Ok, to put the starter into some context, if you check the gardening thread you'll see that I was over at my dad's place earlier and took some pics, one of which was of the courgette plants in his greenhouse:

So.... Spying some of the flowers on the courgette plants, Del decided to make a Tuscan classic, which is fried courgette flowers, stuffed with ricotta, parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, served with a fresh tomato and basil sauce:

Followed by, as mentioned earlier, homemade steak pie with shortcrust pastry, assorted veg, hasselback potatoes and mash, with homemade gravy:

Awesome stuff, Gary. I'm not a black pudding fan, but the rest looks superb... You can't beat cooking with your own produce!:)
