Great British Menu 2024 Thread 2

[Sunbird24]

Sorry about the unimaginative thread title!

I wish Colin had got to eat the stop watch dish.

Nice high scores! Thankfully....

I’m not, he seems to have been quite arrogant in ignoring feedback - and now his bao buns aren’t even going to look like shots, they’re going to be like giant zits!

(Surely he must have rehearsed with the charcoal to know it wasn’t going to work?)

Aw poor Larkin

That true

Corrin deserved to win but feel bit sorry for Larkin his food was good too.

We've got Northern Ireland, the South West and the North West left. Let's hope there's someone really exciting.

Hopefully Esma

He did make some changes to his starter adding crispy texture as Lisa suggested and taking the pork out of his main

but the bao buns looked horrid & really he should have changed the whole thing

I wish we got to see all the scores in this round.

We did just at end. They showed scores on each round

Just on a few dishes though - two for each chef?

@Sarvanga38 He said yeaterday it had worked with charcoal when he'd tested it. Lisa asked him to add ice and lemon to the tea which he did but the bao bun was never going to win the dessert course.

Just got in, guessing from the thread that Corrin won.
I’ve had moules marinières, porchetta with mash and roasted carrots, and an affogato. (And a small glass of wine!) Nothing exactly banquety but at least none of it sat on a rock or squirted at me!

While Corrin was clearly better on the day, nothing looked like a banquet dish. Maybe the pigeon was best of a pretty poor bunch.

I didn’t think it was fair to criticise Larkin’s fish course for being backward looking with no real connection to the current Games when Corrin’s main was in the same position and not a thing was said about that.

Final scores

Corrin: 28, 33, 27, 39
Larkin: 33, 24, 28, 27

so in all, Corrin won by a big margin because of the desert, all other scores cancel each other out.

I think the sense of camaraderie and calmness in the kitchen made it an easier watch this week but agree that none of the dishes looked banquet worthy (especially when you think of dishes in previous series). I'd have to have a veggie option of pigeon was anywhere near the menu 😓

I was quite cross watching last night.
None of Corrin's dishes were banquet dishes and Tom giving a 10 for his dessert when it could fit in the palm of his hand 🤷‍♀️

If his whole menu got to the banquet everyone would be stopping off at the chippy on the way home, every dish was tiny, I was laughing at the size of the bowls!

Larkin wasn't amazing either, but at least people would have been fed!

Evening. I'm quite peckish, so I hope there are some good dishes.

I’m over halfway down a big bar of Dairy Milk…

We had chicken dahnsack. Was pretty good

Wasn’t Dan’s Sack a thing on one of the Masterchefs? Or am I imagining things?

Andy's apron looks like he's one of those cooking over flames guys.

A plant based chef, he wil be under pressure in round one.

And Morrisons clay oven Nan bread as was on offer. Best Nan bread ever from a supermarket
