Thanks again for all your suggestions on the other thread. It was hard for the judges to shortlist but they have deliberated and have come up with the shortlist for each course on which you can now vote . They did an excellent job and a big thank you to fellow judges Lancashireredhead, Sinister Spinster and Allessabdra_B. 👏

Voting closes at 8.00pm on Sunday 1st June and results will be announced soon after.

To simplify things, please keep your post to the format of the example below ( H-hors d'oeuvres, S-starter, M- main, D- dessert ) and only one vote for each course or your vote will be disqualified sadly. The top 5 for each course (6 for main) after all the votes are counted will go on the final Fab menu. Thank you so much and I hope that everyone will vote.

I'm so glad the cheese board wasn't squeezed into the desert menu! ...and seeing as Mrs.KotCT skipped her main, can I steal her plate and add M8️⃣?
