12x19 - Come Dine with Me

Patrick Walker is the host for the evening. His "old fashioned hotel food" menu consists of scallops with black pudding as a starter, sole Florentine (pheasant Florentine for fish hater Gavin) as the main course, a jalapeño, lime and mint ice as a palette cleanser (which ultimately does more than cleanse the palette for one guest), and crème brûlée for dessert. He is as impressed by his menu as he is with his kitchen utensils, the "biggest in the village" which impresses the ladies of the village in his estimation. He is not impressed however by any of his guests. His guests ultimately have issue with a last minute changes to his menu. More fireworks occur at dinner between Patrick and Carol, this time by a comment by Carol about Patrick's dogs. By the end, the evening totally deteriorates.
