At last the phone-in voting is over – for a while!

Broadcast

Phew! I’m glad that’s all over!

Now we can get back to the Peace and Calm of the SpringWatch Ditch – after the hurly-burly of the “Talent Stage” and that Jenny Bond Kitchen!

Great British Menu – The Great Vote for Britain’s Got Talent

Well.

I’m going to vote for Tom’s  Beef Wellington.  I have no idea what it tastes like,   BUT  –  I thought  his  choice of plate showed imagination  –  the way he chopped his vegetables showed  artistic flare and his final flourish  with the  accompanying asparagus  was outstanding.

I am really looking forward to seeing  him perform on The Royal Variety Performance – The Queen should love it – far better than any of the other  “off the wall acts”  we’ve seen on Britain’s Got Talent this week!

Well done!

PS  What do you mean – Britain’s Got Talent wasn’t on last night!!!

That Banquet at the “Artichoke”

So pleased to see  Jenny “Licensed to Grill”  Bond lived up to her reputation of trying to create a crisis out of a glitch!  Well done!

Glad to see you got tucked in to your food before anyone could take anything away!

No wonder you’ve survived so long – always eat all you can when the opportunity presents itself – to ensure body and soul are kept together!

The Great British menu – The Banquet

Broadcast

So tonight’s the night then!

The Great British Menu Banquet

I suppose we will see you scoffing  all those fancy courses!

I do hope you don’t disgrace yourself in front of the wonderful Lady Helen!

Will we be faced with dear Jenny Bond doing the commentary – gosh I do hope not – she‘ll only try and make trouble.

Well – personally – I trust you put her in her place by adopting the Goldfinger approach:

Jenny Bond  “Well Sir Terry what do you expect?”

Sir Terry:  “I expect you to Fry  – Miss Bond!”

Great British Menu!

Weekend Voting – Eurovision

Broadcast
Oh dear! I think I made a complete hash of the voting last weekend.

I voted for Sweden to cook at The Gherkin –

Chef Tom Kitchin to be the next Nancy –

And Andrew Lloyd Webber as the best Eurovision song.

Sorry! I’ll try and concentrate this weekend and do better

Can we have a few reruns until we all get it right?

At last the Great British Menu has paid homage to Boggy!

That wonderful Slate of Food – was a culinary – ‘post-modern’ pictorial masterpiece – of Boggy’s boat on its collision course with the Eddison Lighthouse.

Boggy‘s boat – with its flamboyant yellow flowered sail was the centre piece of the dish,

The Eddison Lighthouse – depicted by the frosty jar of Berry soup

The Blackcurrant mousse resembled a large rock – which the boat appeared to be veering towards –

And finally The foaming main of wheatgrass – swirling around the slate-grey sea.

Brilliant!! At long last Boggy’s seafaring efforts have inspired one of Britain‘s great chefs!

Apparently it even tasted OK

He should demand royalties!!
