Sleb MasterChef 2024 #2 - who are all these people?

[GrouchyKiwi]

Lamb being cooked properly. Fondant potatoes that aren't hard as a rock. What a strange year.

Thread one Sleb MasterChef 2024: raw lamb and burnt caramel, no doubt | Mumsnet

I'd have thrown the cloche back and J&G if I were Vito. I hate goat cheese.

Think Dom got the short straw with the Celery -ack.

Grown men dressing like children wind me up. First nonna mention.

Celeryack is delicious, though.

I'm not sure I'd trust a make-up artist who's given himself eyebrows that look like he's ripped out the hairs and then dabbed Dettol on the raw skin.

It is quite a look to match your brows with your specs.

From the glimpses of the little tasters for this programme last week I thought for a moment that the woman with the bobbed hair was distinguished Shakespearean actor Dame Harriet Walter.

I now see how very, very wrong I was.

🤣🤣

SO DID I! But I couldn't remember her name.

Makes you fart though. Or is that Jerusalem artichoke?

It’s the artichoke

I think artichokes OhWhat, which is why my Dad calls 'em fartichokes.

I’ve actually spent most of this afternoon cooking with my celery-ack. Made a low carb Spanish tortilla, a chop salad for lunch tomorrow, and a skordalia/ remoulade thing.

A Rushdie?

I mean, I know he's artistic but carving a celery-ack into the shape of a Booker Prize-winning and fatwa-ed author is quite ambitious.

Bet Vito starts dancing, they always do

He already has!

😂😂😂😂 Great minds, Grouchy

That's impressive @TerryWogansWig

I have a Jean Christophe Novelli apron.... We met him ten years ago when he judged Wilf and Bumbledog. Wilf and JCN are still in touch and JC has sent him a couple of signed cookbooks. Nice man.

Pusta. Nice

I know that Vito has a pet goat so maybe he's not a stranger to goat's cheese.

Wow elderflower 🥳🥳that is so cool

It's rosti isn't it, bit like a hash brown

Drink ! Drink !

I made hassleback potatoes. Looked great. Tasted bland and crap.
