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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

‘Weird dampness’
Sounds tasty

I've not seen a single dish yet I would really look forward to eating

"Weird dampness" isn't something you want to hear.
Could have been worse though - could've been Greggg...

Sorry!

Ahmed and Scott brutalised there

Nothing banquetworthy.

Nothing great yet

Yea nothing sang for me there. And quite a few errors. Minhal got thru by the skin of her teeth

Shame it's Scott, he's a cutie.
Hope mains are better tomorrow

Fingers crossed! That ballot box prop looked fun

This season not been great so far

Wouldn’t want any of the dishes even not at a banquet.

I missed last night as I was out eating cheap microwaved food in a pub! (I also posted in the old thread,forgetting we had a shiny new one!)

It looks like it's not worth watching vegan and fish courses before tonight's, then?

WiFi is seriously wonky tonight, might only be on thread in spirit if it doesn’t get better!

Evening all

Evening all. MammyPotter is joining tonight

If I wore what Andi is wearing I'd look like Hyacinth Bucket.

I think they should put all the veggie chefs against each other so it's fair

I also wish they'd stop translating Minal. It's rude

Crisps for mains!

Evening.

I've just had a mega post work nap. Hope the mains wake me up

'Percy Shaw loved crisps' is very random factual knowledge. It might be the kind of thing that Trump would come up with if he was competing on this show and wanted to make crisps.

Sous vide again

I’d look like a busted sofa

So Ahmed doesn't have an inspirational person. Just 'the railways.'

That looks like excellent beef
