As a fellow Cornish person I think Charlie wuz robbed! Fish and egg is lovely, I would have scoffed all of that. But steered clear of Tommy's courgettes as I hate them. Also Tommy had not finished his dish properly whereas Charlie had. Must make a point of going to where Charlie works to try the food.
I would have eaten the Aussie dish out of curiosity. Was surprised to hear Marcus say he had never eaten kangaroo - I have, a few times. I really wanted to taste the damper bread. I liked the footage of Kasae trying to cook damper outside in the rain while a crew member held an umbrella over her!
I would have loved eating Tom's dessert. Cherries, almonds, marzipan, yum!
Looking forward to the wankery of The Alchemist. I think Tom is my favourite to win - he just seems to have that little bit extra and he's so modest. But wouldn't really mind if Kasae won.
My two best ever meals were
- At a restaurant in St. Peter Port, Guernsey called L'Escalier. Still think about the amazing soft poached meringue dessert, never had anything like it anywhere else. Sadly it's closed down so can never go back.
- At the Old Stamp House in Ambleside. Amazing food. Will definitely go back one day but apparently you have to book a table months in advance now - we went not long after it opened when it wasn't quite so sought after. Had Herdwick hogget with some sort of blue cheese thing and a chocolate delice with milk sorbet, it was lush!
