Your ideal menu

No, don’t like seafood. I love chicken liver pate with sourdough bread, followed by fillet steak, medium rare with thick cut chips and salad.

Prawn cocktail (large prawns minimum salad) followed by best beef stroganoff. Heaven.

Fresh asparagus followed by a full traditional Christmas dinner.

No starter now as it fill me up but in an ideal world prawns and sliced avocado with a light dressing.
Rack of lamb with buttered jersey royals and tender stem broccoli.
Glass of white with the starter and red with the main.

I don't have an ideal menu. I fancy different foods at different times.

I've tried yo think about this but actually that's the beauty of eating out somewhere imaginative... lots of new tempting ideas.

Scallops with bacon

Cassoulet (as cooked by our local French restaurant (in the UK), just the cassoulet with a loaf of a rough rustic bread, served with a good rough red wine

No dessert, I do not have a sweet tooth, but I do fancy a savoury and wish restaurants would bring them back. Perhaps a small Welsh rarebit and a glass of port.

A cool cucumber and mint consommé .

Lobster thermidor .

A rare steak with asparagus and rocket .

Strawberry , raspberry and peach
in a fresh fruit salad .

A medium rare steak, fries, and a green salad, no dressing, salad cream, or coleslaw.
If I had a starter it would be a mushroom dish.

A ripe avocado filled with a prawn cocktail with plenty of prawns & freshly made Marie Rose sauce followed by a steak Diane with dauphinois potatoes and fresh veg, a little late 70’s style but I just love those two dishes.

Never have a starter. Why have a small dinner before your main meal?

Main meal that I would like today would be fresh grilled tuna with lots of salad.

I’m getting hungry now .. had a horrible evening meal today because I was in a rush.

Tiptoes in and whispers, I love fried Spam slices with a fried egg and tomatoes and gastro chips

I never eat starters so a pud if you please?
Fruit crumble and ice cream or a really good banana split

Prawn cocktail, without the sauce.
Very well done rump steak with chips, onion rings and side salad.
Knickerbocker Glory!

One I haven’t cooked 😀

Eat your heart out nanna8. Mine on Sunday evening. Same favourite as yours. 😋 😋 😋

Antipasto
Crab linguine with a green salad
Coffee
I’m sitting outside a restaurant in Florence in September eating it. Heaven.

Fish and chips and mushy peas ,my all time favourite 😋

My ideal menu would probably vary depending on when I was asked, but right now, I would give anything to be sitting down to a proper Turkish meze, followed by a mixed Turkish grill and then, if I had any room left, possibly a piece of baklava with ice cream or sour cherry cheesecake. In Turkey, of course!

I'm very envious!

Taking many things into account ( budget, location, stomach capacity etc), I’d do vegetable pakora from my favourite Indian restaurant, rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and cauliflower cheese, and my friend’s Snickers cheesecake.

A Full English - with proper fried bread, none of your fancy hash browns, thank you very much.
And a huge mug of builder's strength tea.

Simple pleasures.

I never had a starter. I'd have some kind of fish (Red Snapper is my favourite though), or an Indian chicken dish for my main, then trifle for dessert

Sparglsouppe, mushroom risoto, gemischter salat including lentils or pulses, bread- strangebbrot, fruits. Summer pudding.
