Great British Menu 2: Food Fit for Darkest Peru

[EsmaCannonball]

New thread.

I liked Marianne when she competed before, but this looks like something served in a 1980s health food café. Dry and earnest.

Yeah sawdust on a plate

I love a pork pie crust, I'd be so miffed to see it was a vegan version on the menu. Wish she'd done the real thing for main instead.

Oh, this is fun presentation. I am liking the T(h)oms.

Kareem's dish could also be inspired by Lord Percy's attempts at alchemy.

Pingu!

Och Marianne. Bowl of soup bit of fish at bottom

I'm glad the standard this week is better but it does feel a bit unjust that only one person from this heat can go the final, especially when compared to last week.

The Shaddock Condiment sounds like some high-concept sci-fi installment. The Matrix Rising: The Shaddock Condiment.

Too restauranty? He served it in variety pack cereal boxes.

If it was really like Highlander they'd all be beheading each other and the last few heats would have been far more nail-biting.

He did

Better than last week though for sure

A bit off topic but…

could they raise the score blackboards next year?

they look so awkward when they’re writing the number, especially the twisty eights, someone’s gong to injure their wrist soon….

Just watched it, yup better round, both Toms good. Agree re raise the blackboards.

Evening all. I saw a bit of yesterday but with no sound. It looked like it was generally an improvement

Off topic? That is by far the most pertinent point anyone has ever made on here.

Evening.
I loved Brambly hedge and had totally forgotten it existed.

'I've treated the cauliflower like I would a piece of meat.'

Hope it's in a union.

Pie and steak. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Well, I'm hopeful for main course hitting the brief (although this has to be the 3rd or 4th time we've had cow pie over the years?). Previews indicate that at least one dish today is going to be good....

I have a Brambly Hedge boxed set of about 7 little hardback books - the illustrations are beautiful

There have been a lot of pies this series.

What's usually more disastrous: pressure cooker or sous vide?

The boil in bag is dangerous
