Apparently it's Eat What you Want Day. What a shame I've only just realised. Still I'll do my best to make up for lost time . So, what would your favourite meal be, if you could have anything. Starter, main and dessert?
S: Calamari rings
M: Fish and chips
D: Chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream.
Followed with a coffee. With skimmed milk of course.
I should preview too as they are rightfully Maman Potatoes!! Actually Raymond Blanc's Maman Potatoes.
Floury potatoes peeled and diced [1 cm - sort of)
Heat frying pan then add the dried potatoes and vegetable oil. (Approx `1 tablespoon per large potato)
Fry, stirring occasionally, for approx 30 minutes [ish]
Stir in finely sliced shallot
Fry a touch more
Add one biggish blob of butter, lots of chopped parsley and salt and pepper.
You can cook them really slowly or they keep warm for a while too.
We have them as a healthy alternative to chip pan chips!!!!
Any fish or shell fish will do - not mussels as I'm unfortunately allergic 
Lobster would be acceptable.
We've just had king prawns in a lime and mayo sauce with melon and papaya for lunch- dead easy and delicious summery dish.
Puddings - I love junket and clotted cream., or trifle is always good.
I'm thinking summer here aren't I
I'm sure it would be different if it was the winter!!
