Master Chef Professionals. Part II.We all live for Thursdays. A main of Marcus with a side of Jay.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

And not a Gregg's sausage roll to be seen.

It's not cooking is it?
It's all prepared, they just place it on the plate.

Evening. I've just gone "no" dH says he'll have my share. I like both of these guys. Why didn't they put one against Luciana?

Danny's dish is shades of beige. Maybe it is actual textures of beige. I don't fancy either of these dishes, tbh. I'm disappointed because the other stuff they showed from this chef looked lovely.

So Danny isn't allowed to cook the fish?

This chef clearly does not trust the contestants one bit.

He doesn't trust them to cook the fish. Agree fancy plating up.

what in gods name was the pink stuff...???

I saw it last night in the teaser and have been feeling queasy ever since. And he was just tasting it as i came into the room tonight

pink slime!

Looks like Danny's allowed to make the mushrooms on fancy toast thingy. And the other one is allowed to mix up crab with stuff.

So, mushrooms and sausage on toast with fish and a weird dumpling?
Oh he gets to prep the girolles.

Looks disgusting.

This chef is obviously a meanie, as he's got them both shaking and he's barely letting them cook.

It's crab dog poo-alike (I'd still eat it though).

The jelly with bits of samphire etc sticking out of it looks like a child attempting to make a garden in their jelly.

Well I won't be going there this weekend.

The coils of poo like crab is making me a bit....

Danny's gnocchi didn't look all that different tbh.

How much do you reckon their lunch menu costs?

Saying 'it should be natural' doesn't really help much, does it?

Is that micro samphire?
I'd eat mushrooms on polenta toast. But dislike that sausage. And not with fish.

Just looked up the menu -
lunch £49.50 - cheaper than I would have thought:
www.hibiscusrestaurant.co.uk/menus

3 courses, half bottle of wine and coffee £49.50 not at all bad for a 2*

At least danny got to cook something. Not the fish, but at least he was allowed to cook some mushrooms and gnocchi.

The crab guy was only allowed to assemble. Getting to do one quenelle at the end too.

cross post Ursa shall we get a charabanc?

Two course, half a bottle of wine and coffee for £50 is surprisingly cheap.

Oh and make crab poo swirls Calam.

Squab! The fig of the poultry world.

How could the pigeon be less cooked than the bloody nightmare in the sample dish.

Claude doesn't do smears it seems. You get lumps of stuff, not smears on his plates.
