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

Wow Roussette! How exciting.

We will need the lowdown on everything

Will tell all ! (after it's gone out!)

Oh that's brilliant Roussette, best of luck to your daughter, can't wait to see it now , enjoy the day!!

Roussette oh my goodness! Can't wait to hear more!

She is a quirky girl so her bonkers idea might fail spectacularly, but saving grace is... they like disasters on that show too! She is huge GBBO fan so she will love all this.

Everything is recorded a week in advance which is why we're doing this now, if you see someone studiously trying to avoid the camera that'll be me

Not read all your comments (but I will - am place marking because a wonderful MNer (I will not mention her name, because she likes to do good by stealth, but it starts with four and ends with quennelles has given me a heads up it is on, so I will be sitting with fingers poised over my keyboard. Surely some Famous Incompetent will succeed in poisoning Gregggggg? (fingers crossed!)

Thank you, Mystery Informant

ps - Keith Allen is a twat! (That's the only slab name I picked up on in my rapid overview)

Argh @SchadenfreudePersonified, I included you in the thread klaxon yesterday but completely forgot about your ‘Personified’ bit! Sorry!

Can't work out if Carol Decker has has had work done or if it's just a case that last time I saw her it was 1986!

You're here! I've been on previous with a NC. Squoosh needs to pop the manacles back on Marcus and get herself here!

I always thought Keith Allen was a total twat in the 90s but he seemed OK here, to be fair. Unlike Mrs Fucking Overall who gave me massive rage - and how come she just had to cook one little piece of fish and still fucked it up and Keef Allen had fish and sauce and mussels and veg

I like the rugby player too. They always do well on this. And he is even taller than my DH

Still cannot bear the complete knobbishness of Greg and want to put his fucking smug sexist leery gormless face in a blender

Tall Men Love Club...that kind of sounds a bit...wrong

That's all right Halsall. I forgive you

I may be late tonight as I have to take the dogs out now and the youngest is a teenager (hormones just kicking in) and a bit of a toe rag at the moment, so may be longer than I want to be.

Keep it warm for me, people.

Tall Men Love Club...that kind of sounds a bit...wrong

Wrong . . . . . and yet so right . . .

Anyway - out with the dogs.

I have cat and slippers and am ready

Not sure about mum cardi and leather trousers

My shopping delivery had better not come early!

The Decker woman has always had a rep for being "difficult" I understand.

Piccalilli aka the Devil's vomit.

I'm back - ran round the fields and haven't bothered to wash the pack off. Have I missed anything?

Twat and Mrs Overall are a pair, and Treetop Lover and Pretty Boy.. All are struggling with the mysteries of piccalilli - does that some it up?

John Torode just mansplained a scotch egg. But it was to Greg so we will let him off.

Scotch egg. Boak.

Evening all

Piccalilli aka the Devil's vomit.

I have only ever seen it in a jar - never tasted it, but your description sums up how I feel about it.

Evening all. Dh has pronounced this first challenge a pointless pile of wank. Yes dear, it's MC.

Evening all, I have nominated myself as the designated disguster of Greggs waistcoats, we've had beige, think an orangey one and now blue, wonder how many he has, if he has two for every episode I will despise him even more (I know none of this is rational )

Ooh scotch eggs and quiche

Fucks sake. Pancakes. My kids can make those

Oooh! Pancakes.
