Vanilla,
Last Year's challenge was a bit of a dissapointment. In the end Piggy won it with Beans on Toast for goodness sake. I sent him his €20 voucher as promised, even though he graciously offered not to take it because his "entry" was more of a joke.
But If I'm going to do it this year I'd be demanding that there be at least a couple of entries before the prize would be paid out. In principle I'm up for it again.

For a bit of background this started from a TV show on BBC (I think) where a young girl getting her finances under control was challenged to cook a meal of 3 people that cost no more than £5 Sterling.
She cooked Salad, Pasta, and had Red Wine to drink.

"Grub"? You mean like Jenny Bond?

One week to the closing date. I suspect there won't be any Grub for you to eat.
My €20 is safe.

Are you allowed to use lobster and champagne as 'cooking implements'? for example:
'mix the batter with the tail of a live lobster, and then tenderise the meat with a champagne bottle'
Of course, the exciting part of the meal is that you get to eat the very tools used to cook it!
