Anyone eaten anything like the chicken stuffed trotter?

Id rather eat a donner kebab sober!

The trotter was up there with the sea urchin from a couple of years ago.

Hardly a chef challenge really imo. A bit silly for TV.

[Chimune]

Pretty sure I had pigs trotter in a motorway truckers cafe south of Madrid. Was pretty good as all the cartilage and bone turns to tasty stuff after they cook it for 2 days....

[MiniMan64]

Id rather not eat my Lobster sauce full of lobster guts.

20 mins for Marcus' test.. his watch showed 20 mins had passed just as he started to cut his pasta before cooking

[Laurel Green]

Pineapple honeycomb, anyone?

Yep! High praise indeed for her pudding and, think she will do well with the critics with her philosophy of keeping it simple.

I wish her and Joe would stop fawning over each other though

Your wish has been granted it would seem.

All over to channel 4?

The standard this year has been poor - the skills tests in particular have been shockers. I don't buy this "it's nerves" excuse that a lot of the chefs come out with, nerves are one thing but a lot of them simply don't know what they are doing and there is no hiding that.

One of lads on this week was a head chef at 21 and he was st, if you're a head chef at 21 you're either the only bloke in the kitchen or you're a talent of incredible stature, guess which one this numpty was.

[Laurel Green]

Off to a mediocre start with the first test.

[K12beano]

Hmmm - head chefs in gastropubs.....

No thank you.

[Daz68]

That was poor

[Laurel Green]

Mark looks a tad handy.

[K12beano]

OK, I take that back a bit on the last one....

[Laurel Green]

Greg's "I'm looking forward to it" didn't sound to enthusiastic to the veg chef.

[Daz68]

Looks like left overs from a takeaway?

[Daz68]

Excellent Chef.

[Baron Greenback]

Now that's what I call nerves!
