I'd love to have you all but it is a 60th birthday celebration for a dear friend of ours and he absolutely loves the Avengers ( I think he considers himself very much like Steed and he is also English). I thought it would be a great idea to have a theme night. In fact, we often do differnet themes/ fancy dress nights- we had a venetian masquerade night last year. We have done previous James Bond nights- I did prawn cocktails, Beef Wellington and crepes Suzette. On Spanish night I made gazpacho, paella and crema catalana. French night was lobster bisque, coq au vin and a French cheese board, all with appropriate wines, of course. It's so much fun to be a specific character and we all get a laugh out of it. It is also a great way of forcing you to cook from various cuisines and eras except that I haven't done a 60s one up until now! The fact that everyone who comes goes to such an effort with costumes etc makes it really fun and no-one feels like a d**k!
