Sleb Masterchef is BACK

[Halsall]

@ellenanora5 @squoosh @GrouchyKiwi @fourquenelles @schadenfreude OH GOSH DAMN @EVERYBODY whose name I can’t quite dredge up right now from the depths of my addled brain, gather ye hither for all the traditional food-based fun and frolics. Tonite. BBC1. 8pm. Be there

I don’t think much of the head chef
at “not today love”

If you don't like custard this isn't going to be the menu for you, I feel

I have a suspicion that Spenny is a little...shall we say...wired?

I loved John spoonfeeding Anita: "bread and butter pudding without the fruit would be.....?"

"Bread and butter?"

I think you're right, Exile.

Stuff that cooks itself is my cooking style.

Anyone else sing 'tarte tatin tatin' to the backing bit of the tune Chanson D'Amour? Am I the only one old enough?

Indeed Exile, seemed to be a problem in the jungle from what I remember

Just you ikl I think, sorry

If my name was Anita there's no way in hell anyone would be calling me Nitty. The very thought is making my head itchy.

DS (12) has just said 'do you think there's a button they press when they need help and an army of expert chefs come in?'

If you're worried about their timing, Ocker John, why are you interrupting them?

What's that big silver wheel thing behind Jonty?

Why are all these people so inept at peeling vegetables?

Romaine Yes.

Your DS is wise beyond his years, Romaine

I suspect he could be right Romaine

And surely in this day and age they could get pre peeled potatoes, it wouldn't make any difference to the food and save shed loads of time.

Ikl I think you'll find it's 'Sean's on the moo-ooon...'

You can get machines that peel potatoes by the sackful. They're called rumblers I think. MIL used to have one when she ran a chippy.

I just remarked to Dh that surely commercial kitchens like this would have a potato-peeling machine, at the very least

I’m shocked that in a kitchen like that there isn’t a mechanical peeler to be honest. Wouldn’t make good tv thkugh

Oh I like that Ikl! DH is singing that now, but he is older than me Looking at the era I should know it, seeing as my MN name is based on a Rolling Stones album!

@RomaineCalm - maybe Sean's on the moon cooking tarte tatin?

X-post iklboo

She can't even butter bread!!

I already wouldn’t eat that b’b pudding
