Professional Masterchef 2019: Chefs who can cook things properly are rare.

[GrouchyKiwi]

First thread.

Will anyone manage to cook anything all the way through?

@lunde - i tell myself, as they do on the show often, it's nerves!!!!

I ate recently at Morston Hall, where one of them was from.

Thankfully, it was obviously his night off 😂

3 raw quails, 2 raw donuts and the final contestant, having actually managed to cook something, added about 1lb of sugar.

Masterchef version of the 12 Days of Christmas?

I suspect a few ‘professionals’ have worked their way up in ‘gastro pubs’ making steak and chips in a flat cap, and apple pie, throwing on a bit of popping candy to ‘give it a twist’. So not exactly classically trained chefs and more like competent cooks.

I feel quite sorry for some of them when they get that look of panic ‘ohhhh I’ve never made a sponge cake before...’

That was very entertaining. DD is about to do a food tech and prep GCSE (or whatever it is called) and I am going to make her watch that episode to show her how (relatively) brilliant she is.

The young lady from last week Olivia was awesome

Spot on with the gastro pub gang !

Hello all.

Am about to turn onto the BBC for this evening's delectation.

Have been watching "Billions" as an aperitif. (David Costabile gives me the FGs)

BBC2 people BBC2

I'm ready.

Last night skills test was a train wreck --- wonder what we have in store tonight?! 🙈

Signing in

Ready and waiting

What fresh hell do we have in store tonight?

@fourquenelles snigger

Razor clams @Halsall !!

Made it. But having specs problems so may have to choose between tv and phone screens.

Evening people. I've been reading about this amazing puppy.

My favourite bit is where they show their ages.... I think they are 47 and it says they are 24. I always think fuck me.... Working in a kitchen is the most aging thing!

What value add did Gregggggggggggg have in that intro bit? M and M could do this bit

What fresh hell do we have in store tonight?

The arrival of Monobrow Man apparently

Potter 🤮🤮

Razor clams! This is going to be fun!

@GrouchyKiwi does it wag though!

A lot of them won't have a clue

Not a cat in hells chance of them getting this right

The urge to make a smutty joke involving Gregg and sampling razor clams is strong. But I’m not going to. How much of an adult am I!
