You have unlimited budget so feel free to add gold flakes to everything 😂

Mine's quite boring as I'm fussy so I look forward to seeing yours which I'm sure will be much more adventurous!

Starter - Cheesy garlic pizza bread

Main - Stuffed crust 4 cheese pizza with goats cheese

Dessert - A warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, and let's throw on some of those gold flakes!

What would yours be?

    Haha when I read the title I was thinking I'd seem a bit basic if I put pizza and wondered if there's anything else I would prefer, I'm glad you're a woman after my own heart @Rachel_Scope!!

    I don't think I've everrrr finished a three course meal but I'd go salad for starters, just a simple salad with no dressing (I'm not a fan!)

    Main would be pizza, I'd make it a half and half pizza, one side veggie and one side pepperoni so I get a choice of flavours

    And a gooey chocolate brownie for dessert, yummmm

    But now I also want a roast (as long as I haven't had to cook it). Or macaroni cheese. 😍🤤

    Wow this is my favourite conversation so far! Also would struggle to do 3 courses but happy to try! For starter I really like lentil soup :)

    @Anhedonia2 I also like salad with no dressing, I’m glad you have said that! Nobody else seems to think like that so I’m glad someone other than me does 😂

    For main I’d like paella! Chicken and chorizo paella!

    And for dessert warm chocolate fudge cake for me too, with custard :)

    You can't really beat lentil soup, I like to crumble a couple of oat cakes into mine; oh and it has to be Heinz. 😋

    (i) Dal soup.

    (ii) Planty Lebanese Style Bowl, with added white piilau rice.

    (iii) Alpro Plain No Sugars Dairy Free Soya Yogurt Alternative, with pineapple chunks.

    (My diet has changed greatly in recent years).

    Starter: Tomato soup (I'm weird, I only like Heinz's)

    Main: Scampi and chips (No Peas or Salad) with a BIG wodge of Lemon on the side.

    Afters: Massive bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce and flakes.

    Yay another pizza lover @Anhedonia2! I do love a bit of pepperoni so a half and half is actually a great idea.

    Great choice on the dessert @yellowpineapple84. I'm not sure I can get behind the idea of a salad though, too healthy for me 😂

    Speaking of healthy, you've made some good choices there @ChrisR777. Did you change your diet due to health issues?

    Tomato soup is a good idea for a starter @SheffieldMan1976. I've just gone full carbs and dived straight into cheesy garlic bread! I'm not sure I could even finish my dream meal 😅

    Eating a vegan diet just crept up on me, I had been a vegetarian since about 2007. I am not even sure you can call me a vegan, I just stopped eating dairy products as well about a year ago, and I also avoid eating anything involving animals.

    Surely you eat some sort of plant based food? Your diet must be deficient in so many vitamins and minerals.

    I eat Bananas (and even then someone has to remove the string)

    Have you tried dried fruit, such as apricots and dates? Medjool dates taste like caramel.

    Fruit gives you fibre, vitamins, minerals, and bananas are also a good source of potassium, but it's vegetables like broccoli, and green beans that will do you most good. Have you tried mange tout? If you couldn't handle them on your plate, what about making a smoothie with them? I bet your taekwondo group would keep you right. 👍️

    Nope, I hate all Vegetables, it's the textures (it's an Autism thing) you see.

    Are there other autistic people in your home, have you ever asked them what they do with regards to vegetables!

    I'm autistic but love vegetables, there are some I struggle with but on the whole I could eat most veg. Fruit on the other hand…

    I'm okay with it dried or in smoothies though, or sometimes I blend it up and put them in porridge 😅

    I've never tried a Medjool date

    I only get them occasionally with my Sainsbury's delivery, as they are quite expensive (£5 for a 500g box).

    They do Deglet Nour dates without stones, but i find them rather bland.

    Have you tried putting peanut butter in the middle of medjool dates @ChrisR777? It's so delicious, reminds me of a bit of the snickers chocolate bar!

    Mine would be…

    Starter - cauliflower wings and sweet chilli sauce

    Main - A baguette with lots of different fresh crunchy salad and crispy tofu with different types of pickles and olives on the side

    Pudding - an ice cream sundae with all the trimmings

    Oysters or Muscles for starter.

    Chicken and Mushroom Risotto for main.

    Rhubarb or Apple Crumble for desert.

    (Sorry to any vegans/vegetarians reading this - I've gone heavy on the fish and meat 🙈)

    That sounds nice, I might just give it a try. I find Meridian peanut butter compliments a great many things.

    They're also delicious with a bit of dark chocolate melted over and put in the fridge @ChrisR777! If you do try it, let me know what you think!
