Great British Menu - 18x17 - London and South East: Mains and Puddings- Followmy.tv

The three remaining chefs from London and the South East are halfway through their heat and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating British animation and illustration inspired by Paddington's 65th Birthday.For mains, two chefs are taking inspiration from Quentin Blake's illustrations of Fantastic Mr Fox and the animated Wes Anderson film version – there's an oven-roasted squab pigeon with pancetta, pumpkin and marsala sauce to celebrate the squab, and the other dish pays homage to the three farmers – Boggis, Bunce and Bean – with a chicken ballotine, choux buns filled with duck liver parfait and cider gel and an apple cider jus.There's also a Peruvian-inspired main celebrating Paddington featuring a spiced sirloin of beef, an enticing short rib beef and marmalade sandwich and an aji verde sauce. With some of the chefs having to re-do elements to make sure they are perfect for their veteran, this promises to be a nail-biting course. It'll be up to veteran judge Tommy Banks to decide which is most on point and deserving of the highest score.
