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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Back to tonight.... Add more to the plate!

At least they have listened to Spencer

So basically Spencer has re-written their menus, with detailed instructions on how to cook them. And we all know he could still do it better!

Home bargains have got walkers cheese toastie and bean crisps for 99p they are fairly nice

Ah the communion wafers

Good props

What’s the point of having the story facing away from the diners? Do they even know it’s there?

Good point

Cerys is easy to please

Lorna won the banquet with her chocolate coconut-effect dessert.

I like a woman who travels with spare fans.

Andi could have made a cameo appearance in French and Saunders' send-up of Dangerous Liaisons.

Oh dear. The lamb....

'How's yer, lamb?' sounds like it could be the Welsh version of 'Ey up, me duck!'

I could just about eat it, altho I'd prefer it a smidge more

This dish needs to be accompanied by a recording of Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas.

Ooo, maybe those extra 7 mins were the charm! I like my lamb very rare... When it's fresh Welsh meat. If it's been frozen for months, I have it a bit more done. My mum did it until it was grey. And all veggies were boiled until all vitamins were destroyed.

I'd have to pinch one of those chips out of the bowl! Lol

Good fresh lamb can be less done.

Also was your ma irish?!?! 🤣🤣

Do butchers shops still put things out on fake grass?

If your meat’s singing it’s definitely not cooked enough

those Cows died for nothing Lewis!

How lovely of Lorna to spontaneously ask Cerys about her new book

I don't like sharing dishes. If I were at the banquet I'd feel obliged to be polite and eat fewer chips than I'd like.

We have a wedge of melon with a bit of brown sugar, ginger and sherry, makes an ok starter

Mum was from Brizzol. We used to live in S Wales, funnily enough. My friend's family had a rare breeds sheep farm. They were delicious!
