Masterchef the Professionals, #5: Onwards to the Grand Final. Tissues at the ready.

[GrouchyKiwi]

How many times will Santosh make us cry?

Can I just say my lovelies, I am really excited for the final tonight! :)

Can I just say my lovelies, I am really excited for the final tonight! :)

Me too....I am planning my food for the final...

Fish finger butty ice cream....yummmm

I hope you're serving that with a duck heart chocolate sauce and chicken liver mousse.

Ahh I didn't know there was a MCP thread! Mr Noodle and I are overly invested in this week's final.

If Alex wins I will cry and not from joy, he is absolutely loathsome. Every elimination I've so hoped for either him or Jono to piss off, only got one of my wishes.

Hope Netherlands born Bart serves up nice endive stamppot and a pea soup for his final dishes, get some of that nice Dutch cuisine in there.

Santosh to win, clearly.

And some kroketten or bitterballen, PolPot.

@GrouchyKiwi just a single slice of white bread with chocolate sprinkles on for dessert.

I am due to pick up a few meal kits from my local Nepalese late this afternoon. Guess who we want to win!

The food of the gods, PolPot.

Well I made quite a discovery today.

You take some Italian bread and put on a thin layer of mayo, some thick slices of mature cheddar, and top with a spicy pickle mix... And then drop the bloody thing into the sink and into a bowl of (thankfully) clean water... it really doesn’t improve the texture or taste.

Yes I did, and I did (come, on it was my last slice of bread!) 🤢

@InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud the haute cuisine of this evening is fish fingers, beans and waffles :) - damn get me a masterchef trophy now!

Ooh madcats sounds yum.

Hi gang. Loved the commentary, just catching up. Had a rubbish week - my very beloved soul cat died unexpectedly and very young so have been bereft and beside myself. So you can quite imagine I didnt need any encouragement to blub all through Santosh's journey on catch up. Anyhoo, really excited about the final - such different styles of cooking and no villains apartfromGregggggg and see you all here soon

Oh ClickyPen - I'm so sorry!

It's dreadful to lose an animal companion.

and {{{hugs}}}

thank you schaden much appreciated x I guess if I made it to the 'personally meaningful' dish section of MC I'd dedicate a signature vole veloute with rabbit foam and salt and vinegar crisps to her honour. She was quite the game gourmand which alas proved to be her downfall. 😢

Oh no. What took her?

So sorry, Clicky

Oh sorry clicky. To lose your wee cat. Sad for you

Hi all, I know I'm late to the party, and I did want to say hello last time but everything was moving so quickly, and to top it all DH wanted to watch something else last night which clashed with MC. Anyway hope you don't mind me joining in, you seem a great bunch anyway! Sorry about your cat, it's awful when you lose a pet

Ah, so sorry to hear about your lovely cat clicky 💔

So sorry clicky.

I have caught up. I so want Santosh to win. I alternated between smiling and sniffling last night. He is so genuine and lovely.

Evening all

Sorry to hear about your little cat clicky Unmumsnetty hug for you

Heloooo

Good evening, my lovelies.

I have decided I agree with PolPot and I couldn't be doing with an Alex win. He irritates me.

Hello pretties xxx

We are off. 💪💪
