Masterchef 2016 Tropaeolums and a Trollope smearing cherries

[fourquenelles]

Here we are. A lovely fresh thread.

Arnaud's accent is making me wet my knickers go weak at the knees.

Lobster! Halibut!

The budget for this show must be massive!

He sounds a bit like Fred from First Dates Flappys. Smooth and sexy (and he can cook too)

That black garlic emulsion looks fascinating!

I LOVE garlic!

DH first pulled me by speaking French.

Not convinced by the first three dishes.

The sous vide machine must be feeling very unloved. Last year every other thing was wrapped in plastic and stuck in a water bath and this year nothing.

Not sure about olive oil cake but the rest sounds great.

Is he French Grouchy?

Wayne has pinched Zoe's splat!

Green splat on the plate - as though Fungus the Bogeyman had blown his nose onto it.

Ah Wayne was nice to Zoe there

Nope, squoosh, he's British but speaks French like a native. Went to a bilingual school in Kent.

Green splat is ridiculous.

Langoustine bus today.

What's the odds of of these go home every night and open a tin of beans?

Oh no! Don't be unkind to Arnaud. He is too continental to be bullied.

Flappy

That aioli looked so incredibly thick.

YES! Matt is getting millions of compliments - and I like the way he presents his food without a smear of this and a shaving of that.

Visually I found it very appetising indeed.

Confit egg yolk. Good old Rich.

Agree Flappys I could eat 2 plates of Matt's dish.

So everyone but Zoe used langoustines?

I like risotto but it's a bit dull for this stage of the game

Wow Zoe's is a real show stopper

Oh dear.

Zoe, what have you done? I think that looks grim!

Marcus is so kind to Zoe 😍😍

Don't go home, Zoe.

Does Zoe have a condom on her plate?
