A meal for Sherlock
We all know that Sherlock does not eat whilst working on a case. However, let us assume he is having a bit of a fallow period case-wise. What meal would you cook for him? Any ideas?

Re: A meal for Sherlock
I'd cook him a huge bowl of spaghetti with pesto - noodles make everyone happy!

Re: A meal for Sherlock
Well, I know he likes Chinese because he recommended it to John at the end of Study In Pink...so I guess a nice chow mein would do.

Re: A meal for Sherlock
So far we have dim sum starters followed by spaghetti with pesto (yummy) and I will add strawberry Angel Delight (a study in pink). Any other suggestions? What about drinkies?
Let's have dinner!

Re: A meal for Sherlock
Drinkies? No Moriartea, obviously. What about some nice ginger (not auburn!) tea?

Re: A meal for Sherlock
Ha! I love the idea of ginger tea. Maybe he likes ginger beer?
What about a gingerbread men as little petit fours? But not ones burnt to a crisp!

Re: A meal for Sherlock
A simple omlette because it's quick and easy, which covers Sherlock's boredom threshold! I'd add a few mushrooms and onions to make it a tad more interesting and make sure he got a healthy veg portion! I'm sure he doesn't eat enough fruit and veggies! 
(I'm exploring all the really old topics...thought it might be fun to re-vive a few!).

Re: A meal for Sherlock
I am no master chef, but I make a mean pasta with bacon and mushrooms in cream sauce... the secret is the splash of kids style salsa.
And as a drink... well maybe some fine french lemonade? (I would have served him wine but I know nothing about wine)

Re: A meal for Sherlock
Regarding the fact that we never see him eating any meat I would go for a vegetarian option.
Eggplant parmigiana pizza and panna cotta with strawberries for dessert (now I am getting hungry myself)

Re: A meal for Sherlock
^Ooh yum!!
Speaking of dessert... I think I would make up for the slightly fatty sauce with my family raspberry pie recipe. Easiest thing to make and tastes awesome! And has no fat in it either... (Which you can't taste)
