We pray to the same God Danny.

Amen brother.

OK, if she likes Indian:

1) Buy one packet of tikka powder and one of tandoori powder.

2) Buy a large pot of natural yoghurt.

3) In one bowl mix up one tbsp each of tikka powder, olive oil, yoghurt, lemon juice and garlic. In another bowl mix up tandoori powder with same ingredients apart from garlic.

4) Cut up four chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and stick half in each bowl and leave them in the fridge for a while.

5) Buy large bag of poncey mixed salad leaves (radiccio and all that stuff). Buy large ciabatta roll or small ciabiatta loaf.

6) Preferably grill, but you can also fry, all chicken pieces until done. Keep warm in oven.

7) Artfully fill half of two plates with expensive salad. Decorate with lemon slices and tomato slices, squeeze modest amount of lemon juice on salad. Add mixed chicken to other half of plates. Cut up roll/loaf and serve on a side plate.

8) Follow with icecream/chocolate sauce plan.

pretty good, fairly simple and a lot of option to alter and give it your own twist.

Actually, just to correct that above:

3) shouldn't have a tablespoon of chopped up garlic, just one or two chopped up cloves of it!! And you can leave it out anyway if you want...

7.5) garnish with fresh chopped coriander.

Unfortunately, can't get that in the mountains here, suits, but that's a good addition.

im a bit partial to indian food, chicken tikka madras with extra garlic.

served with a garlic naan and pilau rice with some icey cold lagers (stella)

if i was facing the chair on death row, that'd probably be my last meal, unless i could fool them into making me a dodo egg omlette.

get some seeds and grow it yourself, nothing beats fresh picked, and like chives and parsley its really easy to grow

Did the same with my Filipino missus, she got sick to death of steak and chips, I haven't cooked a meal for the last 6 years
