Masterchef: Thread 5

[Pebbledashery]

In readiness

This series feels like it has been so quick. Next week Chuffs.

Same. And I have similar Curse Abilities. So it doesn't bode well for those lovely three.

'I can't use this. It's garbage.'

Has he been asked to read out some of Gregg's jokes?

Looks like we get an arsehole chef next week. Excellent.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Hope your DD is right as rain soon, Jourdain, and you get to have a good weekend.

See you in Istanbul next week. Xx

I'm so sad Jack's gone. Chariya FTW

Agree about Jack being better at classics. Series also seems to have skewed a bit to being great with spice. I love that but would also like variety maybe for children or have to cook a dish meant to take hours to cook.

Shame about Jack - I was sure he’d be in the final. Such a nice chap too.
I’m rooting for Anurag I think. Or Chariya.

Irn bru is minging now they've halved the sugar. Was an ideal hangover cure.

I think charyia is going to win.

Just watching on catch up . WTAF is bone marrow and bread?? Most of this seems delicious . I was salivating.

Also, I love Anurag. And Chariya. And Terri. And Jack the Giant. Omar....meh. His food sounded nicer described by voiceover lady.

A friend of mine knows where to get the full sugar one on the black market!!

Here is the Malay lunch we cooked - going clockwise from bottom left - Otak-otak, which is deep fried balls of minced prawn, grated coconut, onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric (choomerick for John!) then jungle ferns, stir fried banana flower, and jackfruit in coconut milk. All really tasty, and gluten free. Not sure I can make anything but the prawn balls at home though… 🤭

I haven't kept up with the threads but Team Chariya here, she makes fabulous coffee ☕️

Hello all, I have been inconspicuous by my absence for the last few episodes, ( I was actually behind the big MC door they push open but was too shy to pop out and wave ) . Apparently I have missed a lot of food wankery ( phew) and am I right in thinking that .Vanessa has packed up her well thumbed passport in a red spotted bandana and has left the kitchen? I would have liked to have watched that.

I will be watching next week for a final riot of mispronounced ingredients, buttery slobbery from Greg and teeny tiny things pretending to be food lovingly squirted, blobbed or tweezered onto plates.

Ooh, is finals week where one of them starts cooking then the other one has to come in and carry on from where they've left it? That's one of my favourite challenges.

Sad for Jack. It wasn’t his night really but what a shame.

I love Chariya but I’d be happy for anyone to win.

Sunbird24 If ever you want an official food taster cherub …. 🫡

Just been catching up on all of last week's programmes.
Not sorry to see Vanessa go, especially as she'd ignored - or at least twisted - the brief yet again with her non-garlicky black garlic brownies and adding a couple of molecules of anchovy to the icecream

Please may I be next in line - those dishes look amazing!
Was it a class in Malaysia or closer to home? Sorry - I realise you've probably already explained about that.
I chickened out of a cooking class in Thailand and have always regretted it.

I'm shocked that Gregg had to leave Inside the Factory due to making inappropriate comments to female workers. Shocked I tell you!

Didn't a Mumsnetter say that Gregg visited the factory where she worked at behaved like a total knob? It was not a surprise.

I'm not surprised, I really like the show but even the banter that gets televised is often cringey, he is also patronising.

Because he has such a hot body 🤑

Ooo will Gregg be totally cancelled? Will we get new judges? Prays to the food gods.

At last 👋 Bye GregG, prepare to find an interest in gardening as cooking will, hopefully, be off your list shortly and with any luck you'll be off the telly. We all deserve a break from you. Quite a long one.

so far unfortunately not on goodbye Gregg according to The Independent as it is a more controlled atmosphere.
