Great British menu season 17

[jay55]

BBC 2 8pm tonight (feb 1st) Tom Kerridge is one of the new judges.

Can't wait to see some soil and steam and shoehorned themes.

Eek that fat a bit too much

I dislike Dave

I don’t really get the link to the brief on this - how does it relate to Cilla apart from being on a black plate and under a black cloche?

Is it really rude to BA flight attendants?

Fruit and meat no

I like apple sauce with my pork, can even understand apricots, but not sure about mango & passion fruit

Oh yeah sunbird. I do like apple sauce with pork. But passion fruit

I had passion fruit in equator and they were enormous and tasted a lot different to here (like eating melon abroad). Maybe it tasted better in her head

Ecuador

I do like pan fried trout. Could do without the nasturtium leaves though

Don’t like her dish at all

Jeez water bathing fish. Just cook it

Yeah dull cooking agree with judges

Was just going to say I think last week’s lot were a bit better

Disappointed by all of them last week was much better

I had to leave before they ate the fish. Doesn't sound like I missed much 😞

Caroline was great fun. I liked seeing a female contestant who wasn't reticent about her opinions. I knew she was doomed when she did a non-fishy fish dish.

I wish Hrishikesh Desai would compete for the north-west again. He was always so imaginative but the former misery-guts judging panel always did for him.

Well if you are going to use Gigha halibut (hard G pronounced gee -ah) learn how to pronounce the name of the island!!! It's not 'Geeg - ha' ! A professional chef should know. Put me off him straight away although I do love Gigha halibut despite how much it can cost...

Evening! Not sure I can really be bothered with this bunch for the rest of the week…

Soldier on sunbird

Pigeon Parma something. Ffs

Evening.

Saturday night takeaway. Ffs 100 years and he's inspired by that. And seriously pigeon and not pizza?

Nobody ever said the words a nice pigeon bolognaise

He’s annoyed me now. Parmo is very much a North Eastern thing, made more obvious by the Ant & Dec link, but he’s supposed to be representing the North West!
