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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Every chef this week has made the kind of Spencer-level effort I deem appropriate. Maybe not as perfect as him in the execution but the intention has been brilliant.

They have all been great

Poor Tom. Would probably have made finals' week in any other region.

Yup,

Can someone tell me, how many weeks are left?

Three. Northern Ireland, the South East and the Finals' Week.

Ooo, sad I missed this - have been out for pizza with a friend. It was very nice, but probably not as good as the GBM folks..... I have it on series link, so might watch it tomorrow before the judging chamber.

Sorry, I was out tonight as well - I had a rack of ribs, sweet potato fries, corn on the cob and coleslaw! (And a glass of wine, yay) only bits I finished were the wine and the corn cob though…
Will try and do a catch up on iPlayer

I fell asleep so on catch up. Horrid that any of the 4 went this week after last few weeks. It’s much more fun to watch when they cook well.

Oh thank god. I was having a panic because I won't be around the week after next and was terrified I was gonna miss finals week. I shall expect ye to tell me each day what was cooked and by whom!!

Missed last night, was watching Stranger things at theatre (story shit, lighting amazing).
Just caught up.

I know two had issues with the desserts but damn they were all so clever and inventive and banquet worthy if brushed up.

The best week by far and I'd happily watch a whole series of these four battling for the banquet.

Caught up with it all - what a brilliant week. It’s a shame that these 2 cant just go through & displace one of the others from the rubbish weeks

I've caught up too, now. Just in time! I'm hopeful (for once) that the judges tonight will think they're great, too. At least Andi won't have to warn them that it's all a bit rubbish.....

Agreed - ditch the lowest scoring winner from the previous regions and let us have both of these!

Ooooo! Maribou Andi! Wowsers.

I already created the new thread, will post a link shortly

Evening! Hopping they both go through or at least give the wildcards to the runner up

Evening

You were all gone so had to post a picture of my cat to pretend he was watching. He was glaring

Evening all. So tired I'm struggling to keep me eyes open

Apologies littlbrowncat!

I'm a bit ahead of TV timings so waited a while to say I've seen Beardy Man's main in Alien vs Predator before it was slaughtered.

And Andi looks fab in that shade of green.

He’s gone out to kill a rodent so getting his tea

He was so judgy-looking I'm half expecting him to be the guest tonight!
