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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Apparently not and also not judge blind before the mentor chef met the chefs. Missed opportunity before mentor has met the chefs

Buy desserts they’ll have a really good idea of who cooked what.

Evening! I think I would have passed on all of those and had an extra glass of champagne! 😉. (Purely my tastes, not a slight on their skills!)

Hope you and your mum feel less crap soon.

I'm not sure that some of these chefs' styles will suit Spencer the Perfect!

'If you don't stab an aubergine before you put them on the fire they explode.'

Owain Glyndwr approves of exploding aubergines.

Running in. We had a late tea

love Spencer

I love takoyaki so would love to try a lobster one instead of octopus

It’s awful

The only working class Welsh man ever to be called Sebastian. Official.

Laverbread caviar looks like Bovril bubble tea bubbles.

Lovely Spencer. I'm a bit afraid he's going to show up how low the standard is this year...

At least Wales don’t seem to have a lot of mushrooms!

I take back my initial comment. I'd like all the canapés if it means I don't have to have a vegan starter..... Although I love leek and potato soup!

'I thought I was going to be a war correspondent.'

'Hiya, are you that Hezbollah I've heard of? Oops, I almost trod on that cluster mine then. What am I like? Hey, lads.'

This is drab. Where's the daffodils?

Soup and bread

omg looks stodgy

I would be annoyed to get a miniscule jug of soup and a roll that looks like a dog mess at a banquet

That's the word claggy twice in 5 min!!

Yeah. That's going to get a 4, surely??

Could be looser. Doesn't sound like they're talking about food.

Tiny bit of refinement 🤣🤣🤣

I do empathise with the chefs who hate the vegan round as much as I do.

Raw tattie

Make that 3 times!! Is it the word of the day or summat?

Frogspawn 🤢

Wasn't impressed with any of that. Surely Wales can do better? Ayesha is at least entertaining but too much sludge and ponciness from everyone.

Omg now a cat poo thingie
