Your ideal menu

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.

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.

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 cool cucumber and mint consommé .

Lobster thermidor .

A rare steak with asparagus and rocket .

Strawberry , raspberry and peach
in a fresh fruit salad .

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.

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.

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.

Fresh asparagus followed by a full traditional Christmas dinner.

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

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.
