Doing a lock in come dine with me?
Three courses all made with things in the store cupboard plus dairy & one protein
Extra points for inventiveness and use of canned products
Not just the menu you have to say how you make it but don't need to actually write the recipe
oh and you have to add an Entertainment !
If nothing else it might give people ideas on what to do for meals.
Maybe the AB editor can decide the winner!

Baked Chickpea 'fritters' made with mashed chickpeas, dried coriander, cumin onion and garlic granules with sweet chilli and raita dips (plain yoghurt and some of that jar of mint sauce at the back of the fridge)
Baked Chicken breasts stuffed with bananas, served with butterbean and sweetcorn succotash style sauce, using creme fraiche and fresh parsley from my windowsill sweet potato mash and peas sweet potatoes from the veggie rack, peas from Captain birdseye
Dessert chocolate and peanut ( defatted peanut powder) pancakes filled with black cherries canned and Quark and rum sauce
But short on the booze front so jugs of white wine, gin and elderflower soda or real ale
Entertainment..... With all that fibre the men may wish to go into the balcony for fartlighting, the ladies will play such simple games as pin the willy on the hunk, vibrating egg racing, and other such delights I knew my days as an Anne summers rep would be useful one day

Fish fingers en croute made with a pack of 18 fish fingers rolled up in a thing of watercress and then that pack of filo pastry shoved to the back of the freezer and forgotten about which has been spread with tartar sauce mixed with salad cream to make it go further. Served with crushed garden peas a la cap’n Birdseye.
Pud is those forgotten about out of date ginger cakes miraculously turned into a bread and butter pud with home made custard, a jar of crystallised chopped ginger and some ground ginger stirred through, and liberally sprinkled with Demerara sugar and chopped mixed peel before baking.
A bottle of M&S meal deal white wine which no one fancied till now to accompany the main course, and a small bottle of dessert wine left over from Christmas to have with the pud.
Some indoor fireworks which are about 15 years old for the entertainment, with a jug of water on standby.
