We've got the following choices:

Menu 1 **Lighter menu**
IKAN KETJAP (POLLACK)
Nasi goreng/atjar katjang

Menu 2
DUCK BREAST WITH ORANGE SAUCE
Parsnips/salardaise potatoes

Menu 3
DUO OF SPRINGBOK WITH POMEGRANATE
Red beans/oven-baked potatoes

Vegetarian menu
OKRA TAGINE

I'm thinking that the springbok sounds good.

Don't be sorry - he was very tasty. The caramelised parsnip was lovely as well.

Lamb gyros is lovely, especially with plenty of tzatziki.

Oh and I wouldn't kill for a good source of Stilton over here, but I'd be prepared to maim.

yeah but the good fat.

MACKEREL IS ONE OF THE most nutritional fish we can eat, thanks to the omega 3 oil – also found in salmon, halibut and sardines – that it contains. Ideally we should be eating this kind of fish at least three times a week.

oily fish are an essential source of protein, vitamins and minerals. More importantly the fish in this group (including mackerel, sardines, herring and tuna) are rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's can't be manufactured in our bodies so they need to be consumed as part of a balanced diet. The unique benefit of EFA's is their ability to form long-chain polyunsaturated fats that are used by the body for a whole range of functions, chiefly in cell repair, which maintains healthy reproductive, nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Baked salmon with a caper and chilli topping and side salad of rocket, watercress, tomatoes and red pepper. Pudding is mango (the lovely ****stani ones with the caramelly taste) and ice cream.

And just settling down to watch France v South Africa.
