Similar to what happened in our house....apart from" jesus woman make your mind up I thought it was Manu you liked"... he is so stupid my hubby some-times

I know! You can pick anyone's idea for your final menu...



I hope I haven't confused everyone

.

Anyway, your cake was too sublime to leave out.

Not sure that is right....you can vote for any-ones ideas.....So now do we vote for Martha rhubarb cake of Wormys

Good job MrPhilip is still in as I may have had to consider voting you out this week for underhand tactics

Come on, MrPhilb, we've waited long enough. You need to get a starter, main and pudding up on here before midnight tonight. If you do, there's only Very Red Robin who's done nowt.

You can have a look through the thread for inspiration and pick other's suggestions if you want. Or you can do your own.

Everyone is to submit a "final menu" by midnight, then we vote tomorrow for the winner (by PM). Once we've done that we need to agree how we're going to present it so keep checking your PMs.

Ok, the final menus are in and the voting must commence. I'm making a couple of executive decisions on behalf of dum-dum, barham red and SirStan who, for whatever reasons, couldn't post their choice. I'm going to submit as their selections the menus they submitted on the thread so far. Please can you all vote, by PM to me, for the winner. You can either vote for a complete menu, or courses from different menus. The selections: Sandra.

Sorry for the lack of input guys n gals, I had to shoot over to Germany at short notice and managed to sneak in the door during the 2nd half last night. I couldn't focus on Yorkshire food whilst gorging on 16 types of sausage, cabbage and wheat beer.

I will pm my vote.

Seven out of the ten votes are in.

Barham Red! Waiting for yours! PM me!

MrPhilb and Very Red Robin....???

This has certainly kept the Poll Dorset fiddlers quiet.

They're reminiscent of Germans in their manner of taking it way too seriously and hiding away in a private room.

We settled the food question in 5 minutes, but we've spent 5 days arguing about beer.

.....You consider drinks like Fosters! beer....Cat mate

Nothing but wife beater juice for us....

Hard as rock us lot in 'Ull

No one in Australia drinks Fosters, they don't even sell it at my local pubs

Not surprised

.....

Nobody gives a Castlemaine XXXX what you drink, mate.

Just in case anyone didn't receive the PM:





Please can you forward suggested descriptions?

Sorry I've been busy this weekend, is this what we're going with?

Looks good to me, Don't know how I can help with the descriptions, the only thing that I have a clue 'what it is' is the pig with an apple in it's mouth, that, and the giant tomato.

Sorry about the clumsy communication

. Please can everyone make sure their PM inbox is not full. Ta muchly x.

rice a riso
roast pork and veg
strawberry blancmange

I'm sure that's the $10 pensioner special at my local RSL club this week.

So when does this have to be posted - and is this where we post it?

Tomorrow evening I think/hope.

I'm not sure, where's Mild Rover?

Either post it here or, if you want, pm it to me and I'll post them both together. You've got about 20 hours to the deadline, but if you're ready go ahead please do. Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with.

We've got 3 eminent RLfannies to do the judging, so we're good to go.

How are your side getting on with account activation?

I'm off to work in an hour or so, and i'll put it up when i get home in the morning (if someone else doesn't beat me to it).

Some people have been activated - some haven't checked i think.

We decided to go with food we have all eaten and enjoyed, and the obvious choice for a group of footy fans was the food we love at footy games.

Your fine dining experience today will be delivered by one of Newcastle's premier establishments, Kenny's Pie Shop, situated in the prime commercial location of Turton Road, Broadmeadow, opposite Ausgrid Stadium, home of the Newcastle Knights. As you sit in the spacious Al Fresco dining area of Kenny's, you will enjoy magnificent views of the Ausgrid carpark and the rear of the future (hopefully) 'Danny Buderus' stand. Kenny's is also a recognised celebrity 'hang-out,' with NRL stars Josh Perry, Danny Wicks, Owen Craigie and many others being valued customers in years past.





Entree - The legendary Australian Sausage Roll - As made famous in the AC/DC ballad 'It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll'. This dish may also be suitable for Vegetarians, as it's doubtful that any actual meat is contained in this product, although trace amounts may be detected.

Main - Meat Pie - The traditional Australian fast food. Also known as a 'Dog's Eye,' 'Mystery Bag' or 'Maggot Sack,' this dish is considered to be compulsory eating for attendees of sporting events. Kenny's offer a wide range of pie varieties, and for this gourmet challenge the variety selected was the exotic and delicious 'Sweet Chilli Chicken,' narrowly favoured over 'Mushy Peas and Potato.'

Dessert - Vanilla Slice - The favourite 'cake' throughout Australia. Two layers of french pastry filled with baked vanilla custard and topped with fluffy pink icing and a sprinkle of coconut. Known to millions of children all over Australia as a 'Snot Block,' this treat has inspired festivals and bakeoffs from Victoria to Queensland, but few finer examples can be found than the Kenny's Pie Shop 'Snotty.'

Now to the main element of our fine repast, Beer. After furious debate we have reached a compromise, Toohey's Hunter Old, the black beer traditionally consumed by coal miners and Rugby League players and produced in Newcastle. This beer famously contains a steak in every glassfull (we don't know what that means either).

Postscript - 9 out of 10 of your humble reviewers reccommend the snot block be thrown in the bin and you have another beer instead.

I [iknew[/i you lot would call it dessert!
