"It didn't sink in until later."Dubowski said he had experienced a "strange bit of self-doubt" earlier after he was asked what was mixed with vinegar, mustard and oil to make a basic mayonnaise.The possible answers were plain flour, salted butter, egg yolk and double cream.He said he made the decision to ask the audience and 93% had chosen egg yolk, and he thought he "might go and walk away with nothing" at that point.'Absolutely thrilled'Asked how he celebrated the win, he said: "I did sort of go home quietly, to be honest, I didn't get drunk – I had to have a cup of tea."I think it was just sitting in a quiet room and letting it all sink in, and thinking about what happened in the previous 24 hours."He said the first person he told was his sister, who was "absolutely thrilled" for him and he said he would be giving some of his prize money to his niece and nephew.Dubowski had applied to go on the show when Chris Tarrant was host but "didn't get a response", and he had applied again after lockdown but was not successful."Then in October last year, I suddenly saw an advertisement, or something online saying they're recruiting for new competitors again," he said."I thought oh, might as well try again, got nothing to lose, and just from that sort of casual opening, it ended up with the top prize."So I'm just happy I did it really."Other winners include: Judith Keppel (2000), David Edwards (2001), Robert Brydges (2001), Pat Gibson (2004) and Ingram Wilcox (2006).Listen to the best of BBC Radio Manchester on Sounds and follow BBC Manchester on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
