Great British Menu this week

[Yugguy]

Ok, I do agree with Chris's view, that food can be nutritious as well as tasty, and he must be doing something right to get a Michelin star, but I get my good food at home, when I go to a restaurant I want things cooked in butter and cream, I want richness, I think his head's gone slightly up his own arse.

But Elisha's just bloody irritating so I dunno. I do fancy his starter though.

An odd coincidence; I just cancelled a booking at the Priory (that we cannot make).

Nutrition is important, but his fixation on trendy, Gillian McKeith-style "super-foods" is bks. Perfectly ordinary, seasonal vegetables are as just as nutritious as his Super Aguri Beans.

I'd be interested in tasting it aye, and it'll be interesting if the judges get his take on food or not.

[Yugguy]

Well aye, tbh Elisha isn't a good example of cutting edge Britishness.

To be honest sometimes you look at the dishes and wonder if it's really the best they can do? Some of the dishes in the Masterchef final have been better. I wonder what Emily from the last series is up to now, she was something else.

When I eat out I really don't care about nutrition, I care about taste, presentation and ambience. He comes across as far too evangelical - I wnat good food, not didactic, smug food.

His insistance or serving his food on bits of old house is doing my head in. Naff beyond belief.

[Yugguy]

Aye, cos you'd have taken that saucepan of gravy as to be poured, not to be dipped in, and I can't help thinking you'd just be chasing your nuts off the edge all the time.

Healthy eating is all well and good, but going out for a meal is a treat. When you go out you want tasty food, something special you don't get at home. I thought he was going to far with the whole healthy aspect.

Elisha was pretty crap though, not much in the way of modernity in his menu.

Only thing I don't like about this show is that Mon-Thur can be a bit longwinded. I think it would be better as a 1.5hr show. Looking forward to next week though, really rate Atul Kochar. Had some bar snacks at the bar attached to his restaurant a while back and they were a nice take on indian food.
