hi,

anyone here watches the great british menu?

i just spotted Nikita in the intro, I wonder how she’ll do.

RomainingCalm · 04/03/2026 21:09

Lana’s in luck.. plenty of cheese in this task!

Evening all. first trip up to the pass for me this week, yes, I have a life.

I don't.
My presence makes this a zombie thread, obviously.

Me neither. In fact we went out for lunch for dh"s birthday, couldn't find anywhere we liked so came home and had dippy eggs. Rock and roll.

Lana should have been here last week with the peach Alaska. I think she is going to struggle, she doesn’t look like a pasta girl to me.

Apart from the cace e pepe she's ok? That would be the easiest part!!

I found a YouTube of droning Matthew on some food podcast thing and it was very interesting - he was significantly more estuary in speech, quite sweary, and distinctly uncomplimentary about MC….

Hmm, might have a watch if he dishes the dirt.

You’d think so!

@Brooklyn70 there’s a GBM thread if you can find it, several of us are on both, come and join!

I thought I saw her. I found her a bit annoying so hopefully not too well.

bungobungobungo · 04/03/2026 21:13

Not a lot of cheese!

I found her beyond annoying

TheDogsMother · 04/03/2026 21:13

Evening Chuffs. Risky Lana !

Halsall · 04/03/2026 21:13

I feel a bit protective of Lana.

OP posts:
PotterHead1985 · 04/03/2026 21:14

She done well

RomainingCalm · 04/03/2026 21:14

She did well. I can only assume we have a pasta disaster incoming…

Sunbird24 · 04/03/2026 21:15

Anthony’s going to have a nonna…

littlbrowndog · 04/03/2026 21:15

He looks like he might have a Nonna

EsmaCannonball · 04/03/2026 21:15

Yes, she seems like a normal person. Even her backpacking was around Italy, not Shangri-La and Atlantis. No mention of doing six months at a foraging restaurant in Denmark that makes you pay to work there, either.

TheDogsMother · 04/03/2026 21:16

Nonna incoming 🍷

OK, kudos to Lana, the girl done good.

Whole peas, we have a rebel. And confident too, mentioning his Italian heritage on a pasta test.

EsmaCannonball · 04/03/2026 21:17

Ok, it took us to the final heat but at last we have this year's cut-throat Italian assassin from a Jacobean tragedy.

Sunbird24 · 04/03/2026 21:17

My phone autocorrects nonna to ninja every time, even after this many years of MasterChef in all its variants…

Bloody hell made me laugh

It’s on YouTube on a channel called gotofood if you fancy finding it.

Blame the whole peas!
