Professional MasterChef 24 Thread 3 - In which turds and cat sick have apparently been eschewed for no-good tarts and terrible puff-puffs…

Hopefully Tuesday’s round do better!

🤣🤢

Grandma-drink!

Yes I wondered where he was going with that.

Biiiig sigh from Marcus there

@EsmaCannonball soft but firm and a little pink <boak>

How on earth could you possibly do this in 20 minutes with no foreknowledge or preparation?

My great nan was head cook at M&S, did she teach me how to cook, did she buggery. Mainly because she was dead.

I know him!

This isn't going well

There's something a bit Thomasina Miers about the way she looks and speaks. Not the way she cooks though, sadly.

You can't. A bit like Bake Off I think it's designed to put them under time pressure so that they make mistakes. Which is a shame.

Where's the puree?

Burnt leeks and unrested lamb

It’s the gap in the front teeth.

Nobody wants sinew

It would be more fair if they told them what they wanted and then gave them 5 minutes planning time.

Skills test counts for nowt though when it comes to decision making

There’s posh!

I can't believe it was 19 years ago that she won Masterchef. How can that be nearly 20 years ago?

Exactly. If they really have zero idea what they’re being asked to do, 20 minutes is no time at all, and it must zip past in a kind of nightmarish blur.

So true - it should form 30% of the "marks" I think

You mean the UK's cultural export to Indonesia is ..... Gregg Wallace? Oh, the shame.

He’s cutting it in a very Asian style, ready for stir fry.

It’s a bit like on civilian Masterchef when they send them into a kitchen and they arse it up - makes no difference as far as I can see
