Great British Menu 2025 Thread 2 - From beige sludge to poncey nonsense, but is any of it banquetworthy?

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Lemon surprise sorbet…

I feel faint. For years I have waited for the chefs on a cookery programme to be told their desserts are too small and now it has happened twice on the same show.

Well. Her pudding was just not so good

I liked her but that dessert was really unforgivable.

I reckon there should be a side competition for vegan / veggie based chefs, who would then do the alternative menu at the banquet.

Andi’s going 80s power suit vibes tomorrow!

Yeah I'm a big fan and I'm not averse to a vegetable based dessert (artichoke tiramisu anyone) but even I wouldn't have eaten that

I think that would be an excellent idea

With a few tweaks her dessert could be a nice starter

dont mind a plastic coconut full of ice cream

butbto showcase there are great Indian desserts and sweets (actually too sweet for me, I love soan papdi and I’m sure it could be used artfully for a banquet

Evening!

Evening folks. Be interesting to see what the judges think this week. The last 2 weeks the chef has said change things and the judges have not liked the changes and would have liked it the way it was originally

Evening all. I reckons Ahmed is going to pull a blinder

It will have to be a blinder because (bar the mushroom dessert) calum has had some amazing food. And Ahmed made some big booboos during the week

Andi looks fabulous and is wearing mammypotters colour

Evening. Wow that east Enders. Never watch but just had to. Shallow me

The thing about getting through despite big booboos is it’s easier to make big improvements…

Evening. It's so cold.
Not fussed who goes through tonight as can't see them getting any dishes to the banquet

Lorna looks fab in that colour too

Love that a professional chef is learning from YouTube videos!

Evening!

Does Andi ever re-wear her outfits? Her budget must be astronomical if not! Even if they're rented!

Oh, and as for the food, the preview last night made it look like they'd both pulled out all the stops, so who knows..... But that mushroom dessert can still get in the bin!

I said that yesterday alright. Deffo where the puds are concerned

Love a palmier

Feel Andi may have talked this pair up just a little too much

Oooo, I love Horrible Histories! 😀. Stupid Deaths.
