And so we face the final (final) curtain…MASTERCHEF closing week

[Halsall]

Here we go, Chuffs

Do tell about his taste buds. I’m intrigued

if you've watched enough in the past, he constantly goes on about 'not enough spice/heat' and he's a well known curry/hot food fan.

A lot of his complaints about food are 'not enough heat/spice' and he constantly marks people down for that, while gregg has been there sweating his balls off and coughing.

It's a well known phenomenon that eating food that is seriously hot/spicy can affect how well you taste 'heat' in food, and desensitise you, meaning needing to eat increasingly hotter foods to get the same effect.

His marking people down for 'not hot enough' or inadequate seasoning based on his own preferences and spice tolerance is unfair.

@Kreepture I hadn’t noticed that JT likes spice and heat. I do agree that persistent consumption of “hot” food dulls the taste buds. I often roar at the telly when someone mostly, or even exclusively, cooks spicy food. It’s very noticeable on Come Dine With Me when someone complains that food is bland and then produces their ever present bottle of hot sauce from their pocket or handbag.

Just coming back to say I am back from Canada 10lbs heavier - OMG the maple syrup!!! I have loved reading these threads and I was happy to see that Harry wone. Thank you @Halsall and @PotterHead1985 and others for herding us cheffy cats. Thank you @EsmaCannonball for the amazing humour (if you are not a comedy writer you should be). Send me a reminder when the next Masterchef is due to hit our screens. Until then GREGGGGGGG WAS FUCKED OFF!!!!

Glad you had an amazing holiday @fourquenelles and yes, @EsmaCannonball is surely an otherwise well-known comedy writer going deep, deep undercover on these threads…..!

Till next time, and the new line-up, Chuffs

Just caught up (was away last week) - farewell Jonty Rode. Time for a makeover. Happy Harry won, although not really anti any of them.
