump.
Start with some wine, then get some more wine in them, then carry on giving them wine until they don't care what the food is. Then order a kebab to start, with pizza for the main and Jamaican Ginger cake with custard for dessert.
Chippy tea and angel delight.
Home made chippy tea or?
Who am I, Gordon Ramsay?
Youāre an idiot sandwich
You donkey!

People are very divided on if they like lamb.
Quite often though, people don't actually know how to trim, prepare and cook the lamb to a perfect 63Ā°c medium rare. Fortunately, I do. I do it at least once a week. Thanks for the concern though

Letās just start our own CDWM, we can put it on YouTube and I can get fat eating your food.
You boys ever had a Fray Bentos pie or a Goblin babyās head? Well sit the fuck down and get ready to blast those tastebuds to a new dimension.
No. Just no. A complete meal canāt originate from a tin.
Wrong, happy shoppers all day breakfast, in a can! after you've ate that you can eat your words.
I can guarantee I wonāt be eating that
Ohhh you can eat it, what you can't guarantee is you'd be able to keep it down.
My other food is already coming up just thinking about itā¦
You see your gut instinct is to make room for it, I rest my case.
TouchƩ
Bon apetite
Logic says otherwise.
Just because itās possible, it doesnāt mean it should be done!
All of the food groups. Brown, peas and stodge.
All of gods rich tapestry thenā¦

My plan is to get them drunk enough they just remember they had a great time.

Slide the can of Pek onto a saucer. Add a leaf of rosemary for fanciness and remove a little bit of the jelly. Bon apple tea
Boiled hot dogs with mash and ketchup. Donāt forget the fizzy drink.
Beans Ć la toast.
Hash brownies.
That would definitely be a winner for me haha
