Great British Menu 2024 Thread 2

[Sunbird24]

Sorry about the unimaginative thread title!

Thank you!

Placemarking for later.

Thanks, missed last nights while out on the town. Which region is it?

Thanks for the new thread @Sunbird24

@jay55 It's Wales this week. Chef is Lisa Goodwin-Allen (with the lovely Tom Shepherd doing the fish judging as she's got a shellfish allergy).

Thank you.

Tbh, not enjoying this theme. Or this series. Hanging in for MoH, must be next week? Love Michael.

Same here. I thought this would be a very easy theme for them but banquet-worthy dishes have been very thin on the ground in comparison to previous years.

Very low standard so apart from the first week and maybe the second. When you look at that medal dish served up last night and compare it to the stopwatch in the first week or two, the difference was utterly dismal.

Hi,

agree with posters re Corrin, might be a lovely fella but is coming across as a bit arrogant.

i don’t know if I’m expecting too much, but I think the production team should vet the connection to the brief before they come to the show. Get them to send an email with the description and a pic of the final dish.

what’s the point of having the theme if they’re putting them through whether they link it to it or not.

finally, I’m sure cutting the sushi is very hard but it didn’t seem like there was much cooking involved in that dish.

the guy that went out reminded me of the actor in One Day.

Sushi masters might say there isn't much skill in roasting meat, it's just rub some stuff on it then whack it in the oven for a specified length of time.

You’re probably right 😂

I can believe this - I’m not a bad cook, but I have really messed up my attempts at sushi!

Tonight ✊

Just catching up. My goodness they're a young looking bunch this week.
But so lovely and I do like Lisa.

I loved the loook of the sushi course, understand it wasn't practical for a banquet but I'd like to eat it.

I'm all ready for more medals and flames

Pigeon shooting 🤐🙈

Hot pot 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I still can't work out the arm. I can see the elbow remains untouched.

What is with these tattoos they look horrid

Beetroot puree sounds like mud on a plate to me.

I watched yesterday’s today. There was a pond thing in a weight looked murky and horrid. Aged grains. 😳🤮

I've just googled them. Apparently they are called blackout tattoos and they are a thing. Sometimes they cover up old tattoos but some people just like them.

Bits on a board 🙈

To me, the banquet worthy main dishes are always hearty and generous. Think last year's beef pie or Spencer's elegant Pride and Prejudice feast.

The chefs trying hard to say nice things.

Agree Esma. You need a big dish so people go ooooooh

not bits on a board where the chef is experimenting with his theory

I'm also thinking of Spencer's Blackadder Speckled Jim dish and the flying feather cannon.
