We are off to a 'pot luck' brunch on Sunday - I am taking mini toad in the hole (that's fairly English) and Smoked Haddock Pate (cos I am Scottish).

I once went to a Super Bowl party and forgot the side dish. So at the last moment I stopped in a McDonalds and ordered 'ten super sized French Fries' please. They had to cook them fresh for me (a plus) and gave me two huge bags filled with golden deliciousness.

I arrived at the party, made a beeline to the kitchen and said 'give me the biggest bowl you've got' dumping in all the fries.

They were gone in minutes.

Findus crispy pancakes, or fish fingers if the parties on a Friday.

If you want to trawl through some recipes for inspiration try
