So where's the challenge? - your dish must contain at least three of our mystery ingredients!!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?!  So put your thinking cap on, get those cookbooks off the shelf, and make and post your dish by Sunday 16 November.  Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.
