Let's pretend you entered Masterchef...

[fastfreddy]

Not really something I'd want to do, but I can't stop myself from watching it now it's on again.

However, the choice of dishes when they get to cook their own food is getting rather predictable.

It's all "Scallops, black pudding, pea puree" and "Chocolate fondant" it seems.

So what two dishes would you cook?

[condor]

Starter, some sort of fish dish, whitebait or smoked salmon with stuff.
Main course, I'd probably go for a game dish, fried pheasant breasts or similar.

- Seekh kebab with lashings of chili sauce for the main.

followed by

- Snickers Pie and ice cream for desert.

Bish, bash, bosh...done!

Wiffmaster... you're leaving us I'm afraid...

Pah! I don't need their accolades! Just look at the chap on the left. If he were an ice cream, he'd eat himself.

I'd do them a chips, fish finger and beans sandwich - then tinned peaches (fresh from the tin, avec fork) for pudding.

Cooking doesn't get tougher than that

[Muzzer]

I'm not sure what dish I'd cook for them but whatever it is would be laced with eye drops as justice for both presenters being such insufferably smug tvats.

[condor]

The one that isn't bald has very dodgy eyes. I don't know his name.
He seems to be permanently pissed or drugged up.

I've always dreamed of battling through the rounds, working hard in the kitchen challenges, cooking my best and getting to the final cook off where....


... I pull out some frozen garlic bread and an out of date Fray Bentos pie, and say 'I'm off down the pub, I'll be back in 30 minutes to put the beans on. Have fun....'

[fastfreddy]

MMMmmmmmmm Fray Bentos...

An appropriate username you have there.

Have a

[zakelwe]

That made me chuckle too.

I'd do a boiled goose egg for main course with kit kat soldiers followed by roasted figs covered in tartare sauce for pudding, just so I can baldy eat it and say it was great (as long as Michel Roux had said it was good first of course)

PS Has anyone ever seen Australian masterchef? They don't seem to actually cook anything but just talk about the voting and why they want to stay in and about the other competitors. Actually I lie, they had to make risotto the other day and actually burn it on the bottom so it made a black crust. No, I'm not making it up.

The judges were saying " Hmm, no not really burnt enough" ...

Mad.


Andy

[adycav]

On now, fresh batch of good and not so good cooks!

[fastfreddy]

So, this time we had scallops with pea puree again and a sort of chocolate fondant that wasn't supposed to be. And some more wacky dishes which weren't very nice.

Not great...

[Stu R]

pie and chips for main.

cake for dessert.

Suddenly Masterchef seems to be a formulaic production line - either it's not as engaing as before or I'm getting used to it.

At least v/o India Fisher has a new scriptwriter so she doesn't keep make every sentence into an inane question like: 'Andy has produced a dish of fried beans - but will it be good enough for the judges?' Bloody infuriating!

I am really into watching "come dine with me" Especially after watching it Wednesday night & seeing that young lady with those legs to die for!
