Mammy thought those yellow tomatoes were lemons!

That looks like excellent beef

Not once he's sous-vided it.

Beef cheeks will forever remind me of a terrible chef on Below deck.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/02/2025 20:07

hoping for some more exciting dishes than yesterdays

also instead of a vegan round can we have a not using the bloody sou vide machine round

Show quote history

He's not doing sous vide is he, it's the venison going in there

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/02/2025 20:09

I’d totally have those dumplings / in fact any dumplings really

I don’t get any subtitles for any of the chefs?

Yea nothing sang for me there. And quite a few errors. Minhal got thru by the skin of her teeth

I've realised from watching this, and after many years, I must just not like Gujrati food, as I've eaten all the things Minal cooked and don't really like them. My mum keeps buying Dhokra ( yellow spongy thing) and Patra ( Spinach rolly thing) and I'm just not keen. The other yellow rolly thing I've had too and don't like it! ( not the Dosa)

Not subtitles they keep explaining what she's said - not asking questions just repeating her words

EsmaCannonball · 19/02/2025 20:11

So Percy was driving home from the pub, was he? And he almost went off the road, did he?

Should have invented the breathalyser too.

I've turned mine off because they seem to run ahead of the speaking...not so good on university challenge

My dog says they should stop adding charcoal to things.

Ooh Ahmed has seen sense.

I'm with your dog

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/02/2025 20:14

Hmmmm those are not what I would call dumplings!!

EsmaCannonball · 19/02/2025 20:14

I know some people don't like it but I quite approve of Michael giving them a bit of input.

Wolfcub · 19/02/2025 20:14

Ahmed is having a 'mare

CapabilityBrownsHaHa · 19/02/2025 20:15

Evening!

I'm not super excited about any of them, to be honest. And come on - some of these mistakes are basic.....

EsmaCannonball · 19/02/2025 20:15

Wolfcub · 19/02/2025 20:14

Does that mean he bought his 'venison' in Asda or Lidl?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/02/2025 20:16

Though that does look good

jay55 · 19/02/2025 20:16

I'd like a no toys round instead of vegan round, approve of that idea. No sous vide, or ice cream machine or mini bbq.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/02/2025 20:17

I do love Minal insane levels of confidence 😆

EsmaCannonball · 19/02/2025 20:18

Minal's might taste wonderful (and I approve of crisps with any meal) but it doesn't scream banquet. It's just one bowl of food really.
