So who is it - who is on Come Dine With Me?

[Mick Mac]

Yeah - why did they ask you...Is it well known that you are a great (or crap) cook Heidi?

I watch it every time I see its on and even have the book...I think it hilarious most of the time and yes the voiceover guy is very funny.

I especially liked the Roy ("the Legend") Walker episode recently with Les ("Don't call me Les") Battersby.

It was fantastic. Anyone else see that one?

Someone once told me I looked like Roy Walker.......not sure that's good (or true).

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Only some of the mummies in Dulwich have tasted my food since I cooked for their kids as a nanny....I don't recall macaroni cheese, sweet potato pie and mild curries scoring high or featuring on that programme...or pureed food in plastic bowls....

A belated Please stay on topic request. ???? and Dominatius please keep your squabbles umder control and consider yourselves warned for innapropriate language outside the Lounge.

[PeckhamRose]

I was also invited to take part but my cat is under stress at the moment because of the new carpet being laid in the hall, and the Feliway diffuser designed to give out happy cat pheromones is playing havoc with my lungs, so I also had to decline.* Had I taken part I would have donned my Nigella Lawson short cardi and wide belt, my black Dominatrix wig like Ness in Gavin and Stacey, and made a cheesy fish bake from the Dairy Diary c.1990. For starters, some fruit and for afters, some chocolate. I wouldn't have won but I might have then been offered to be in How To Look Good Naked, crying at myself in the mirror wearing me five year old knicker and bra set from Primark whilst being oh so grateful for the humiliation situation yet to come. I'm a masochistic exhibitionist. If people don't laugh and love me, I get off.

All the above other than my cat and my lungs is a lie.

It's not *Bob* as he's looking for rugs still

Oh hang on maybe that's why he was looking, to "snaz" up his bedsit

W**F

Love CDWM, and I'm not ashamed to admit I once applied to go on it, so there. And I can't wait for a local episode. Local lady Linda Barker was on the celeb version once and Lordship DIY was featured as she had to rush out to replace some cooking equipment; can't remember what now. Ooooh imagine the queues at WR next Friday. Shall we all go with our buggies mums? Get in the way?

Damn, PR it sounds like one of the best shows yet.

I've now got My Lungs Don't Lie to the tune of the Shakira song going through my head.

Any thoughts concerning your cat I will of course keep to myself on the basis that I try to carry myself as a gentleman at all times.

[LibraCarr]

Hi,

I was also asked to take part in the programme. I submitted my menu for them to peruse. I was turned down because my Shepherds Pie contained real Shepherds!!! I asked them how about Toad in the Hole then?

Better go the nurse is coming back!

Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

[Libby]

There was a poster outside the Post Office in Dulwich Village last week, it was asking for people to get in touch if they want to take part in the programme as they are making an episode featuring people who live in or around Dulwich.

[mrs f]

I LOVE come dine with me.... I can't wait to watch this......

http://dulwichonview.org.uk/2009/11/27/come-dine-with-me-in-dulwich/

If anyone finds out when it is on please let us know!

[Louisa]

I would just like to finally declare that yes I did apply for this show some time ago and was turned down. For various reasons I cannot disclose too much information as to why they turned me down, however I am rather angry that an ordinary girl such as myself doesn't stand a chance on such a show, presumably because I dont buy organic carrots or pretend I am saving the world with my ethically farmed smoked salmon!

If I had of made the cut, I would have happily made my homemade Sicilian Duck (something I proudly conjured up back in the 70's). I have had numerous dinner parties and have consistently received praise on every ocassion. I personally think these stupid shows are a bloody con and that they are blatantly fixed from the start. I spend many hours in the kitchen playing with various bits of meat and fish, conjuring up new recipe ideas. I was approached by a leading magazine back in 1986 to do an article on my homemade puddings. I have always received a warm response from anyone who has ever had a mouthful of my treacle sponge. So if I had been unfortunate enough to have been invited on, I would certainly have dished up some of that for dessert!

As for the starter, well you cant go wrong with a melon with the cherry in the middle, and yes before the Islington Organic Brigade (ED brance) come down on me, they would be fresh cherries from a supermarket, i'm not a complete killjoy you know!

Bloody load of nonsense that show is, it makes me angry just thinking about it. Back to the bottle of sparkling shiraz on the side me thinks!

Cheers!

Louisa.

[????]

Fantastic - 8/10.

[Ted Max]

I have always received a warm response from anyone who has ever had a mouthful of my treacle sponge.

You are the best, Louisa.

[Huggers]

Louisa, any chance of sharing your treacle sponge recipe? sounds yummy and I'm fed up of all that tsuname or whatever its called.

[SimonM]

Clearly the reincarnation of Fanny Cradock is alive and well and fuming in Dulwich! I am sure I cannot be the only red-blooded male here who yearns to taste Louisa's treacle sponge: let us be grateful it wasn't the legenday spotted dick...>:D

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Have to say, SimonM, old chap, "leg end ay" sounds a bit saucy!

[Louisa]

I would share my recipe but the last time I did so a certain gentleman who shall remain nameless stole it and went on to win the cake competition at Ilfracombe Carnival with my Bakewell tart recipe! Cheeky bugger!

I have fiddled with a spotted dick recipe in the kitchen once or twice but sadly it doesn't quite cut the mustard. I am still learning!

Louisa.

Wonderful. You are the new Vivian Stanshall.

[SimonM]

"leg end ay" sounds a bit saucy!

I confess this was down to my wizened old digits trembling with excitement over the keyboard. I have problems with my "r's"....

I have an "Apple Legover" recipe I am willing to exchange, but I hesitate to fiddle with a spotted dick...Perhaps we should start a pudding club in ED? Would you care to join PGC? B)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Let's not - there'd be no room for the resultant bugaboos.

[Louisa]

Any such pudding club endorsed by me, Louisa - will have written in it's constitution something along these lines;

'bugaboos and the adults who push them are not to be allowed within 20 yards of any pudding club meeting, ever'

Louisa.

Come Dine With Me in entertainment programme and not sociological documentary shock.
