Chicken feet and deep-fried eyeball? That's a pop-up right there! Masterchef: The Professionals Thread 4

[Halsall]

Please enjoy the delights of the new thread, Chuffians.

I hope Gareth isnt brewing a "teacher, because its really not going to suit him.

Bloody criticising Caroline - go away!!!

I love the put mark with the dainty dishes!

If time is against all five chefs it’s probably because they haven’t been allowed an appropriate amount for the task

Regarding scallops I just need to say I had divine scallops last week in Cornwall. None of this nicking the coral for a sauce or something and artfully slicing the remains white part into two or three tiny slices. I had three whole scallops swimming in the most delicious herby butter and I mopped up every bit of that butter with some nice sourdough.
(DH is dairy free and was presented with a large pile of olives! He ate them all).

Especially the pud-skills that take years to hone.

Pastry work/dessert etc is very specialised. Really difficult for anyone but especially Mark, who's a big barbecue guy!

ETA - gah!I keep crossing with everyone 😂

He seems to be only criticising women at the mo

I always think the restaurant challenges have all the employees standing in the wings to sort it all out at the last minute.

Caroline has not got the hardest post.

Georgia “I think I’ve got the most diff to plate”

she is a bit of a moaner

Just like that.

I was just saying the exact same thing. Pastry is very exacting and not like throwing a chunk of meat on a BBQ.

Placing all those individual fish eggs and then tiny wee blobs of gel in between looked like a proper wanky job tbf

She never stops moaning and whinging.

Yay Luke! Doing well

Luke had three plates!!

Delicious

Those peas are a bit khaki.

Its fucking peas. Which to me are not a bbq food.

Restaurants that call a sandwich ‘sando' because they think it's modish and Japanese are really bloody pretentious imho. Although I think we’ve established that tbh.

Georgie had the easiest by far

The lobster tails look the most substantial part of the meal.
And I’d hoover up the Mille grille.

Oh shut up Georgia.

I mean, a cheese toastie with Heinz tomato soup is the actual food of goddesses. But not when it’s a bloody canapé.
