Hogmanay is never the same without Black Bun and shortbread. Great for soaking up the beverage.

For my 3 course meal I need to use a time machine.

My first course would be in 1969, I would be an eleven year old boy who had just spent two hours in the swimming baths. What an appetite that gave me. I would have  a bag of Walkers crisps, a Mars, and a cup of hot chocolate from the snack bar. Did anything ever taste so good?

My next course would be in 1975, I would be seventeen. Mrs Red and I would be sitting in a Wimpy in Newark. She would have a toasted teacake and a knicker-bocker glory, I would have chips, fried egg, mushrooms, bacon, and those special sausages that only Wimpy did, cut so that they formed a circle on your plate. The world was a bright and shiny place. We were young, we were invincible, we were immortal and madly in love. Well the Wimpy has gone, along with the circular sausages. We are no longer young, immortal or invincible, but we are still in love. I'll settle for that.

My third course would be in 1989, I would be thirty one. It would be a Sunday and Mrs Red would have cooked a roast with all the trimmings. All the Kids would be there, my eldest would be about twelve. We would all be sitting side by side, (as you do in caravans) plates on our laps. We would be waving the cutlery around, talking, arguing and laughing with our mouths full. I hope I realised at the time how happy I was.


Now that I think about it there are several more courses I want to have again.

Please Sir, may I have some more?

A lovely, but quite poignant Post byTom, particularly the 1989 meal, which has deeper meaning than many would realise.

But after swimming in 1969 - surely not Walkers Crisps, was it not Smiths Crisps in those days, with the blue salt bag?

and 3d back on your bottle of corona

Ahh yes, bottles of corona, a shilling, with threepence back on the lovely, dimply, glass bottle.

And Jubbly's!

Wow a bike named after Chopper Flush :D :D :D

RED if you can find a wimpy they still do the round sausages, in fact i think they may be left over stock from the early 80's.

Banana Long Boats were the nuts.

Starter
Calamari en salsa

Location
Tapas bar jsut off Las Ramblas in barcelona on a warm, balmy day.

Crispy battered squid with a spicy tomato sauce, in a relaxed beautiful environ. Fantastic.

Main Course
Duck a l'orange with all the trimmings (honey roast parsnips, duck fat-roasted roasted potatoes, boiled, buttered carrots, mashed swede, roasted sweet potato, boiled green beans and orange sauce/gravy)

Location
At home with family and friends on a cold night in a warm house.

Duck's the nuts and although i love all roasts, the crispy skin and amazing taste of duck gives it the edge.

Dessert

I'm not a big sweet fan but Pavlova/ Proiteroles/ Eve's pudding are all great.

For nostalgia though I'll prob go for an indulgent knickerbockerglory at one of the ice cream shops on a steamy day in blackpool. Marvellous!

Starter
Loads of Extra Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings with loads of spicy sauce

Main Course
Chicken Tikka Massala with Pilau Rice and a Garlic Naan.

Desert
Dont really eat sweet things, some more chicken would be great.

Edit: Norrr, I Love Mussels. But the chicken wings are essential. Can i have mussels in sauce instead for my desert plz? The same sauce i had in Greece with them. With that Greek sounding name. k thx.

Starter - (I would take the time machine back to 1962) - A frozen Jubbly - " al dente" - I remember it being so hot in those days.

Main Course - 4 pennorth of chips scattered with fish scraps, cooked in dripping - drizzled with vinegar, from the chip shop at the top of Bridge Street.

Pudding - Rice Pudding with Skin

Dandelion and Burdock and a Park Drive (plain) - to finish

OK so people who know me, know I that tend to exist on a diet of burgers and chips with the odd steak thrown in - the bloodier the better...

But  - and this even surprised me - I think my fave 3 course meal would have to be....

Smoked salmon - drenched in freshly squeezed lemon

Reindeer - any which way - love the stuff
Failing that - a bit of Ostrich - which is the closest meat to it IMO...

Berries with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, with a side of toffees sauce, just because I can....
