We don't know about you, but Itchy are massive fans of Come Dine With Me. We love
the unhinged contestants, the half-baked (sometimes literally) recipes, the genius commentary. And most of all we love the conviction that each and every one of us harbours that there is absolutely no doubt that, if we were to lower ourselves to becoming a contestant,
we would win by a mile.
But just what does constitute the perfect dinner party? A starter, main and dessert are the basics but done badly they can be
as much a hindrance as a help. So it's a good idea to have a couple of traditional crowd-pleasers up your sleeve.
Everyone loves a wafer thin mint, and After Eight, the nation's favourite dinner party mint, are the obvious choice. Just don't stuff yourselves first or you'll end up with
an impromptu re-enactment of the Monty Python sketch and the carpet will never be the same.
