If you were on come dine with me, what would you serve?

Question

If you were a contestant on come dine with me (the show that was syndicated in the US as 'dinner takes all' i believe, what 3 course meal would you cook, in order to win the cash prize?

Answer 1

Baked potato soup grilled pork chops with fried apples and a spinach salad with feta cheese  with a sweet balsamic dressing for dessert a cherry top cheesecake

Answer 2

Something that everyone is certain to like, that cannot go wrong under pressure and will allow you to be a good host i.e. spend lots of time with your guests.

For a starter

Grilled goats cheese on a large crouton with salad and walnuts

or

roasted onion tart that will have to be prepared beforehand

or

fancy spring rolls/parcels with prawns and homemade chili dip.

For a main course something like a beef casserole such as Beef Bourguiognon

or Beef cooked in stout.

It is really tasty and will be ready before the guests arrive. Serve with mashed potatoes (have them ready and heat in oven), julienne carrots and possible a puff pastry shape to decorate the top.

Pud has to be chocolate profiteroles or could go for the wow factor with a very 70s choux pastry swan (pipe 'S' shape for head and ovela shape for body which is cut in two) filled with raspberries on a lake of sauce.

or

If you haven't opted for pastry to start I would choose a lemon tart.
