What's Cooking? January Competition!

Some of you found my Xmas quiz this year a little hard, so to ease the pain of now being in damp, recession-clobbered January, here is an easier competition which any of you could win!

Who does this belong to?

Take a look at the photo above. A bottle of champagne to the first post which correctly identifies:

A. The original owner of this oven
B. What was in the cooking pot
C. Where this picture was taken

Don't know? Don't despair! I'm giving away four signed paperbacks of Dead Man's Footsteps to the most inventive/amusing fictional guesses!!!!!

Please leave your answers in the comments to this post -- and don't forget your name too in case you win!

B.Salmon-ella, a lovely dish to serve to the one you hate.

Love and kisses Nigel C.

I reckon Peter, though it's too late for the champagne prize, it's:

1. Belongs to Alfred Hitchcock
2. Ravens
3. The site where they filmed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

1. I am
2. None of your bussiness!
3. Actually I would really like to know how you gained access to my home!!!

It is still not too late for the Champagne prize - the competition is open until the end of the coming weekend, Sunday Feb 8th!

All best

Peter

Oh, in that case, a case of the Louis Roederer Cristal will do nicely, thanks.

Cheers,

The owner of the stove and large cooking pot is a Mr Dennis Nilsen, of 23 Cranley Gardens, Muswell Hill, London. The cooking pot was used to boil the flesh off the skulls of three heads. The last head was simmered on the 4th Feb 1983. Lets hope it was not for his dog Bleep !!!!
