Leg of lamb with garlic, rosemary, soy sauce, honey and coarse grain mustard. Cooked in the oven for hours and hours till it falls off the bone - served with plain veg ... probably new potatoes and green beans and/or purple sprouting.
Not that I've given it much thought 
That sounds gorgeous Rexi - I love lamb, but OH hates it so we never have it. When can I come round?
Actually I do a similar hours in the oven type thing with pork so I'd probably do that.
just made my greyhounds a sos and egg sandwich each
although after the youngest one ate it she held up a card and shouted 'SEVEN' len stylee..im going to have to stop her watching strictly come dancing

Mine would be traditional roast pork with all the trimmings......plain and simple, like me
Chilled avocado and leek soup
Scallops, atlantic prawns in a creamy white wine sauce with linguine.
Pannacotta with a rasberry jelly prosecco topping
And an absolute must a cheese board to finish!
Ooooh, I could be persuaded by that Sooz - leave out the avocado in the soup though 
god knows, but i know id make tiramisu for pudding , i can do a brilliant authentic Italian one.

Sunday dinner is my speciality too.
All of this sounds delicious *nips off to supermarket for extra pork*

You wouldn't like to do an old forum pal a favour and pm me the recipe would you? I want to make it for Xmas day pud
for you my dear, i shall dig it out and send you it
I love love love love cooking.
However, I don't think I could do 'Come Dine With Me'. I like to know what people like and try to accommodate for them.
Edit to add...I can't do cakes

Oh I know I couldn't.
The pressure of being watched - I would be all fingers and thumbs.
It also seems to me that some people forget it is all about the food and the whole experience and that a simple dish beautifully served and seasoned is oftenbetter than some complicated nouveau cuisine thing.
