Hi Pengy 

Hello EC

not very inspired by this meal - it's a bit hmmm bland

I'm always disappointed when they serve Tiramisu - I am a b it bored b y it now.

I wonder if the minced meat she used was really horse meat

It feels like a normal meal to me. Spag Bol and Bruscette.

there is a bit of overkill with Tiramisu, lemon posset and any cheesecake - we need more exotic, exciting puds

I don't think people these days understand the concept of a 'dinner party' - it's pub grub or a Sunday roast

Would be nice if it were 

I make my own pasta because I'm allergic to eggs and most pasta is egg included so I use an egg substitute - love making pasta   and hanging it on poles to dry

gawd he's a bit doom and gloom himself

this is making me hungry I had lunch at 11.45 and now I'm starvin marvin

Outside ? 

I have not eaten all day.

Bought some Tesco finest soup to have. Easier to eat.

They will spot the base is shop bought, but it looks nice.

No   I have special dowling that I thread through two kitchen cupboard handles and then hang the pasta off - sometimes I cut with the machine sometimes with a pasta wheel if I want a fluted edge

I'm back

Just in time for the final night 

through a big straw (McDonalds thick straws are brilliant for just these occasions which I why I may have a supply of)

meh!  nothing to write home about - the food was a bit bland and average although they seem to like her Tiramisu

for just once I'd love to see an Asian contestant step out of their comfort zone and instead of cooking a curry try their hand at something else

Costa coffee do a souper (see what I did there) large straw too 

I drink in Costa quite regularly.

OMG 

I was just about to start my answer with the very same word

  then purloin a few cos you never know when you might need them and if like McD's they're in paper so will keep nice and clean

Yes, I don't get it.

Is he a nutter?

because he's a pain

Ooooo I love a bit of Bangra music

Welcome to the coven

Thank you Baz + Pengy.

the curry looks lovely and they all seem to like it then again most Brummies do seem to like their curries
