Totally! It would be good to see people get creative with low sugar and carb!

Hello all

Wondering if anyone else watches ‘Come dine with me’?
I totally think they should do an episode where all the contestants are T2!

Hi,

interesting concept. Instead of scores given on the ride home. (Am I thinking of the same games show?)
BGs taken & errant spikes deducted from the host..
The prize could go to the least in the “red.” Or putting the guests out of range..

But so easily pranked by a “win-at-all-costs” contestant ;)

Maybe different dietary regimes could be represented on the different nights: Eatwell plate one night, vegan another, low carb another, carnivore another... then the experts could try and explain the results the guin... contestants had :D

What would you cook?

I would cook:

Starter: Chorizo and prawn stew, with pine nuts and lime dressing
Main: Chicken parmigiana (spelling!)
Dessert: Cheese and crackers

I always want them on CDWM and Dinner Date to do a "normal" dinner - frozen chips and fish fingers and beans - just for the comedy value.
