Triggered by Masterchef

[pineapplecrushed]

to hate the way the chefs on Masterchef always say 'plate of food' instead of just 'food' or 'dish'?
I HATE IT.

Yeh this gets on my tits, too. They said it a few times in last night’s episode.

I seem to be noticing even more 'filler' waffle in Masterchef lately. I think having got rid of GreG Nonces innuendo and drooling they don't really know what to do.

Current phrases really getting on my tits like never before:

• Point of difference - but if there is one, it will be complained about as it doesn't go with whatever it is the chef made.
• 'It's kind of like'... and then goes on to describe something it is either NOTHING like or actually IS that exact thing.

I hate the "yummy" emoji - the little yellow fucker, beaming, with its tongue sticking out of the corner of its mouth.

It reminds me of an ex-friend who only ate about four meals (sausage and mash, very plain Shepherd's Pie, chicken and chips and chicken Chow Mein) which she supplemented with custard creams.
Make one of those dishes and you'd be "rewarded" by her running her tongue wetly round her mouth and making a massive "SHLUUUURRRP!" noise.
If anybody stupidly offered an alternative she'd snap "No - don't like it!" or just make a "Bleurgh" noise. She wouldn't tell them what she did like; they were supposed to realise any other food was unacceptable.

😂😂😂😂😂

It's 'alleged' if the case hasn't gone to court yet. Legally, the media has to say that if it's still at the allegation stage.

It reminds of what train drivers say: “The next station stop is London Bridge”. Do they think passengers will misunderstand if they say “the next station is ….” It has always baffled me.

I get enraged every time someone says ‘in any way, shape, fashion or form’ as in ‘I did not steal that thing in any way, shape, fashion or form’. Just SHUT UP!

On a sports theme, “in the mix” gets me going. I absolutely hate it. They said it a lot at the diving events at the Olympics (maybe I got triggered as it was that knobhead Tom Daley saying it, but it does my head in still).

Does anyone know why Jamie Oliver feels the need to salt 'from a height'
Is it a clever technique to garner a saltier flavour perhaps?

Ugh pantie almost makes me lose my dinner! It's such a twee, sickening word!

That is women’s language. We will still need feminism until no woman ever says things like that again…

I fucking hate it.

I know several chefs and they do this because they say it spreads it more evenly and makes it less likely to clump in one area.

Or they can employ a skilled technique, takes years of learning, move your hand around when distributing the salt.

Many years ago I listened, confused, to someone talking about 'a trans-seasonal trouser'.

Haha - I find when people say they pairing something with "a red lip" makes me laugh - I always wonder what colour they going for the other lip.

But everyone hates the wasps - so if I marketed something as beneficial for bees and wasps no one would buy it! Pollinators catches all without explicitly naming the unpopular ones.

You mean MC

I wouldnt engage with that. Im legwear critical.

Master Shef.

Or Master Shelf, where I keep all the heavy goods.

‘plate of food’ is nothing compared to ‘running through’ — actually drives me mad if I watch it!

Nope. Just looks vaguely more interesting on telly.

I’m not in the UK and haven’t watched it but in what context do they use running through? The only thing I can think of is if a flavour is running through something. Like if you add alcohol to something creamy.

Yes that’s it! Literally everything runs through dishes on Masterchef… you can play a drinking game with it if you want, that’s how much they say it 😂

Sounds like there would be a lot of alcohol running through my body if I did😀
