Juliet loves food and hates fussy eaters. "I hate it when people say 'I won't try that' - I think 'you will try that!'"

Juliet's fighting talk means she's got a tricky customer in fussy eater Adish, who's not keen on the sound of the salmon main course. "Last time I had salmon I was sick!" says Adish.

Juliet slated Greg's hosting yesterday but now she's the one in the firing line, she's much more accepting of his garrulous style. "Greg was a wonderful host," she gushes.

But Greg's not returning the love. "Fish again?" He moans. "I used to be a fisherman and I don't eat fish unless I caught it the same day." A dark cloud descends over the salmon.

As if it wasn't enough to give Juliet's food a beating, fusspot Tom has even got something to say about the way she opens her wine. He lays into the 'two handed gadget' most of us refer to as a corkscrew before producing a waiter's friend and cracking open the second bottle himself - Take it easy Tom.

The cheeseboard is Juliet's baby but guess who's not keen? "I hope I don't gag on it" says Adish. So do we.

Foodie Juliet served her guests a fancy starter of Arbroath smokie pâté, served with chunky toast fingers.

Her main was another fishy dishy of roasted salmon steaks with leeks in a teriyaki sauce, served with roasted vegetables.
Unfortunately we can't bring you Juliet's salmon recipe but try Jamie Oliver's hot smoked salmon with chilli salsa recipe.

Fussy Adish couldn't escape Juliet's favourite fromages on the assorted cheeseboard, served before a crowd pleasing pudding of baked Alaska.
