And hang on, the judges bloody loved Paddington's random Chinese buffet.

Sod the props, you need marmalade.

We just said that. And a suitcase

Andi seems remarkably laid back about the shellfish cock#ups as she’s allergic too - Avi obviously didn’t start again completely.

Dunno about a princess, but glad Adam doesn't have weapons right now.

Yay! So glad Nick got it.

Just leaving my username here…I love how she has a matching one for every outfit.

I imagine Avi was just phoning it in tonight- nobody wants 2 consecutive courses.

Anyone else think that an Indian starter followed by a Thai-flavoured fish course might be a weird sequence? They never do seem to judge based on how the dishes go with each other do they?

Yes, they used to have a top 3 (2?) and then decide the menu at the end so it flowed. Made more sense to me, but less telly drama I suppose.

IIRC, the Desperate Dan pie and Adam's Wind in the Willows picnic were good. I don't even care if Adam beats the Chinese buffet.

Evening. It's freezing here tonight. I'm hoping the ovens on telly will warm up my room.

I'm hoping the Chinese buffet gets a serious wtf from the guest judge.

littlbrowndog · 29/03/2023 20:08

That Chinese buffet. Poor Paddington

littlbrowndog · 29/03/2023 20:09

The pie was good but I think they had pie at banquet before

Me too. I think there's far too many shit connections to the brief

littlbrowndog · 29/03/2023 20:11

That’s a lot of. Brown on that plate

jay55 · 29/03/2023 20:13

It looked like someone had picked a few bits off a posh buffet. Not a meal.

I think an Aesop's Fables dish should be Greek.

Hang on, was the giant pie just a prop?

Yup. It was plastic

Wolfcub · 29/03/2023 20:21

God that pie looks good

BiliousOhGod · 29/03/2023 20:22

Hmmmmm. I was wondering if Adam would be complimentary about this, as his only real competition so far, and he's doing his own prep, so didn't join in.....
