Here we go chuffians

If I walked past somewhere called The Game Bird, I might think it was a house of ill-repute.

I couldn't in a million years cut cauliflower like that, mine ends up a mess, mind you I smother it in cheese sauce so it doesn't matter.

Sunbird me too

Ooh there will be blue plasters before the night is out!

Scallops always look slimy - but nice when cooked.

I hate the professional kitchen round, they aren’t trained chefs, it’s a little bit like asking a first aider to stand in as a scrub nurse in an operating theatre though without the possibility of killing anyone or leaving a swab inside a sauce. :)

[I would also be blumming peeved if I was paying restaurant prices for a meal cooked by an amateur , I know the punters aren’t paying but it’s the same difference.]

Come on Tom your Nonna is watching

"Infused with mussels". Might as well just add a teaspoon of sea water.

It also irritates me because there’s an army of people prepping every step normally, so they’d be wasting time prepping.
He’s a bit of an arrogant twat for a lad from Skeggy.

He's butchering that fish

I don't care for this chef much to be honest

At least it’s not grouse or pheasant. 🤮

I hate it too as find it stressful😂. The music doesn't help!

He's a bit of an arse this chef. And actually I hate this round.

I assume the others are taking notes too but Alexina's really on it.

I've never tried scallops and I've always wanted to try them, but I think I'd prefer to try them in a restaurant rather than try them at home

I would never ever ever pay to eat pigeon when I could just go to trafalgar square for free.. Not that I would eat them but if I did 😂

And not a chilli in sight...

Isn't it a pointless round as no one goes home?

This bloke has a snob face

Alexina has such a lovely personality.

I don't like them GrandTheft tried a few times and couldn't get on with them at all

I wouldn't want to work in this twats kitchen

It is!

I suppose the one good thing about it is that they learn the pressure of cooking covers during a service, and that might help them decide whether they really want to work in a kitchen like that.

He was quite cute at college.
The wood pigeon round here would feed a family of four.
