Come Dine With Me (Part 2 of 4)

Come Dine With Me Part 2; It's Amee's turn and the theme is 'Curry Fest 2013'.  A good job really, as both Amee and I were given the caveat that if we didn't incorporate Curry into our menu then we would automatically be deducted points.

It all kicked off with a little manilla envelope arriving in the post.  I open it up and inside was the invite with the menu written in the smallest font possible.

Our menu options (if you can read the small text in the picture above) was to start with Curry, then to have a main of Curry and then to finish with Curry.  That's a lot of Curry.  Good job I love it!

As per last time, I won't offer any of our thoughts on the menu or how the food was, as I don't want to ruin our video.  But see for yourselves and decide what score out of 10 you would have given:

Canapes:
Samosas, Spring Rolls, Crispy Mogo with a selection of chutneys and Indian snacks, washed down with a glass or few of Prosecco

Starters:
Mumbai Bhel and Chilli Paneer, washed down with more Prosecco and I think there might have been white wine...

Intermission:
Courtesy of Jess and Bing, a little bit of Bollywood dancing... I believe the saying is 'screw the light bulb and pat the dog'

Main:
Lamb Biryani, Vegetable Curry and Raita... and more wine

Dessert:
Rasmalai, Barfi and Coffees

The funniest story of the night was towards the end whilst we were eating our dessert.  The Indian dessert was Rasmalai, a traditional dessert, which raised a lot of interest from the baker in our group, Bing.  'What recipe did you use?  Is it a cake?  What's it made out of? Does it have flour in it?'

It was almost like watching the Spanish Inquisition.  You could see the beads of sweat appearing on Amee's face as she tried to answer Bing's questions.  And then the penny drops... 'Did you make it?'  'Ummm... I can't take it anymore, no I didn't make it, I bought it from the shop!'

There's no hiding anything from our group Amee!
Next up is Jess.  Best of luck.
