    I'm with Numpty on the pea front - can't stand the things!

    The 2nd set of photos do look rather 'undergrowth' like - all leaf and no substance! Although Snaggles' description has had me giggling too - thankfully I'm on my own in the office! So lead swinging going on here too!

    Sally - matched betting does look rather complicated doesn' it?!

    Sammy I thought you'd given up your letterbomb campaign against the estate agents of Bromsgrove? :p

    I was guessing pea n ham soup (very 70's!) for starter, we now know what the fish course is! So main course is lamb shank and some poshly titled vegetables? Then pudding is something like, oh I don't know, rose ice cream in a brandy snap basket, with some kind of pistachio choc cake, with a thislyis fruit thing - possibly!

    Pretty good guesses there!

    Spinach soup, soya cream and red pepper sauce with garlic croutons
    Deep fried whiting with tomato and cardamom relish
    Osso-buco of pork with maple and star anise
    Blood orange sorbet (no mention of the choc thing :confused: )

    and the other two are
    Marinated langoustines with coconut risotto
    Ballotine of duck with beetroot and caraway served with seasonal vegetables

    Sounds better than it looks!
