22x146 - Norwich, Miranda Robinson

November 28, 2011

Come Dine With Me is in Norwich, and first to host is MA student and part-time waitress Miranda Robinson. With her staple uniform of high heels and short skirts, Miranda claims that although she looks like a bimbo she is actually rather intelligent. She hopes to impress her diners with her posh starter of Escargot de Bourgogne. Miranda is adamant that everyone should at least try her starter, but some of her guests find them hard to swallow, in particular fussy chip van owner Cheryl Pennell, who isn't keen on eating any "foreign muck". But house music producer Danny Bond - otherwise known as DJ Gadget Man - loves snails when they are cooked to perfection (he won't be satisfied with rubber bullets). Her guests are less fearful of her main course - sea bass with roasted vegetables - but local radio DJ Dave Webster does not spend his evening masticating over bones. Completing the Norwich line-up is self-confessed smarty pants Amy Nicholson who finds the perfect opportunity to show off when conversation turns to Miranda's ostentatious word-wall. So, will Miranda's saucy outfits, posh menu and high-brow dinner conversation bag her £1,000 prize? Or will the snails and pretension leave her guests feeling sluggish and uncomfortable?
