Masterchef thread 3. Just don't mention the nuts.

Onwards we go, Chuffs 😊

Odd the way his Welsh accent was stronger when he left. Not just the Welsh "Thank you" but the rest of it too

Of course your comment made me go and read his profile too so now I feel bad about saying he was a bit annoying

It was! I didn't think he sounded Welsh at all except when he was leaving. I have relatives who live in Wales and their accent is lovely and distinctive, when they speak English. Welsh is their first language and as children, when we squabbled, they teased us by speaking it and laughing. We found it really annoying but overall we thought they were fairly drenched in glamour!

I’m sad at the illness and admire the idea of the eating nose to tail. Still found Daniel a bit annoying though.. from the bio and the programme I can’t imagine Daniel would have any truck with people treating him differently or thinking of him differently due to disability.
Good luck for his next steps - he did have interesting ideas so might be the cookbook or restaurant critic

See you next time chuffs

I could just hear it, Fransgran, but it was very slight. I left Wales nearly 50 years ago (I...err...was obviously a prodigy who went to university at a very young age <cough>) and I've got a stronger Welsh accent than Daniel who still lives there.
Right up until the end when he went full Gladys Pugh 🤷‍♀️

Agree with all of this, Cookingdoesntgettougher.
Put very well.

I was a similar prodigy (she said, with a coy simper!) 😂

They never talk about the dangers of eating under cooked meat (apart from chicken) on these programmes. I will never eat venison in a restaurant, because if it is nearly raw, you could get toxoplasmosis.

I do remember Gregggg being very chary about underdone pork and refused to eat a lovely looking piece of Iberico pork, despite being told it was supposed to be pale pink.

I seem to remember that, I think Iberico is where I would make an exception.

So i missed last night and likely won't get time to catch up before 8. Someone surmise for me!

Well, it was quite a journey @PotterHead1985 but they started out at the Railway Museum in York cooking a banquet for many muso-type guests - menu devised by our headbanded judge Anna.
VERY fiddly with a ‘twist’ on fish & chips which involved rolling the cod in shredded wheat (Tony’s job) and poor Jhané pureeing 97 kilos of peas. Sabina kept splitting her mayo and was in tears. Antos and Kristen sliced tonnes of potatoes wafer-thin for giant vats of terrine. Daniel had to cook venison which he was very, very pleased with and declared himself extremely good at it. However it turned out rare/blue not medium and earned him an eye-roll from Anna. There was Much Drama, not least from Anna.
meanwhile Frankie and Matt quietly beavered away making custard tarts with rhubarb on top and these were the triumph of the day and saw them sail through to the next round.

I’m now too knackered to summarise what happened next but they had to use venison or rhubarb and Daniel was OUT after messing up with a dessert that had a rock-hard caramel top.

Phew. Exhausting in this heat!

Why thank you @Halsall excellently written. And hah to Daniel. Thinking you are the dogs bollox and fecking up and going home. Good enough!!

Evening all.

Evening, didn’t make it yesterday but great précis from @Halsall, thank you!

Oh it's sob stuff round.

Brilliant summary, @Halsall 👏
Evening all

Ooh patterned headband!

This is going to be Nonna central.

Yup. Q all the twattery

Evening all. Fecking Nonnas again, I bet.

Incidentally I was watching the new Stanley Tucci programmes and yes, practically the first thing I saw was a whole bunch of Nonnas 🙄

"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back in time for breakfast!"
I thought kippers were, by definition, smoked.

Evening all. I watched last night but still enjoyed @Halsall 's synopsis

A perfect summing up @Halsall
