Great British Waste Menu (2010)
An one-off, 90 minute documentary-style programme which aired in December 2010, Great British Waste Menu was made to highlight food wastage in Britain. In addition to showing several examples of such wastage, the programme challenged four chefs (GBM regulars Richard Corrigan and Angela Hartnett, plus Matt Tebbutt and Simon Rimmer) to create a three-course menu plus canapes from food destined to be discarded by producers, supermarkets, restaurants and regular households. Regulars series judges Matthew Fort, Oliver Peyton and Prue Leith judged the results. The final menu, served as a banquet for 60 people, comprised:
Samosa canapes (Simon Rimmer)
British Beef with a Beef Consomme and Summer Vegetables (Matt Tebutt)
Fresh Kent Fish Wrapped in Courgette with a Pork Ratatouille (Richard Corrigan) - judged best overall dish (the 'Dustbin Award').
Ginger Floating Island with British Summer Fruits (Angela Hartnett)

“Gaze not on swans, in whose soft breast,
A full-hatched beauty seems to nest
Nor snow, which falling from the sky
Hovers in its virginity.”

Has the Church failed mankind, or has mankind failed the
Church?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Roast Beef, Medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life’s Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrées, the hors d’oeuvres, and the things à la though you know that Roast Beef, Medium, is safe and sane, and sure.”
—Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
