All the starters and the pie with chips please. I'll pass on pud and cheeses... and just lime and water, not in the mood for wine today.

[mccfluff]

fizzy with lime pls

[merciasounds]

Oh supersuezy, from the comments and hassle I get you'd think I was the devil incarnate, not somebody trying to give people ideas as to what to cook for a change!!

[eash]

Yum, I think I will have mushrooms to start, then fish, chips etc and then lemon merigue pie,cheese and I never got to finish that bottle of Ameretto from yesterday so a glass of that over ice please! :-)
I will try your quiche later this evening as knowing me I am bound to get peckish later!

[AB Editor]

Deep fried garlic mushrooms, Fish & Chips and the Black Forest Gateau for me please.

Spare Ed

[Eve]

I can't decide between the mushrooms and the soup!

Definitely cod for main.

I will pass on dessert today but raid the cheese and crackers instead, normal coffee.

Not in much of a wine mood either though it's it's icewein like the Canadian one then I'd be up for a bit of that :)

Hi Mercia, I have missed your daily menu!

I will have the mushrooms, steak pie (boy have I missed pie) and black forest gateau.
And plenty of wine!

[society]

I do hope Gjetost is on the cheese board. :-)

[merciasounds]

yaytoast!! Sorry - I sometimes get pantysgawn which is a Welsh goats cheese and a name that gives us a laugh, or gevrik, which is Cornish goats cheese.
I once bought some gjetost, and everybody gave it a wide berth - i like it, hubby doesn't!!

[supersuezy24]

Sorry Mercia, I only noticed your response to my question earlier now, Ah sod them and ignore them :)

Nearly missed today's menu. Garlic mushrooms with sour cream dip, Steak and ale pie with new potatoes, and lemon meringue pie for me please. Oh how I could just eat that.
