Out with the old….Masterchef continued

New thread

Blackberry compote that's been had at by the local squirrels, a few slugs and possibly a Golden Retriever.

I’m not sure it’s terribly hygienic to leave food uncovered on the ground in the open air? Health'n'Safety, anyone? 🤔

Hairnets Where are they ?

Ooh yes @EsmaCannonball

And the bloody rest. Boak

I know I've said it before but I bloody looooove gooseberries.

Why a doughnut. Makes no sense

I expect those quite a lot of vegetarian food for normal people as meat was expensive unless you were hunting hare etc.

Evening Chuffs. I come to you from foreign lands.

Yes, a lot of people had a default vegetarian/vegan diet.

And I have said it before but I do not. Mind you, I've no tried them in well over 10 year, and knowing tastebuds change as we age, that could have changed.

With you there - there's a pot of Wilkins Gooseberry Jam we picked up in Tiptree with my name on it in the cupboard...

Hellooooooo Dogs! Where are you?

Is Sophie doing an Elizabeth Barrett Browning take off?

Well, now the diners have turned up I think we've found who took all the hairnets.

Oh look, it’s like a Jane Austen/Reservoir Dogs mash-up

@Halsall Porto, at the beginning of a little Portugal tour. We live in the sticks at home with no Deliveroo, Uber or anything so I’ve just placed a Sushi delivery and am beyond excited 🤣

Why in gods is there a donut going with a goosgog tart

Given that desserts are often the most complicated and intensive things to make, I never understand why they are left to one lone person on these challenges.

Sam is falling apart and Hazel is getting even more efficient.

I mean, any of us could probably be the 5th great-niece of Jane Austen.

Masterchef high standards - guests are also good at acting

Cripes the blue team.

She's been really capable all through the competition. I don't know why they've given her the 'unconfident new mum' storyline.

Do you think she near forgot the sauce?!!!

That's a measly portion of crackling
