Masterchef the Professionals, #4: Me an' Actor heading straight through to the finals.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Who will go through to finals week? Will we have to find new favourites? What will they do instead of the Wanky Restaurant Holiday? All will be revealed.

And see if some angel delight served in a boot would go down well...

Am I the only one who thought the gold and silver leaf on Jono's pudding looked a total mess? I've seen a lot of it recently between this and Great British Menu and to my eye it often looks messy! Neither Marcus nor Monica mentioned though.

It always looks messy and never looks tasty. It's a daft gimmick. And looked particularly bad in this case.

The thing is, he went on sententiously about sticky toffee pudding and how it HAD to be a classic, couldn't mess with it....then proceeded straight to beef fat and caviar and smothered the whole thing in half a ton of tinfoil. I don't care that it was silver and gold-leaf, it looked disgusting and off-putting and if I'd been served that in a restaurant I'd have been appalled.

Yes, it's up there with the bone marrow creme brûlée. If I do have a pud, I want something light and maybe to taste of chocolate or fruit, not last Sunday's roast! 😮

I’m veggie - I love sticky toffee pudding and there’s be a bloody riot if I saw it on a restaurant menu and realised it has bloody meat in it! Oh I’ll just have the ice cr.... just give me a cup of tea and leave out the offal...

There realy is just no need for that 😭

Is it Butterscotch?

I'd eat that.

But the liver's the nicest thing about a cuppa, Username

Not when you are veggie 🤢

Yes I agree the gold and silver leaf stuff looked awful, like a small child's attempt to fake remains from a crash site near Roswell.

I thought it looked like an exploded chocolate bar! I thought I’d misheard about the sauce ‘ingredient X’... just why would you, why?

Asking for a friend, but presumably you can't digest gold/silver?

I am rooting for Santosh (what a shame he is stuck in a tier 2 zone - otherwise I'd be booking a table). We have more of a "sloppy curry" sort of Nepalese in my town (not as much of an emphasis on chillis and dry-roasted spices compared to Indian).

The silver and gold made my teeth fillings zing.... shudder....

I think it gives you sparkly shits...

I’ve heard of gold injections... I do imagine eating it wouldn’t ask your poo sparkly though.

Yes, I think it, erm, passes right through, Madcats . Very festive

Name change d from a small sloop to ship of the line. Had to miss last night due to office zoom shindig but have watched on catchup while pitifully scrolling through your comments as the episode unfurled. That just shows how MC and you folks have combined for my tv watching pleasure, more like mango and rice pudding and less like lard and sticky toffee pudding.

I ate a glittery peep(American marshmallow sweet thing) it was green glitter and my poo was festive for days. It was terrifying.

I remember a mum at the nursery attached to my old office baking a glittery rainbow Birthday cake for the children.

The parents were giving updates on the poo situation - apparently blue sparkles was the prevalent poo.

Good evening gang 😍

That puddin*with meat and sparkles. No need for it.

Evening 🍷

Chefs table is my absolute favourite.

DH has discovered the Mumsnet chat and is wondering whether we were the only ones watching "Inside the Factory" and heard Greg ask "Do I look like an idiot?".

Hello everybody. I'm so looking forward to this. Santosh and Alex in the last final please. Well, Santosh to win please. They are all great but he's so lovely and open!
