Couldn’t see a thread so started one, as I spotted it on my TV schedule for 8pm tonight!

Elegantly in your face is a new one

Bet someone does a Daley Thompson's Decathlon dish that involves something like beetroot ten ways.

EsmaCannonball · 23/01/2024 20:17

They're not making the effort. They should be saying things like, 'I am dehydrating this cauliflower, inspired by that poor marathon running bloke who famously collapsed just before the finishing line.'

Is there anyone who's been excited about tofu?

Was the egg & spoon race part of the original Olympics the ancient Greeks used to have?

I could not eat off that giant spoon

Scott looks like what George Dawes from Shooting Stars would look like with a beard.

I got Scott and the egg guy mixed up. Scott looks nothing like George Dawes.

Theinnocenteyeballsinthesky · 23/01/2024 20:22

No it would be straight down my front!

Well, it would have been the naked egg and spoon race. Sausage, egg and spoon race?

EsmaCannonball · 23/01/2024 20:26

Scott's dish is the equivalent of one of those Bake-Off cakes where it is all about the fondant decoration.

Sausage and 2 eggs. Don’t want to know where the spoon went…

Not sure why everything has to be vegan - is there a reason or just because everything seems to be these days?

jay55 · 23/01/2024 20:27

I'll go with not a cohesive dish for that one.

EsmaCannonball · 23/01/2024 20:31

Let's just be grateful that wasn't Gregg Wallace saying 'mouthfeel.'

Does the background sound annoy anyone? Now I've noticed it I can't ignore it.

The stupid tinkle everytime the judge finishes a sentence.

Why!

jay55 · 23/01/2024 20:33

I hope the lady chef increases her confidence, she needs to big herself up like the men do in the room.

Sunbird24 · 23/01/2024 20:34

Ugh, someone’s got a big bowl of mushrooms…

It does now @sockmuncher, thanks! 😂

Why!

Maybe the guest chef judges miss it when they leave? Have to take their own glockenspiel around with them for whenever they feel they want to say something important? 'I'm not auto-renewing the car insurance this year. I've decided to switch to ..... (tinkle) ..... Aviva.'

Surely relying on someone else’s offcuts is cheating risky?

Ooh, someone should do what Michael Phelps used to eat for breakfast. God, I was jealous of that man's calorie intake.

jay55 · 23/01/2024 20:42

Oooooo yes that would be a banquet, they could serve it on flippers to mimic phelps giant feet

EsmaCannonball · 23/01/2024 20:44

I do like a pie. Always seems very banquety.

jay55 · 23/01/2024 20:45

I like pie but a fish pasty feels a bit weird
