I would like to see the following take part:

John the Resonator
Doasilikey
E-Types
Asbo Uncut
Muffindamule

I have no idea what the food would be like but I would guess 'varied'. The conversation, however, would be sure to be interesting. Perhaps Brunning999 could be on stand-by in case things got out of order- guaranteed!

I reckon we might expect the following menus:

John the Resonator : Dill on cucumber slices, Coronation chicken, Chocolate melody surprise.

Doasilikey : Frogs legs in aspic with genever, Beef in beer, arctic roll in a lager syllabub.

E-Types : Pickled Trout, Grilled Pike with root vegetables, Trifle.

Asbo Uncut : Mini fishcake a la McDonalds, Wimpy High Five Burger, Mango au Cretin.

Muffindamule : Marinated truffles, Slow roasted zebra steaks with oatcakes, Chocolate log.

As Blind Haze has suggested Rich.Carol could be present too to provide the prize money and as an additional judge in case of a tie.

This is heavily edited to make all the contestants looks like numpties. It used to be about the food, now it's about lunatics who are just after their 15 minutes of fame.
