Mary Berry's Beef Wellington criticised by viewers for having a 'soggy bottom'
'I’m horrified', wrote one Twitter user
On the Great British Bake Off, Mary Berry would often give scathing reviews of the contestants' work, on numerous occasions pointing out a pastry’s ‘soggy’.
But even with all her years of experience in the kitchen, the 80-year-old couldn’t get her Beef Wellington crisp all over, as spotted by many of her adoring viewers.
The first episode of Mary Berry’s Foolproof Cooking was going without a hitch on BBC Two until just five minutes before the end when she cut into her Wellington.
Instead of being the crispy, perfect dish viewers have come to expect from the TV personality, we were (according to Twitter) met with an ‘undercooked’ meat with a ‘soggy bottom’.
“Mary Berry has just made a Beef Wellington and the pastry is raw! I’m horrified,” wrote one social media user, finishing off the Tweet with “#soggybottom”.
Berry recently made headlines after it was announced she, along with Paul Hollywood, would receive £100,000 pay rises for the next season of Great British Bake Off.
