FabSwingers.com forum: Off menu

So based on the 'Off Menu' podcast I've been listening to... If you could have anything, from anywhere in the would, what would your dream meal be?

Starter

Main

Side

Dessert

Drink

Restaurant rules include calories don't count and you don't get full til you've finished.

Mine would be;

Starter - a cheese board but also with fried halloumi, saag paneer, baked camembert and a Greek fondu too. Almost like a cheese tapas.

Main - A huge rare steak topped with garlic king prawns and triple cooked chips. A red wine sauce.

Side - Pork dumplings from a Thai food stand at last summers Kendal Calling (best I've EVER had).

Dessert - a trio of mini desserts. Raspberry panacotta, Eton Mess and plum crumble with custard.

Drink - A french martini but in a larger amount than a martini glass!

How about you, what would you choose?

Have the bread before you start. On the podcast they do ask poppadoms or bread! X

In that case, 50/50 split calamari and the dumplings you mentioned. I love dumplings and I’ll take your world for it that they’re the best

I disagree with a cheeseboard as a dessert mind!
