• No more than 3 photos to be entered unless stated by the theme setter.

• The competition will run until the last Sunday of the month, once the new theme has been set by the last winner.
• The poll will commence ASAP preferably the Monday and voting will last for a week.

The theme for this month is Rich Man, Poor Man. The challenge is to create a dish where the key ingredients are one luxury ingredient and one 'poor man's' ingredient. This could be a starter, main or dessert.

The closing date for entries is Sunday 28th April
The subsequent poll will run until Sunday 5th May

I may not find enough time to enter this month but if I do I will probably look to do something with black pudding, matching it with either king scallops or foie gras.

I guess the competition is all about how we each interpret the challenge and I'm quite interested to see how everybody approaches it. When I think of poor mans' ingredients I think of things like pig trotters, pork/beef/fish cheeks, offal, black pudding, fish like pollack, carbs like polenta and so on, but please don't be limited to my interpretation.

Please post again tomorrow so that we know not to worry. Good luck

Reminder that the closing date is this Sunday. I hope I haven't nerfed the new momentum with an unpopular theme

Who was the runner up last month? Perhaps they'd offer a theme for April?

I haven't been asked to supply a winners apron for ages, can someone mail me the winners details from now on?

There's a winners apron?

Mr G, YHM.

OK, I've updated the original post with a new deadline of Sunday 28th April, so we have an extra month in which to get our entries in.

Mmmm that gravy looks fantastic. Sounds awesome. Great take on the brief.

Yeah, time to move on. Sorry, I seem to have borked the cooking comp.
