Britain's Best Home Cook Season 2 was our weekend binge. For the final episode, revealing the winner, we decided to eat dinner while watching. This is the first time we’ve eaten a meal in front of the TV since the lockdown started!
We made open-faced sandwiches with pain de mie flavored with pepper (bread recipe from the Poilâne cookbook) along with mayo, hard-boiled egg slices, avocado, dill, and smoked salmon. Our salmon preparation was nowhere near as ambitious as the salmon dishes that the contestants made for their final “rustle-up” challenge — but our food was still quite good. We sipped a glass of white wine, sat back, and enjoyed the competition. In case you haven’t watched yet I won’t say who won, but I was very much in agreement with the judges’ decision.

I wish I liked cooking shows....the salmon sandwiches look GREAT!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great meal (with wine!). I need to track down this show. It sounds totally binge-worthy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to eat a meal while you watched the season finale.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look for this show as I have loved watching the British Baking shows this past year. Your open faced sandwiches look really yummy- and so nice with a nice cool glass of white wine. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI want to see this show. One of these days. And your open faced sandwiches look quite fancy and yummy too. Happy T day Mae. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI feel like having some hard boiled egg, now. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't mind some avocado, salmon and Mayo with it.
I should make this one sometime. Thank you, Mae. :)
I enjoy cooking shows but I haven't found new ones of this one in awhile what channel do they come on?
ReplyDeleteWe also thought the winner was worthy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of cooking shows but I do love eating good things! Happy T Day have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteRight, I need to buy a new slicer, our red one is broken. Since weeks! Which is not that urgent as you can hardly get good avos here...
ReplyDeleteTim Mälzer used to have such competition shows, too, but I prefer to get explained and learn... (as I´m still a beginner).
Your food looked delicious and when I saw the slicer [mine was retired many months ago] its something I will be seeking out when I feel safe going shopping again. I only ever used it for eggs so cutting the avocado is a great tip.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy cookery programs, not always what I would buy or store, but they do make me think out new ideas.
Happy T day wishes.

I love cooking shows, especially competitions.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day! EIleen xx
Mae, that looks delish. I love Mary Berry. So, where did you find this one? I hope it's netflix because that service I have!
ReplyDeleteI eat in front of the TV (or a video on the laptop) frequently but haven't heard of that show. Your food looks delicious! Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteYour meals sounds delicious. Although I typically favor eating at the dining table, I also enjoy 'dinner and show,' every now and then, by eating in front of the telly... especially if there is a good mystery on.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the baking version of this show so I'm pretty sure I would like the cooking version. Meanwhile your meal looks very good.
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that looks so good!
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
Your meal sounds really lovely, and I don't believe eating it in front of the TV is a sin really (OK it shouldn't be a habit). And watching Mary Berry while eating? I couldn't think of better company.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my blog. Yes, I have read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I found it entertaining. Hubby couldn't get on with the format of the letters and messages.
I agree that the marching band is creepy. My home country the Netherlands was also occupied, and having been born just after the war, I grew up with the stories of my parents and their peers. My grandmother hid jews and my auntie survived a concentration camp.My mother and her family suffered physical hunger during the last winter when one half of the country was liberated and the other half wasn't. The Germans couldn't care less and took everything edible away and left the population to starve. My dad was taken by force and transported to Germany to do forced labour on the railways. Because he was an educated man and spoke several languages, he had to work as an interpreter too.I know for a fact that he had guilt problems afterwards. He had never been given the chance to fight for his country.
My mother is 96 and mentally very alert. I phone her every day and sometimes we talk about the war. Interesting.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Oh that sandwich sounds so delicious! All the things I like hard-boiled egg slices, avocado and smoked salmon - yum 😀. Mary Berry is the best, I have a couple of her cookbooks. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYour sandwich sounds delicious, although salmon brings me out in big spots! I still love it though and have it if I don't have plans to see anyone for a few days! I love cooking programmes and the Best Home Cook is one of my favourites! I stopped watching the Great British Bake Off when Mary Berry didn't sign up when it changed channels in the UK! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteYum ~ we loved the british baking show, so we will have to look for this show! blessings on your week :)
ReplyDeleteYour sandwich sounds scrumptious! I love avocado and salmon, but have never tried together! This is first time I have been to your blog, as I have been gone for three months from the tea parties. Lovely post, glad to meet you and thanks for visiting me already. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fancy dinner to eat in front of television. I haven't seen that show, but enjoyed the Great British Baking show. Take care and Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteI'm finally back online. Thanks for joining this week's T party. Next week we will use Inlinkz because you can remove your link and start over again if you make a mistake Be sure to use ONLY your name in the "caption" and not your blog post, please.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorites are avocados and salmon. I had salmon for my meal tonight in fact. Thanks again for sharing T with us this week.
I think your open faced sandwiches look delicious.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
