Anyone else watching Masterchef? Ive never heard of half the ingredients, let alone any idea of how to cook them or put them together!

I'd have done a prawn cocktail starter (served in a small metal dish!), my spag bol and a bread and butter pudding with custard. Not sure I'd have won though!

    My wife was watching it. Did my head in all that inane bloke talk from the two muppets. Spent my time tarting up an audax route sheet for the weekend, bah humbug! :D

    Sharina, whilst undoubtedly a talented chef, would be absolutely f*cked if there was suddenly a shortage of mango, coconut or lime.

    I'd be happy to eat in your restaraunt. :D

    Mind you I'd need a good bike ride after.

    It'a all pretentious bollards. And this coming from somebody who works in a Michelin star environment... But try telling that to the French, who eat foie gras for breakfast. Us Brits just aren't as 'cultured' as our continental friends...

    The grub looks pretty, but I reckon I'd need to pop into MaccyD first, to get something to part fill me. The "main course" is always about my idea of the size a starter should be!

    Come on fella, ridiculing quality food is one thing but to condone the consuming of MuckDonalds in the same sentence :shock:

    And I'm no food snob, god forbid.

    Isn't J'aime that annoying blokey bloke who calls everything "pukka" and who uses lots of "bad boys" in his cooking???

    Last weeks (11.03.12) Sunday Telegraph Seven magazine has a section called 'Guestlist' featuring 'Classic Desserts, by Greg Wallace'.

    Number three on the list -
    Bird's Butterscotch Angel Delight
    I'm absolutely serious. Everyone forgets about this simple, nostalgic dessert but for me it's evidence that there is a God. It's best served absolutely as it comes - no sprinkles, no nothing. I love it so much I'm putting it on the menu of my new restaurant, just as it is. I urge everyone: give it another go.

    Is this what you'd expect from a Masterchef judge?

    I do love Angel Delight, but not the Butterscotch flavour, any of the others do it for me.

    One of the most enjoyable threads for some time, starts out talking about masterchef and what they call food and ends up discussing, with no irony, on Angel Delight, a product well known for containing NO food at all :D

    Went with my brother to a Michelin starred place Chapter One in Farnbourgh, Kent.

    Was very nice but when we got outside he asked where the nearest kebab house was.

    Uncultured sod.

    The Mrs and I went to a 2 star Michelin resteraunt at the beginning of March. The food was spectacular, probably the best meal I've ever eaten, but I do have to confess to eating a sausage roll in the car on the way there :lol: :roll:

    Like I said, the product contains no food you have to add food to it to make it food as opposed to the Masterchef comments that they take food and turn it into something inedible, was kinda the point of the irony, but hey I'm still strugglin' with this language thing :D

    Legal caveat...
