Don’t Think This Has Been Done For A While ( Tough, I’m Doing It Again ) ;0)

You’re hosting a dinner party for another 5 people
1) what you you choose as your menu?
2) who would they be, dead or alive and famous ....and why?

I’d have a starter of prawn cocktail or Melon balls and Parma ham
Followed by beef Stroganoff on a bed of Pilau rice
Followed by a choice of lemon cheesecake/baked Alaska or cheese and biscuits with grapes

My guests would be :
The late Duke of Edinburgh for his gaffes
The late Pope John Paul 11
The late Blanche ( in character ) from Corrie
The late Joan Rivers
And finally the late Sir Captain Tom

[emmie]

I would have
Fred Astaire
Robin Williams
Buzz Aldrin
Vera Brittain
Jane Austen

[Bobbisox1]

Robin Williams would be very entertaining Emmie

smoked salmon, proscuitto, with sour dough bread, then
lamb, with garlic, fresh rosemary redcurrant jelly, marinaded overnight, with Broccoli, runner beans and Charlotte pots.
Sicilian Lemon cheesecake for dessert.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m salivating now Em

[emmie]

Buzz Aldrin because he has stood on the moon, how amazing is that
Robin Williams, he would be the entertainment factor
Jane Austen because her books are true to life, even today
Vera Brittain author of my favourite book Testament of Youth
lived through the Edwardian times and through WW1.
Fred Astaire, just because he's my all time hero.

[ToraToraTora]

I would have TGM, TGL, Gene Kranz, Jim Lovel, Freddie Mercury.
TGM because he's the greatest Briton.
TGL because she is our greatest leader after TGM and they'd have some amazing conversations.
Gene Kranz - Just a legend of NASA read his books
Jim Lovell - Another legend but I always consider as Gene did A13 their finest hour, to fail but get them home safely, magnificent, just finished Lost Moon and it's better than the film and the film is magnificent.
Freddie Mercury - Well I guess with al the above the mood may need lightening at some point!
As for food, sod cooking we'd send out for a Ruby!

[emmie]

what if no one liked curry...

[pastafreak]

Jane Goodall...primatologist
Billy Connolly
Noel Fitzpatrick
Alistair Cooke...a very well spoken British born journalist from my childhood
William Morris...Victorian Arts and Crafts design innovator

I'd start with a big plate of anti pasti...meats, cheeses, olives
Then veal ossobucco...a rustic stew of veal shank and carrots, celery and shallots with crusty breads, lots of red wine
Lastly...New York cheesecake

[ummmm]

Jeremy Clarkson
Piers Morgan
Christy Moore
Mother Teresa
And a ref to split up the fights :-)

Starters - Avocado, Palma ham and mozzarella salad
Main - Tuna steaks with a spicy salsa
Pud - Ice cream and jelly. Never too old for ice cream and jelly

[Bobbisox1]

[Bobbisox1]

Well since you’ve just been on since January yourself, you wouldn’t, would you :0)

[pastafreak]

Why not veal, Bobbi?

[anneasquith]

Robin Williams, no disrespect to him, but I’m not too sure he would be in the mood to entertain .

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve tried it before Pasta, didn’t care for the taste

[pixie374]

The company would be more important than the food... so... Hugh Laurie, Derren Brown, Stephen Fry, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson.
Maybe whitebait, steak and blackberry and apple crumble and custard.
