Ok, so me and a few friends are doing a take it in turn dinner party type thing, and my theme (not that we specifically need themes) is to incorporate some form of alcohol into every dish (being a home brewer, what else was I going to do!). So far I've got:
Starter: No idea.
Main: Pork Loin stuffed with bramley apples with hefe-wizen mashed potatoes, cider braised/sautéed/caramalised red cabbage, some form of green veg and cider gravy.
Dessert: Chocolate & chili pudding with a chocolate stout sauce.
Still very much in the ideas floating around phase so ANY suggestions you've got would be appreciated (even if it's criticism of things like the hefe-wizen mash pairing with cider gravy... maybe I could do bramley apple mashed potatoes).
I don't think I'll be pairing beer with these as half of the guests are girls, and I know one doesn't like beer and I don't want her left out (or reluctantly drinking my lovingly crafted home brew just to fit in!).
