John & Gregg return...MASTERCHEF !!!!!!!!!!!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Tonight !!!!! am so joyful

oh i like chris too, am glad he won

am thinking of developing Masterchef bingo cards with certain stock phrases

eg
experimental/inventive/passionate/ novice cook
but can he pack in the flavours?
i wanna put my face in that
that's going to have to be cooked to perfection
minted pea puree

hmm

scallops?

I find the amount of grovelling extreme. getting on my tits now

ah yes i love a scallop as much as the next man but blimey there's going to be a national shortage at this rate

and endless bleating about how food is their life is getting wearisome

am appalled by the waste of food in the professional kitchen bit - I'd put it on the side for the staff to eat !
Gregg's shovel handed way of eating is funny, but he is also quite dainty in that he always puts a napkin under his spoon when trying soup

that's on the money!

is another stock phrase.

i'm allergic to scallops. and why are they pronounced scollops???

dang! meant

that's right on the money

Masterchef Nonsense Generator

"and why are they pronounced scollops???"

They're not. Stop talking ballocks!

I'm hoping Sheridan from the last series is going to be one of the second chance contestants. She was like a little marsupial. She could sit in your pocket making lovely food all day. Or perhaps not.

Oh Sheridan - yes !

I am now so sick of every one of them being "passionate" about food that I have stricken the word from my personal dictionary. It's not just masterchef to blame, bloody Rosemary Schrager's lot are just as bad. ARRRGHH!

MAS - yes, we always say that too - such a waste, especially in this day and age (I do know it's recorded but still!). I'd happily eat most of what they bin!

I'll see your stock phrases and raise you (ok, I know we've switched from bingo to poked but still..)

"We've got a tough decision to make"

at least 3 times a week.

poked? poked?
of course I meant pokeR

You've missed out fusion from the Masterchef bingo

John has stopped doing that weird thing with a spoon where he turned it towards him upright to lick it off (that sounds rude now)

According to OED both scollop AND scallop are acceptable. "/skollep, skalep/ "

Now that's just confusing.

Anyway - sod Masterchef bingo - play the Masterchef drinking game. Everytime someone says
fusion
scallop (or scollop)
dauphinoise
fondant (either chololate or potato)
Dream about food
Own bistro
Own restaurant (down in one if 'by the sea')

you forgot

'experimental cook'

(experimental cook my *&%, more 'I look pretty and don't know what I'm doing')

You've happened across another Masterchef pronunciation conundrum Iklboo.

Fon-dant/Fon-dont. Gregg always pronounces it 'chocolar fon-dont'.

And par sta

ah no, parsta is standard Australian, as is yo-gurt. (DH does it too)

I quite like yo-gurt

Gregg often says he'll marry a pudding too

Can I join in the drinking game? How about every time the bald one (God, I've been watching this thing for 3 series and I still don't know which is which!) laughs with pleasure when he tries a dessert. I love it when he does that!

CatIsSleepy a friend of mine posted this on another board:

List 1
Beautifully cooked
A coherent plate of food
Delicious pud!
Yum!
It tastes ... of nothing
It doesn't work
Chilli heat
The deep, deep chocolate
Too much going on, on that plate
It's soft, it's creamy ...
You've overcooked your chicken
Does he/she have what it takes to be a Masterchef finalist?

List 2
Washed away by ...
It shouldn't work ... but it does
How much does she/he/you want this?
No flavour
I'm disappointed
It tastes ... of nothing
Yum!
Beautifully moist
I could eat the whole plate
Flavoursome
It just doesn't work
The sweet, sweet mango ...

List 3
Can he/she deliver those flavours?
You've overcooked your chicken
She/he really wants this!
I'm disappointed
Beautifully soft
Chilli heat
There's too many flavours
It's a disaster.
Aaaaagghh insert contestant's name it's gone so wrong
Bursting with flavour
That's delightful!
It's almost right

List 4
Wow!
Your fish ... is overcooked
Oooh! Yum!
How much does this mean to you?
I could eat the whole plateful
The clean flavours
The beefy punch of that mushroom
It's an abomination
Your lamb ... is beautifully cooked
It just doesn't work
That's so nearly right
That's an ugly plate of food

unfortunately it doesn't feature my favourite ever Gregism: "deep, deep mince"

cyteen that's fab ! love the deep,deep mince
Don't forget voice over woman's ' can xxxx wow them with her main course' 'xxx wowed the judges with his scallops'

cyteen those lists are spot on
and LOL at deep, deep mince
that's a classic

rofl at this - am so tempted to make up those lists into cards! sadly DH is off the booze so a drinking game is off the cards. Perhaps we can do it with chocolate instead...

Maybe you could use pea puree
