Masterchef the Professionals Thread 2: Mums, Nans and Nonnas

[Halsall]

And so it continues…….thanks for the title suggestion Esma.

I hesitate to share this link as it's an interview from last summer with someone who styles themselves "SexualMasterchef" 🙄

The years have passed and Matthew has moved on. As Esma says, at the end it all boils down to one dish, the competition is intense by that stage and you don't have to have done anything wrong, just the others hit the mark better.

"Being probably the world’s foremost expert on MasterChef: The Professionals, I have watched every episode of the show – and Matthew’s exit caused a scandal the likes of which MasterChef has never seen before or since:
“You were fucking robbed on MasterChef,” I blurted out, my passion getting the better of me.
“It was essentially that last dish”, he replied, “living, working, doing the whole competition, getting to the end. I’d literally not had a bad comment, and then this last dish [Braised Turbot]… Actually, in person, Monica and Gregg quite liked it. It was only Marcus that went for it.”

I’m flagging…

You and me both!!

I’ve just finished a particularly trying day so I’m ready for this

I woke myself up by having a quick shower - let's cook!

Still just about awake. Have had a limited edition tiramisu-flavoured Muller Light. Quite nice but not a patch on the real thing

I had mine at half 6. Rookie mistake

I still like Matthew but he is a bit Tim Henman/Nick Faldo/Nigel Mansell-y, isn't he?

So you hated your skills test so thought 'oh ill make them do the same'!! 🙄

Evening all. first trip up to the pass for me this week, yes, I have a life. Only here for the skills tests, to be honest I could watch skills tests for the whole hour.

Go on-who's gonna put their hands up and claim authorship?

A surprise?
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition mint with peas!

I’m here! Apart from Caroline I wasn’t impressed with yesterday’s group - I’m not sure how long Guiseppe can keep going at that pace.

This is a tricky skills test.

I found a YouTube of droning Matthew on some food podcast thing and it was very interesting - he was significantly more estuary in speech, quite sweary, and distinctly uncomplimentary about MC….

You can buy this sauce in Waitrose. That would be my shortcut of choice.

Evening.

He does drone on and on

Think mine would be to go to a restaurant 😂

Evening all. first trip up to the pass for me this week, yes, I have a life.

I don't.
My presence makes this a zombie thread, obviously.

😂😂

Don’t like eggs much so not for me.

😂😂

A 'little' bit of parmesan??

And Marcus is think there is more than 3 ingredients

Oh. I already like her and her D in biology.
