    So I am watching 'Professional Masterchef' and some Michel Roux chappie sets the BRITISH contestants the challenge of making a dish well known in LYON! So called, Cardon (looks like very dead cellery), Truffle, Marrow, and Gryuere. And thats ALL the dish consisted of! Apart from the fact that this is utterly irrelevant to British chefs just what the fuck is this god awfull mess supposed to taste like because quite frankly truffles taste of rotten wood, gryuere is no where near as good as cheddar for cooking with. Mwrrow bone is almost tasteless and steamed 'very dead cellery' isnt going to add very much more to the mix. But what really PISSES me off is tha fact that BRITISH chefs should be tested on BRITISH FOOD! Get them to make fish anc chips. Nice but of cod, well seasoned, brown beer batter, chips, mint and pea puree. When its good its sublime, and better than a lot of Franch crap believe me, and a REAL test of a BRITISH chef! This isnt the first time this French prick has done this. Last series he set the challenge of making acake that was invented to celebrate some bycicle race betweem Reims and Paris or some such back in 1912! I mean what is the fucking point? Does the twat think ANY of us have heard of it? French turd! What the fuck is wrojng with apple pie? Pinch of cinamon, and nutmeg, nice pastry, and home made ice cream. Done right its sublime, and a propper test of a BRITISH chef! Oh, and the French have absoloutely no comprehension of just how good mint is and what to do with it. Bloody pagans!

    Fat_Boy, That Masterchef (professionals or not) - it isn't a cookery program where you can learn, by example, how a dish is created and cooked. It is just another excuse for a television entertainment program. And that Greg Wallace presenter is really really annoying in what he says and how he says it. It is, IMO, truly trash television, yet it has gained a certain popularity, but not with me it ain't.

      What is truly annoying about Greg Wallace is how he stuffs the food in his offensive gob. BTW Do you know he was a Millwall Football Thug? He was prosecuted for Hooliganism.

        A French man acting like a twat? This is surprising news!!! Next you will tell us the sky is blue, water is wet, and people breathe! Why exactly were you surprised by the guy? If he has historically acted like a toad, brought up obscure crap that annoyed you before and been a complete moron, just don't watch.

        If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

            Now that surprises me. I wouldn't have thought that Auntie would employ somebody with that kind of background. Shows how wrong a person can be.

                and yet I find it quite entertaining; certainly far more so than any of the other reality crap on tv these days. I really don't think it matters what they were asked to cook (they all have the recipe and ingredients) it's how they cook it that counts. ps It's only by taking competitors outside of their comfort xone that you can really test their abilities - giving them roast beef and yorkshire pud is not going to do that.

                  Well not to debunk you at all but "The Canteen" in the base of the National Theatre makes its living from typical home cooked dishes in a high end way. The fish and chips are good.

                    none taken.. my poor attempt was fish and chips are a iconic British dish but not really associated with Michelin grade food, so why would you do a competition of Michelin level food that is traditionally British dishes?

                            What advanced thought mechanisms spewed such offensive racism into your bile filled mind? You were saying the other day how poor you were, so it is true both mentally and fiscally. There is a reason you are poor, it is because you are stupid, ignorant, offensive and anti-social. These obstacles will stop you from advancing in life, so you shall remain the trailer park trash you constantly advertise yourself as. Still, I am ok, for I am educated, experienced, reasonably well off, married, happy and successful in my career. You will be none of these things, for you are a loser.

                                  So I am watching 'Professional Masterchef' and some Michel Roux chappie sets the BRITISH contestants the challenge of making a dish well known in LYON! So called, Cardon (looks like very dead cellery), Truffle, Marrow, and Gryuere. And thats ALL the dish consisted of! Apart from the fact that this is utterly irrelevant to British chefs just what the fuck is this god awfull mess supposed to taste like because quite frankly truffles taste of rotten wood, gryuere is no where near as good as cheddar for cooking with. Mwrrow bone is almost tasteless and steamed 'very dead cellery' isnt going to add very much more to the mix. But what really PISSES me off is tha fact that BRITISH chefs should be tested on BRITISH FOOD! Get them to make fish anc chips. Nice but of cod, well seasoned, brown beer batter, chips, mint and pea puree. When its good its sublime, and better than a lot of Franch crap believe me, and a REAL test of a BRITISH chef! This isnt the first time this French prick has done this. Last series he set the challenge of making acake that was invented to celebrate some bycicle race betweem Reims and Paris or some such back in 1912! I mean what is the fucking point? Does the twat think ANY of us have heard of it? French turd! What the fuck is wrojng with apple pie? Pinch of cinamon, and nutmeg, nice pastry, and home made ice cream. Done right its sublime, and a propper test of a BRITISH chef! Oh, and the French have absoloutely no comprehension of just how good mint is and what to do with it. Bloody pagans!

                                  Reminds me of the last time I was on vacation in France. I had "Saucisse Artisanale" at a restaurant. It was sausages. I don't know who the poor Artis was, but I know where his anale went.

                                    none taken.. my poor attempt was fish and chips are a iconic British dish but not really associated with Michelin grade food, so why would you do a competition of Michelin level food that is traditionally British dishes?

                                    And you know a Micehlin starred restaurant that serves Cardon, marrow, truffle au gratin do you? :) Anyway, thats not the point. To judge British chefs on their ability to cook a dish so obsucure I never heard of it, with ingredients so lame I wouldnt want to eat it is stupid in the extreme.

                                      Reminds me of the much touted Anduilette. A tripe sausage. THey are truly revolting.

                                        Actually cooking a cyurry would be a better test of a British chef since we eat so many curries in the UK.

                                          and yet I find it quite entertaining; certainly far more so than any of the other reality crap on tv these days. I really don't think it matters what they were asked to cook (they all have the recipe and ingredients) it's how they cook it that counts. ps It's only by taking competitors outside of their comfort xone that you can really test their abilities - giving them roast beef and yorkshire pud is not going to do that.

                                          So do you think Michel Roux would get French chefs to cook British food as a test on the French Masterchef? No. Its because he has his head up his arse about French food. Which isnt that special. OK, so forget fish and chips, how about a curry? They are damned hard to make well, but at least its a dish relevant to Britain.
