Who'd be an AB Hotel Chef?

[albaqwerty]

Inspired by Eccles memories of food from child-hood.

The guests would have to be partitioned off and the chefs would be tearing their hair out.

If you didn't have to foot the bill, what would your ideal 3 course meal be?

Whatever Dickythecook is going to surprize me with.

[craft1948]

Mussels
Lamb chops (pink please)
Profiteroles

Rare tuna steak with roasted veg and a spicy sauce...

Black forest gateau.

[albaqwerty]

oooh Crafty, I'm now torn between prawn cocktail (I know very 70's) or mussels.
(How ya doing? OK I hope x)

[Psybbo]

No I didn't know Alba but I meant a virtual meal

[albaqwerty]

I'm getting hungrier now, I missed lunch :-(

[albaqwerty]

lol Sibs, it was just in case Dicky showed up at your door!!

[EcclesCake]

At the moment I would be more than happy to sit down to a beetroot, goats cheese and walnut salad with winter leaves, steak frites with bearnaise sauce and watercress and clementines in a cinnamon infused caramel.

However I'll have to make do with chilli which is quietly bubbling away.

[ummmm]

I als.o love prawn cocktail.

I buy my prawns from the Asian shop.....lovely

[albaqwerty]

You may or may not know nor neither care, but my main has to be beef stroganoff.

[craft1948]

Been out for the first time this morning alba................feel a lot better from the fresh air (even though it's freezing)

[albaqwerty]

Craft, glad you managed out. Being confined to 4 walls can be a nightmare.
You'll get there girl!! xxx

[dickythecook]

And you thought I wasn't listening?;-}

[albaqwerty]

lol Dicky xx
mention cake and you get B00 and Fluff. It's inbuilt :-)

[sunny-dave]

Right now I could just about manage :


Scallops with Black Pudding & Crispy Bacon

Baked Lobster with Clam Sauce - with some wild rice and fresh petit pois

Tarte Tatin with a nice sorbet (perhaps pomegranate) and clotted cream

[albaqwerty]

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh Dave, that is not crass in the slightest :-D
(love your protest btw)

To think we're just having chicken kievs tonight :-(
(well, not you and me 'we', we as in this household!)

[dickythecook]

For sibs. Todays offering is homade meatloaf served with a cauliflower cheese bake. Cucumber relish and pickled chillies at the diners discretion.
Sorry it is not more adventurous. It is tasty mind.

[rockyracoon]

I was going with scallops with chorizo til saw SD's with black pud and bacon,

So I'll have that followed by a nice medium rare ribeye, spinach with chilli and garlic and proper chips.

Baked alaska

All washed down with a nice rioja.

[albaqwerty]

<groan> I'm hungrier than ever now.

Was in a meeting earlier this morning and my belly started rumbling at 11.30 :-)
Didn't get home til gone 1.30.
