"Come Dine With Me" - Captains Challenge
My Four Guests
I'm not going to tell you why but I'd love to hear why you think why ;)
Immanuel Kant
Freddie Hubbard
Clara Twomlow
Isabella Rossellini
My Menu
I am assuming that my guests have already told me that they're not allergic to anything and have no major dislikes.
Aperitifs & Canapés upon entry and before dinner.
Starter
Salmon Mousse served on a bed of lettuce and chopped peppers with an accompaniment of new potatoes wrapped in Palma ham and then slow roasted and served with a sweet chilli sauce.
Main Course
Roast Chicken stuffed with an onion, sage and apple stuffing served with a selection seasonal vegetables and hassleback potatoes.
Dessert
Four individual "bite-sized" desserts comprising of a traditional sherry trifle, lemon meringue, orange cheesecake and a chocolate & beetroot brownie.
Chinese Tea to end the evening.
The Table Setting & Theme
The table would be set with all appropriate cutlery and condiments along with a jug of iced water, a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine.
There would be no theme as such as I often think these things can go horribly wrong but the evening would be elegant but simple. A refined night with gentle conversation, a relaxed mood and stylish background music.
Why I'd Win
I am and would be the perfect host. My guests all compliment each other and are all people who I know I'd be friends with given then opportunity.

Hmmm...
That doesn't sound like enough wine
