Come Dine With Me.
 

Does anyone else watch this programme on Channel 4 on Thursday evenings, from where it's been moved from an afternoon slot?

Basically a group of strangers take turns to entertain and cook for each other, and award marks at the end to decide on a winner. The guy who does the voiceover is hilarious.

I did ponder whether we should actually have an Accy Web version, but on second thoughts it sounds like way too much trouble.

Instead I thought we could have a virtual version.

Come up with a three course menu, and any other details that you might like to provide.

I'll invite you to my house first.

Menu.

Onion soup with a Gruyère crust.

Kedgeree, served with a wilted spinach salad.

Cheeses and fruit.


It might be a very simple menu, but it could all be prepared in advance, as being nosey I hate being stuck in the kitchen, and not joining in the conversation.

You'd have a plentiful supply of whatever drinks you wanted, and be hopefully entertained by tales of the daft things I've done in my life, such as the Holland Park dwarf in a drawer, and the Glaswegian wheeled woman stories...if you haven't heard them before.

I'd try my very best to make sure you had a fun and entertaining evening, and I hoped you didn't discover anything too shocking whilst you were rooting around upstairs whilst I was decorating the kedgeree with the boiled eggs.

Thanks very much for your company.:D

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

Well I'll happily have you all over to my virtual home.

My first course will be

Red onion tartlets with goats cheese
A twist on the traditional roast turkey meal with all the trimmings
Cheesecake with strawberries

But before everyone arrives I'll just need to order a skip to remove all the rubbish from our bedrooms and the garage so that people don't find it a health and safety risk.

I'd entertain everyone with my old 1980's CDs and a game of scrabble - in which I would probably endearvour to lose so that someone else stood a chance.

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

After I take the goat to the vets I can sort you out with something else for the first course :rolleyes::eek::D

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

Your all more than welcome into my virtual abode,where i shall treat you to.....

Vol au vents with pink salmon and cucumber
Vol au vents with leek and wild mushroom

Slow roasted lamb with mediterranean veg (peppers,auburgine,onions and thick courgette slices) with mint and rosemary sauce.

Strawberry angel delight with pink sprinkles

and iced pink doughnuts with frothy coffee to finish.

My evening entertainment would be hula dancers and me encouraging everyone to spill the beans about their most embarrassing moments.....as well as telling my own.

Enjoy :)

Re: Come Dine With Me.

For main course

Salmon and prawn en-croute served with chargrilled asparagus and baby new potatoes with best butter.

Followed with

chocolate fondue spiked with your favourite liquer, served with fresh strawberries, marshmellows and homemade flapjack squares.

All served with a nice cooled dry white wine

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

You should have been on last week's Come Dine With Me, as it featured Prestonians.

You'd have won with that menu....just as long as you didn't retire to your bed half way through cooking the main course, have a major strop because you weren't the centre of attention, or serve a hard pear in a pineapple, as some of your fellow Prestonians did.:D

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

never seen the show but will watch out for it

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

Last weeks one from Preston was one of the best yet.

Very funny assortment of characters.:p

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

just found it on catch up on demand so will watch it now ta

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

I think the producers of the come dine with me last week had a bet to see if they could get the strangest most peculiar people from Preston in a room at the same Time!! Good entertainment!

Re: Come Dine With Me.
 

I TAPED THEM ALL AND WATCHED THEM BACK TO BACK TONIGHT,,,THAT CARPET CHAP WAS A REAL PAIN,,,BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THE HOST FALLING ASLEEP WAS A FIRST,,,THE BEST MAN WON AND GAVE HIS WINNINGS TO CHARITY
