My dinner guests would include my father. I didn’t get to meet him as he died when I was less than a year old. It’ll be really nice to meet him to find out more about him and to share my experiences in life so far.
Next up would be my mum OR my other half because we need someone to cook! Barack Obama is arguably the most powerful black man EVER and he is a great orator. I’ll get him to make a speech and also get some tips on public speaking. I might even try to get him to give me a leg up with acting in Hollywood or perhaps coerce him into committing to many courses of actions that favour me.
Janelle Monae is one of my favourite singers and you always need entertainment at a dinner party – so she’ll be singing after dinner. I’m a diehard Manchester United fan so I have to invite Sir Alex Ferguson. I feel he embodies the never-say-die, determination and consistency that has kept the club thriving for so many years. I’d have him there to make the dinner-party cross-generational (he’s 70) and just so I can gawp at him like the true fan that I am.
Finally, I’d invite Jesus so he can say the Grace and share some wise words and parables with us. We’d have a feast. I suppose Jesus can turn water to wine so we can just have water and request Jesus turn into whatever liquid we want. I suppose he can do the same thing with fish. But perhaps we should give Jesus a break, as he’d be there for dinner after all.
I’ll ask my wife to cook some smoked salmon salad as a starter. For main, we can have a feast of sea bass fillets/stewed chicken/fried chicken/grilled lamb/vegetables/Moroccan couscous/jollof rice – the mains will basically be a free for all ‘have what you like type thing’. I’m not really big on dessert but if we had to, I’d go for frozen yoghurt. To drink we can have wine/champagne/water/juice – Copella or Innocent and perhaps some fizzy grape juice.
