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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

This is like a different dish

I know Henry the eighth was a murderous shit but someone could make an epic pie in his name.

Didn't someone make a desperate Dan pie complete with horns

Train looks good

It is and thank fuck the venison is better cooked

Yes, one of the inspirations was the French man Louis Le Prince, just because he went to Leeds once!

Yes, the massive Desperate Dan one.

And nobody has moulded anything around a balloon this series. Or served a casserole inside an inflated pig's bladder sprayed with glitter.

Oh god yes, the pig bladder!

It was the Scottish woman who made that big pie . I can see her face but rember her name 🤦‍♀️

and I went to her restaurant as she was doing a lunch special

I like the way Calum says smoke

Now Callum's looked very much like the art. Ahmed bodged again.

Yes, Boudicaa, Henry VIII, the Duke of (Beef) Wellington. Bring the drama!

Roberta. I googled her

Jesus yes the bladder

Annnd Ahmeds timings gone again. And where was the turf

Still missed how Ahmed’s related to Rob Burrow, other than the imagery?

"Smirk"
I've been to a rugby league match with DH with everyone cheering for Leeds "Rhinerrs"

Yes, I remember that big, gorgeous pie. And didn't she do a big, gorgeous glazed cake, too?

Yes I think so

the jelly round this 🤢 little bits

There's nothing that compares to the golden apples. Or the dog bone, which won dish of the banquet!

I'd develop a mushroom allergy if I was a judge. Such overkill tonight

There was a desperate Dan pie as well. That was drama

Oh no more mushroom

I wonder if you get steak and lobster for each course if you have fungus allergy......

Yes, there are chefs who didn't even reach the finals who did more memorable dishes than anything we have seen this series.

Hopefully they are saving the best for the last few heats.

We need Kate bush singing
