First host, professional deer stalker, Christian Viola, is after the big bucks on Come Dine With Me Croydon

Christian's a confident man who knows his limits. Being a critical guest is one of them.
"If I'm invited round for dinner, I don't usually get invited round again," he admits. But he won't let a little thing like insulting his rivals distract him from the prize.
"Going into this competition I've got probably 100 per cent chance of winning."

While Christian puts the final touches to his starter, his guest range free around his house and discover his curious bedtime reading material - Cartridge World and Practical Poultry magazine. Mmm - relaxing. "Maybe he's a poultry assassin?" Lulu suggests.

With mulled wine to melt the ice, everyone is on their best behaviour. Or are they? Christian is less than impressed by Angelique's racy shoulder-less outfit and Lulu is in stitches over Christian's oldie-worldie-speaky.
"He should be teaching in someone's secondary school!" she laughs.

Over dinner it only gets worse. Christian's history of deer provenance isn't the conversation starter he'd hoped and Angelique's poor poker-face left no-one in any doubt about how she felt about the food.
"That bit of meat reminded me of a dog turd," she shares.

Starter

fruits de mer

The diners got hands on with an impressive plate of fruits de mer.
Unfortunately we can’t bring you Christian's recipe for copyright reasons, but try this seafood salad instead.

Main course

Muntjac medallions

Christian served Muntjac medallion with a lemongrass risotto and ginger infused jus.
Unfortunately we can’t bring you Christian's recipe for copyright reasons, but try this roe deer en croute instead.

Dessert

Zabaglione ice cream

Fresh from the bedroom - Christian's zabaglione ice cream, served with Marsala.

  2. Christian was excellent on the show...to all those who watched the show and said christian was annoying.....did they not see what angelique was like?? she was not only annoying but also extremely rude and childish! i loved theo as a person, he seemed decent - but christian was right - those mussels were murdered!! Christian should definitely have his own show - his food looked amazing and he is pure entertainment to watch!

  3. Christian was knowledgeable, confident, amusing, and completely stole the show. Channel 4 would do well to offer this man his own programme.

  5. I'm suprised Christian hasn't driven his wife to drink! As for a TV show, what about Christian instead of P Marco-White in Hells Kitchen? those celebs wouldn't last two minutes with him in charge.

  7. "Christian has to be the most annoying person I have ever seen on this program. He made me want to switch off." but you didn't. The most entertainment available. I did not like CDWM until this one. Can Christian be on again. More please. Cutting edge.
