Great British Menu 2: Food Fit for Darkest Peru

[EsmaCannonball]

New thread.

Jerry Sadowitz cabbage. Only sold in Booths and Waitrose.

I'm surprised the Chinese banquet is this high given they hated the noodles and cabbage

I know how did she get 4th ?

I think you can have a great restaurant dish from a chef. However “banquet worthy” needs sous chefs.

How can offensive cabbage be doing so well compared to a dish with criticism of just too restauranty

Yeeeeeesssss

Tom I knew it

we didn’t like the pie dish

we wanted picnic

Wooohooo for Tom.

Tom's my favourite but I do actually feel a bit sorry for Adam. He's consistently stronger than most of the chefs but is always just pipped.

Am feeling a little sorry for Adam. Only a little, though.

Bananaman v Banksy for desert?

I thought the pie that was done years ago was a true cow pie

Banks y my favourite for pud

Bananaman vs. Banksy vs. The BFG. (IMO, the BFG dish looked beautiful and imaginative but the food connection to the brief wasn't great.)

I can Adam getting the consolation canapé slot at the end of the week

Poor Adam

That was intense!

I love Tom, I saw a couple of interactions with the girls and he seems a genuinely nice guy.

would be amazing for him to get the desert dish too, but I think it’ll be the Banksy one.

I also loved Lenny as a guest judge, he was so enthusiastic.

finally, like we’ve discussed, the way the show works has left so many good cooks behind in favour of other not so great ones and I feel it doesn’t do the worse ones any favours because poor Mark has come last twice (I can’t remember his desert) and I feel it gets a bit humiliating and it also reduces the pool of outstanding competing dishes.

looking forward to tonight’s.

I think Adam should have got the fish course.

Now we have Indian (I think?) followed by Thai followed by Pie. I think Adam's salmon dish would have made a better transition.

I'm hoping Gemma wins dessert, she's upped her game in most courses and the bfg pud was gorgeous looking.

Lenny did make a good guest, he ate everything with enthusiasm and chatted easily.

Yes, Lenny was a good guest; liked his food and a strong enough personality to have his own opinions.

I'm just going to say I really hate the computer generated paddington

I just want to say that Andi gives me hope that women in their 50s can wear sparkly eyeshadow. And wear it fabulously. I love her eye makeup...

I'd forgotten how many good puddings there were.

And why does everyone in peppa pig look like a 1960s hairdryer

Morwenna Banks. Stoneybridge! I loved Stoneybridge's bid for the Olympics.

That giant industrial kitchen only has the one oven?
