Actually me wife and i love the show, with reservations. We love food and we love britain. We are only on episode 37 of season 5, but if what we have seen is representative, it certainly could be better. Most of the british food shows include TODAY'S british, many of east indian, asian, and west indian/african heritage, and almost all of all of them include interational cusine--i would argue that anglo-indian cusine IS british).
How much lamb and mutton can be offered--NEVER curried, by the way? Not to mention rabbit, rabbit, and more rabbit, every now with pigeon or quail. Why never a partridge? Or a pear (tree)? If you like rhubarb and stawberries for your pud, this is the place.
The judging is incredibly inconsistent, bordering on insane, from the chef-judges tp prue and her bookends. Their explanations are consistently ridiculous, but otherwise, always inconsistent.
But selection and preparation are pretty well covered and we really enjoy the chefs' evaluations of each others' dishes.
Wimpering slobbering over elderly twit prince charles--to serve him is apparently a big attraction for the chefs--begins each episode and is constantly brought up as if it had some holy meaning. A hoot to us.
Hey! There's a quarantine on and not much new. If you like food and love the british, it aint bad, innit?
