Today Wednesday 15 March 2023, there is a new episode of Great British Menu.

Northern Ireland: Mains and Puddings The three cooks are in the middle of their heat, and the stakes are rising. In honor of Paddington Bear’s 65th birthday, British animators and illustrators have once again been tasked with creating their own distinct interpretations of a common theme.

Two chefs are preparing pies as the main course. While one cook makes a venison, chestnut, blackberry, blue cheese, and apple pie using the five ingredients indicated in Shamus Heaney’s animated recitation of Aesop’s tales, the other draws inspiration from the Wombles and fills their pie with “things that the everyday folk leave behind.” In honor of Lifeboat Luke, a children’s cartoon series created in Northern Ireland, the third chef is preparing Dexter fillet of beef with baked potatoes and carrot puree.

A chocolate cherry filled with amaretto mascarpone cream, almond sponge, and almond fuilletine is one treat that honors the BFG. Another is a white chocolate crayon filled with mascarpone cheesecake and blackcurrants to commemorate Oliver Jeffers’ book The Day the Crayons Quit. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is honored with a warm set tea jelly, a marmalade swirl, and a milk parfait.

Only two will move on to cook for the judges and have the opportunity to represent Northern Ireland at the regional finals.
