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

[Sunbird24]

The drama continues…

Ooooo, opportunity for the blast chiller to scupper chances!

Evening, overall I prefer Ahmed food. I’m not sure they would choose a vegetarian main course, which is where Minal scored highly so far.

Callum's pre-dessert just shows they need to do a series inspired by the British art world. The banquetworthiness could be off the scale.

They also need to do a series inspired by British films.

Yorkshire-born DH reckons one of them should make a Bombe Suprise to celebrate Guy Fawkes.
Not sure about his connection to the brief of Great Britons 🤔

That would be great

Minal hun it's dessert. Why are there veggies

Well, we had that William Wallace main course.

"oddly chewy" is never going to be a compliment....

I don’t want a worthy dessert of vegetables, especially as the first course is definitely vegan.

Ah Callum, Mushroom in pud, no ta

No Callum. No mushrooms in dessert, it’s the only course we can reasonably expect to be safe from them!
You can go off people…

Ok vegetables, mushrooms and no sugar. I'm going to the cake shop

Nooooo! What's going on here! Where's the chocolate?? Mushroom, salt, veggies, no refined sugar?!? Travesty.

Very quickly

Ooooh, Emily Brontë.

Heather, yes.

Mushroom ice-cream, no.

Fuck's sake, Heathcliff and Cathy were not a pair of foragers.

I had a Mars bar (or cheap equivalent) for my pudding tonight.

I'll have an éclair please

A warm-ish, sweet, vegetable broth… 😩

A Mars bar is a proper dessert. Nothing wrong with that!

Chocolate pudding here. Not some vegetables

Melt it down with a bit of milk then pour over ice cream 🙌🙌🙌

And now vegetable soup.

I get that the no-sugar dessert connects to the brief but I think the chefs need to remember that the point of the show is to cook utterly delicious, generous, spectacular-looking food. There are no extra points for challenging yourself to miss foodstuffs out or to use unexpected ingredients.

From the descriptions, I’d definitely prefer a mars bar to the things on offer from these three. So now heard all the dishes, not one single one I’d think banquet worthy.

I feel like we are heading for three falls
