Masterchef 2020 scatter beetroot powder and get your fingers OFF

This is new thread

Ah. Not Friday?

Worked in a hospital in Mauritius for a couple of months - looking forward to seeing it again.

Relieved Bev's gone - I'd suddenly realised she looked like Mrs Overall when she was pursing her lips and concentrating; very disconcerting

I love Sandy, but Jays description had me laughing 'chemical toilet at a festival'.

I liked Bev at first but think it's the right decision to go. I hate deconstructed dishes (always seems a lazy attempt at being original) and deconstructing a beef wellington is unforgivable.

What's with the artichoke obsession? All over Great British Menu too.

Third times the charm!!

I can only hope for somewhere like Mauritius.

Dinner: Scallops, Black Pudding, Smoked Bacon and Colcannon with a Marsala Sauce.

Hurray Bev’s gone, about time.

Yum, Potter. When all this is over you can host a MasterCheffians Dinner Party and cook for all of us. I'll bring some wine.

Fair that Bec went - although I thought others should have got through over her anyway.

Please god they get Claire away.

She looks as though she puts 5 spoons of smug, a soupçon of self congratulatory, A dash of gloat and a whole heap of feckyousuckkkkkkers in every dish. 🤬

@grouchy as long as you all happy hanging from the ceiling to eat. My gaff is tiny. Also ye will need to travel to Ireland!!!!!

@PotterHead1985. Colcannon with Marsala sauce.. my grandfather is dancing a jig in his grave

@footle I aim to please

s it just me but has the older lady (don’t know her name ,Bev? ) got a really bad attitude.? I can’t take to her at all

I can't quite put my finger on what it is but I found her very off putting and insincere. And her face barely moved. She also liked to refer to herself as old, it was a cop out.

Seasonality?

And her face barely moved.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that!

I was muttering about Botox to DH (who lives in a higher world of chess and philosophy and is very unsatisfactory when it comes to base gossip).
I did think she'd had it but that - because she couldn't move her face properly - her neck had aged prematurely because her expressions had moved there, as it were.

I still can’t pick a winner and struggling to really ‘like’ any of them this year.

I’m supporting Thomas. I like his roast dinners.

I don’t mind who wins. As long as it isn’t simpering Claire.

Is Thomas the one who did the amazing roast beef with Yorkshire puddings? That looked delicious.

I think so - it certainly sounds like a "Thomas" dish.
Can't see Claire winning. I think it may hinge on whether Sandy has a good day or not.

Yes Thomas did the roast dinner. I agree with the poster that doesn't want Claire to win, definitely not. I'm hoping she's out next.

I didn't like Beverley so glad she went but honestly? BLUE BROTH?! It should have been Sandy.

That would be me @Sertchgi123

There is something about her that I deeply dislike. I get the feeling she’d sell her own granny down the Clyde and gnaw through the blast freezer cable with her teeth if it meant scuppering her opponents.

Dunno wassup but it won't post from my new phone. Anyway.
Tonight's dinner: Spicy Mustard Crusted Lamb Chop with Griddled Asparagus, Creamed Potatoes, Minted Pea Purée and Sauce Vierge. Some bits I wasn't happy with I'll be honest.

Thomas will win all day long and Claire will be in the final 3

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that!

I couldn't even begin to work out what it was.

One thing I am pretty sure of though is that she was using MC to try and launch a career in the media or the likes. Very often she didn't even answer a question she'd been asked, instead she gave what she thought was a witty/cool kind of reply that had me cringing for her.

And she always bridled when critiqued.
