    I quite like something simple; pasta with pesto, rocket and spinach. Yum. Don't use pasta shells or the pesto collects in the shell and it's too strong, fusili is best. Oh, and don't forget to flake some parmesan on top. :yum:

    You can add whole tomatoes if you like, but I can't eat them.

    Rice, peppers and balsamic vinegar is quite nice, too.

    ok go to "Cooks.com" and you will find everything you've ever wanted. I'm always on there getting new ideas for dinner. It's an awesome site for recipes!

    What I usually do for bbq's etc is rice, red peppers, sultanas, pineapple, a splash of the pineapple juice and a splash of some kind of salad dressing containing things like orange and/or honey.

    erk, parmesan, a great way to make dinner taste like feet.

    chicken and bacon, cooked, cold, in a salad, that's tasty.

    Spaghetti with pesto and creme fraiche (little bit of garlic puree) with onions, mushrooms, corgettes, bacon and red pepper. Absolutely delish. :thumb:

    Rice dish:
    Morrocan style: cook some lamb, dried apricots (cut up) and some roughly chopped fresh mint in some stock then mix with rice when cooked.
    You could also add some almonds or something similar as well if you wanted

    Pasta dish:
    Cook some nice sausages in under the grill until ready, whilst these are cooking, poor a tin of chopped tommatoes into a pan and add some fresh basil, worchester sauce, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion and maybe a little tobasco sauce or chilli power. Let these stew on a low heat in the pan for a bit then when the sausages are cooked - chop up and add to the rest of the ingredients. (then mix with cooked pasta)

    ooh yes please :)

    I did rice with boiled eggs chopped, tuna, sweetcorn, peas, red peppers, baby plum tomatoes, spring onions and soy sauce in the end. It was yum.

    Gotta say I'd prefer the feet. I don't even like parmesan on somebody else's plate. That smell ... Yuck!

    Agree about the paella. I cooked my first one last week. Despite having practically none of the ingredients. I had to substitute the mussels, pancetta and prawns with a can of tuna and some ... er, sandwich ham. Was surprisingly edible.

    peas are only nice if they have gravy with them.
