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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Where are we off to tonight? I’ll need notice to adopt the brace position if it’s Northern Ireland.

Keep getting a bastard pop-up trying to make me turn off my ad blocker. Shan’t!!

I read eventually you'll have to or won't be able to use the site

Central and Eastern England

Oh, I like the female chef in this heat. She's been unlucky not to make the banquet before.

Oh yes I liked her

evening all

The ads are soo annoying. I miss my adblocker.

I vaguely remember Tom. Think he was pretty good but lost out to Tight Top Tom who made the Desperate Dan Pie.

Evening all!

Ooo, Thom! I remember him. And the first guy getting his practice out there nice and early! I guess the BBC bods guessed that viewers would not be impressed with wing-it guy....

Evening. Nice to see someone banquet worthy back for another go.
Let's hope she shines

I'm feeling optimistic with this lot.

Tell me about the Adblock’s. Gone. It really sucks

Harry and Sally 🤣🤣

Hoping for some proper banquet-worthy dishes with the returners in the mix!

Oh, I like him. 😀. Another "Tom"!

Love tommy

Crumpets obviously a thing this year...

Harry looks like he should be guarding Anne Boleyn in the Tower of London.

More crumpets!

Can imagine him in a doublet and ruff!

This lot are another level compare to last week. Why can't they balance the heats more?

Agreed

I got yellow label hot cross buns from markies. Gawd they were vile. They had blueberry in them

Yes! Or in Ghosts / Horrible Histories! 😀

It's game on! They all look like "good" chefs, and competitive, too.

Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew…

I tried some marmalade ones last week and binned them. Awful.

I think hot cross buns need to go back to nice spiced buns.
