Come Dine with Me - Season 12 - Eps 5: London: Thoby Young
Thoby Young is the last of this fivesome to host. The other four have listened to Thoby talk and talk and talk about his knowledge of food during the week, and so he will have to put his meal where his mouth was (as they do not want another dissertation at dinner) to impress. Ethical foodie Thoby hopes that knowing where his food comes from will help make the meal better. His menu consists of buckwheat blinis with smoked salmon and *farmed* (ethical) caviar as the starter, osso bucco with risotto bianco as the main course, and Mr. Tarty's blackberry and apple tart for dessert. He also has an after dinner surprise listed on the menu. The ethical issues of food are again brought to the forefront during the meal. Believing Mr. Tarty will win the day, Thoby soon finds out if that is indeed the case as he announces the winner of the £1,000.

Synopsis
Amateur chefs compete against each other by hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration.
