You really have gone off the railsI’d be up for an IRL Moopy Come Dine With Me, just so I could do Tina
What a lovely idea for a thread!
Sadly, I never cook and know nothing about it. I’ll serve water, diet coke and chems.
Disgusting. Diet coke is bad for you.
As an Edinburgh native, I'll be serving up NOTHING.

Oh I know, I prefer the original, but my guests usually don’t.
Just your bussy?

Oh I agree, but people can be right fussy about that kind of thing. Nobody argues about what vegetables they get, but when it's ICE CREAM OR CUSTARD everyone gets all in a tizz.Custard is the correct answer.

I miss rhubarb crumble SOOOO much!I love rhubarb. It's very sour naturally, so it depends how much sugar you add.
Oh God mine seems a touch pedestrian after seeing all the foreign muck everyone else is planning to serve.
Replace coke with a gallon of wine and that's pretty one of my soirees.3 course meals are a FAFF and not really conducive to an enjoyable/sociable evening. I just go with some sort of NIBBLE or ANTI-PASTI to start, with a show stopping main and coke for dessert.
I guess in UK you can always open some bags of crisps and done.Oh God mine seems a touch pedestrian after seeing all the foreign muck everyone else is planning to serve.

I made salmorejo last summer. Utterly delicious.What I usually prepare to impress someone coming for dinner for the first time:
STARTER
Salmorejo (with Spanish ham and boiled egg on top)

MAIN
Croquetas (croquettes?) (filled with bechamel and Spanish ham)

DESSERT
Either
Catalan cream (similar to crême brûlée)
![]()
Or
Carrot cake (I make the best homemade carrot cake you'd have)
Surely this doesn't need a pic![]()
It is difficult to make here though, as British tomatoes are so SHIT compared to Mediterranean ones. And I'm sure @Alla would say the bread I used wasn't authentic. I think I used ciabatta.I made salmorejo last summer. Utterly delicious.
Well yes, the better the tomatoes/bread/olive oil are, the better it tastes. But I made salmorejo in UK and it was quite good, to be honest. And as I make it all the time, I use whatever bread I have left, I used so many different ones, and there isn't such a big difference.It is difficult to make here though, as British tomatoes are so SHIT compared to Mediterranean ones.
