    They don't looked cooked...


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Gnocchi looks like chicken nuggets....


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I can't see any sauce?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Chris on the top of the bus que at the moment...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,598 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Chris' dish sounded good but didn't live up to it.

    Will the gimmick work?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Looks a bit like oatmeal, I hope it tastes nice...


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Love the taste and smell of Earl Grey...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,598 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Liver and onions. No thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    There's a book in that dessert....

    Love liver and onions....:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I think Chris will go through..

    I'd give Earl Grey man a pass too....


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Ah now.....Julie....


    Mr Liver man gone I think?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,598 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I thought Julie was on her way out 40 minutes ago now she's in the quarter final. Glad Chris got through.

    I'd have had her on the bus after the fish and the horrible skin!

    Can only think that leaving Julie in is a sop to mammy viewers. No one who can't sear a steak should get past round one! Her menus were like 1970's "fine dining".

    As usual, posting while catching up.... so haven't checked any previous posts.

    First reaction - WTF is Yanique (or whatever her name is) doing whinging about "I really didn't want to have to cook again" - YOU ENTERED A BLOODY COOKERY COMPETITION!!!

    (aha, she's changed her tune now that the possibility of eviction has reared its head!!)

    Round 2 - three finalists from last year - the only one I recognise is yer man with the mad moustache! Hoping they're a bit more familiar when they actually talk.... I swear, I think Alzheimers is setting in here!

    oh lads.... "I'm quite confident in my gnocchi".... are they setting him up for an almighty fall??

    hah, didn't take long for the sous vide to appear.... :D

    Harumph... I see John STILL hasn't yet been to me/I grammar classes :mad:

    Steaks.... do you not need to rest them? (bearing in mind I've never managed anything other than to convert steak to shoe leather) - and what's all that about "cooked to order", not much ordering done as far as I can see :confused: Also, four steaks in one pan? Even I (through my fog of ignorance/incompetence) would know that that's a recipe for disaster!

    Oh holy God, that gnocchi dish :eek:

    Salmon looks awful.... what a shocking waste of nice cuts of fish! But they seem awfully impressed by his dessert... rice pudding, yuck! He's a bit.... odd?

    That liver dish.... I'm a huge fan of the smell and idea of liver, but the texture - euwwww! Used to be my staple diet as a kid, dunno when that changed, but I can't abide it now! Shame his dish didn't work, could have been a big winner.

    Hmmm, hard to know who should/will go.......

    Unfair on Joe, my sister was joking about how it looks after two episodes with the first coloured contestant gone and now the old man.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,866 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    Joe was 15 minutes late. Did that count against him ? His food looked better tho.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,269 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Gawd, only 3 through.... that was harsh!

    Poor Kai, well that was never going to happen.

    Katie I was sure would slip through, and I think it's a bit rough that she didn't - she did so well in the first round and for the critics.

    Between the two other guys, I was a bit meh... neither terribly exciting.

    The obligatory Mammy is through - and I think if she gets her presentation skills up to scratch she could go far.

    How far will the dessert girl get before a savoury/main does for her???

    Good week all round, looking forward to next week!

    Nice fix of scahdenfreude there with Cae, thought he was stuck up, arrogant and no fun at all. Was roaring laughing at him panicking. Felt a bit sorry after he was eliminated though.

    I think it's unfair on Julie saying that she is the obligatory Mammy. Already her presentation has come on in leaps and bounds and they do love to see improvement.

    Agree that the other girl was unlucky not to get through.

    Greg seems in good form this year. Flirting away

    John Torode looks like he has aged a decade.

    Couldn't believe it was almost a year when we saw the 3 finalists from last year in the heat during the week.

    Great show as always, looking forward to next week.

    Ah, that was meant more tongue in cheek than anything else... she literally could be the Mammy of any of the other contestants! (Except Joe, obviously :D ). I wish her the best of luck.

    Wasn't online but watched the last two.......Ah, poor Welsh grandad, I loved him!....

    Looking forward to this evening.....:)

    Call me pedantic but I don't like anyone wearing jewellery cooking raw fish or pastry etc.... :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    The egg truffle looks good.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Liver all the way.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    It's like Moby Dick liver........


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    In fairness, Fran's looked like mush on the plate......


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    More livers??....



    It's like being a castaway on this thread............
