Angie if ya ever in East Sussex, you';d be more than welcome......

It is funny. ..5 strangers are put together and take it in turns each night to cook dinner for the rest. At the end of the evening, the 4 who haven't cooked that night, secretly give marks out of 10 on how good the food was and how good the host was etc. The one with the most points come Friday night, wins £1000 cash...

Whirley - Try to catch this on a Sunday evening, and thoroughly enjoy it. I don't like it when the other guests go upstairs and rummage through the host/hostesses personal things. Wouldn't like them going thru' me knicker drawer. Even OH not allowed to do that, but then again, don't think he knows which one it is. I think the voting can be very tactical sometimes, even seen people knock a point off before the results are given. You can get the recipes off Channel 4 Food site

nice one Joy, reminds me of the women (she was a dinner lady) who served up ice cream (not homemade) with crushed maltesers (not homemade)and stuck squirty cream on top (you know that horrible gear in a can)........Pippa the bunnybolier was in that one, she was NOT amused!!!

Julie, thankfully I missed that one!!

I presume they are interviewed beforehand although sometimes I wander!

Once I saw someone making pavlova - I think she tried to do the meringue 3 times - ran out eggs - went to the shops & forgot she had put the oven on with another meringue in!!!!

i really like this programme. Best bit is the guy with the sarcastic voice overs, always makes me chuckle.

I watch it on Sundays where I can watch all weeks in about 2 hours.

Julie - I saw rhe one with the pigs trotters. They are positively evil, and must be an acquired taste.
Just after the war, me mam used to get these from the butcher,probably for free or 1 old penny. She used to boil them for stock to make soup, and was probably the nearest thing we saw to meat in those days. Then she took them out of the pan and threw them away, and added diced veg. and soaked peas. You added a good blob of H.P. Sauce and with a hunk of bread, and it was our main meal. It was so thick, you practically had to cut it with a knife.
