    Cold Starter:
    Prawn cocktail:

    Shred some lettice.
    Slice some cherry tomatoes.
    Put into bowl (season with s&p)
    Put a few prawns on top.
    Make a Marie-Rose type sause (Ketchup + Mayo)
    Paprika on top and bobs your uncle

    Hot Starter

    Stuffed Red Peppers:

    Half a few Red Peppers.
    Drizzle with Olice Oil and throw in oven.
    (while they are in the oven sort out the filling)

    Filling:
    Just slice a few rasher and mushroom.
    Saute in pan and then throw filling into the peppers.

    Alternative:
    Start to scramble some eggs in a pan. Add spring onion + chive.
    Fill the peppers and then finish with grated cheese.

    Enjoy.

    If you wanted to do without the hassle of cooking/preparing something you could buy some nice antipasti if you're near a decent deli.

    Nope. Correct forum alrite.

    See my earlier post on this thread.I suggested 2 starters already but also I just happen to agree with Hill Billys comments also.

    If you dont fancy cooking starters then dont.

    quazzy - I think that bonkey is just taking the mick.

    OP - If you could get back to us with what you're doing for mains we'd be better able to give you a few more ideas.

    i'm doing chicken for mains.

    the stuffed peppers sound lovely, going to give them a trial run this weekend.

    i love mushrooms but have done the stuffed one's so any other variations would be great.

    thanks again.
