I need some good ideas folks.

We've been invited to dinner at a friends on Friday and I want to take something home made.

I like cooking and baking and can't for the life of me decide what to do.

So can any of you give me suggestions pleeeeeeeeez!!

Group is 2 Americans, 3 Egyptians, and me the Scot.

Menu is
Chicken Parmesan
Tomato Pasta dish ? spag or penne?
Garlic bread
Olives and pickles etc

Then
home made apple pie with a crumble topping

Now I need to make something that compliments that menu.

Any ideas folks?

I good at most types of cooking like Italian, Indian, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican etc and have all of the spices and things.

I just can't think what will go best

Egyptians like danish blue as it was the only blue cheese you used to be able to get in Hurghada but i always got my sons to bring Stilton from UK and my husband loves it.That idea i gave you for peppered mushroom should be finished of with stilton then popped under the grill to melt it........Delicious

My husband likes blue cheese with fig jam, which shocked me because sweet and salty are one of his big hates normally.

I sort of like the jalapeno-cranberry preserves or jam or whatever that you can get around here. Whole Foods always has some setting out to sample with a nice cheddar.
