Suggested Menus - thoughts ???

[johns]

Attached are suggested menus for our gala dinner at the Hilton. We can mix and match things from any menu if we wish, and even come up with other suggestions. There will be vegetarian options available for all courses regardless of the choices of main courses.

Any thoughts ?

I?d probably go for something like Manx broth, roast beef of the chicken en-croute for main, and any of the desserts (or all )

I?m also (very) partial to smoked salmon as a starter, so would possibly suggest that as an alternative, but I?m not sure what everyone else thinks ?
