If great modern british cooking now has cocks comb, cod cheeks, sweetbreads and other similar delights, you can keep it.
Some of the menu’s offered by the chiefs are hardly a culinary delight and as for eating from a tile.
big improvement though now that jenny bond is out of the kitchen, the judges have retained their sense of humor, think they will need it even more this series.Roast beef and yorkshire pudding with loads of gravy is my fav and ham n eggs n chips at the pub
Oh and roast pork n apple sauce yummmmmCan’t abide these dreadful programmes, ever since catching smarmy Lloyd Grossman salivating over a plate of something small and inedible on ‘Mawwwwwwsterchef’ some years ago. As I remember, that show was always clogged up with retired Pilates teachers or intergalactic publishing executives yearning to show off their uptight middle class existences, complete with fashionably correct holidays, wonderfully gifted children and mock Bohemian lifestyles.
As I’ve said before, there is no difference between cooks and plumbers except that one group get million dollar book deals and pretend to be artists. There is no need for the word ‘chef’ in the dictionary when the perfectly adequate ‘cook’ already exists. And the only difference between Gordon Ramsay and the bloke who puts the frozen balti pies in the microwave at the Banks’s Stadium is that I only want to smack one of them in the face with a frying pan.

i think that the second part of that line tells us we all we know

How about "Ready, Steady, Plumb"?
– Contestants are faced with an unidentified leak (sic) and have to resolve it against the clock, using three random tools supplied by a viewer plus a very basic toolkit, which could be stored at the back of the set in storage space built to resemble the open rear of a small, white van.would this be after the water supply has been turned off or would they have to do that first, which in my case would involve crawling under several kitchen units…..apart from that I think you’re on to a winner here….

I hadn’t seen that for a while. The knife and fork for fingers was inspired!

I think the water supply is on at the outset and is gradually increased as they search for it. The front two rows of the audience would be supplied with splash macs.
Great suggestions. All that remains is who to present it……..
Nick Knowles, I reckon, with Handy Andy as one of the resident experts. A ‘Children In Need’ special featuring John Cleese and Andrew Sachs in character as Basil Fawlty and Manuel respectively would be well worth a gander…
My favourite British menu has to be Chicken Tikka Massala with Rice,Naan Bread and Popadoms washed down with a nice pint of Real Ale.

Talking of Real Ale, it was nice to see Wye Valley Brewery sponsoring most of the card at Hereford the other day.
Their "Dorothy Goodbody’s Wholesome Stout" is outstanding.Be interesting whether the John Smith’s/S&N sponsorship of so many big races will continue when Heineken swallow them up in the near future.

No sign of it slowing down yet – it has been announced this week that they are sponsoring the Ayr Gold Cup meeting – although interestingly only for this year.

Not surprisingly rumours are rife that Carlsberg/Heineken will close the John Smith’s brewery in Tadcaster. That would be a great shame as ‘John’s’ draught bitter is very good, unlike the abominable ‘smooth’ variant guzzled at racecourses which is no doubt seen by Heineken as an ideal candidate for a bland flagship euro-bitter that could be brewed anywhere.
