      And, of course, no meal would be complete without a bottle of Blue Nun (or for the truely pretentious - Black Tower)

      Joking apart even the prospect of a grand wouldn't tempt me into spending an evening with most of them.
      Not a great menu, agreed, but a good steak can be wonderful; it's just so hard to find a really good steak. I don't like chips though; why can't I have boiled potatoes in restaurants?

          norrahe's ambitious menu with well considered accompanying wine was popular with the contestants and rockets into the lead with a massive 25 points. Its going to be hard to beat

            An exotic menu containing endangered species has failed to impress and lags behind on 17 points.

                      Yes. I blame the feminists.

                      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
