Great British Menu 2024 - Finals week

[Sunbird24]

So SouthWest Ben has the Starter, who will win Fish, Mains and Dessert…? Will there be fighting over the freezer? How many more flames and medals will the judges have to pretend to be surprised by?

You got him running for the train and then tripping over the step 😁

I can't see the French having spiralizers. Surely they cook everything in cast iron pans handed down from their great-great grandmother?

I’d be a bit ticked off if I only got one tiny little canapé on a train journey between London and Paris!

Lol. It had to be him! 🤣

It would have been a good spectator sport if Raymond Blanc had stood over him and supervised!

Bet Michael's got a few bags of Minstrels and Maltesers on him.

Ooh, it's the handsome and charming taekwondo guy again. Make him do Strictly.

Ooh, Kirk is helping with the veggie options.

Oh shut up Corrin. You made a weird kind of chocolate.

I don't want to diss Raymond but I made one of his soups the other week and it was like something they would serve up in Colditz.

Re: R Blanc, I just think he would have ruled the kitchen with a rod of iron! Corrin would not have got away with any fake bon homie with him! Lol

'This residence has seen so many events.' = It's been burned down twice and people got guillotined.

Are there any French people there? I want to see French people being disparaging or rioting. 'I would not serve this to a camel.' I demand Frenchness.

And a luncheon, rather than a dinner. I know they've done daytime before, but you can't help feel there would be a better atmosphere at night. With booze! Lol. Although I doubt any of the athletes are allowed.

What do they do with all the props afterwards? Is the ambassador going to do a car boot?

😆😆😆

and yes Lutalo for strictly

loving Andi’s “here are my bosoms” dress 😁

Yes, all of those effing flame-themed dishes we had to sit through and it's not even bleeding dark.

I don't want people to breakdance at a banquet, I want them to gavotte.

I refuse to accept break dancing is a sport

<folds arms>

Colin looked bemused

It's good to see they're all pulling together in the kitchen- even Corrin! Maybe someone had a word...

It doesn't look that much fun. Pleasant, but not fun. Everyone's eating very dutifully.

I never understand how so few chefs can cook so precisely and perfectly for so many people.

Now this looks amazing! And needs everyone!

Bloody hell, they are having to cater for pescatarians as well. That's a step too far.

Wow, high praise from Michael.
