UK only. Masterchef, what a load of cock!
-
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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

You're missing the point: it might be more relevant but they can probably all do that without the recipe: the poncy french dish is a test of their skill: it might have been any dish from any country that they would know fell outside of the competitors comfort zone. As an aside I'll eat pretty much anything but that just looked like something I'd throw out.

Except that which we Brits call "curry" wouldn't be given the time of day by our Indian friends.

Why? In the UK we cook curries from recipies written by Indians? Indian restaurants are almost always owned by Indians (lets include Pakistan here for the sake of argument). Their curries might have been westernised, but dont forget, the famous Tika Masala, created in the UK, is now popular in India.

Did you see the program? It was basic. Steamed Cardoon, sliced truffle and marrow, layered with gryuere on top. A curry requires way way way more skill than that to cook. Like I said. Good fish and chips is more skillfull than the dish they used. (I investigated it, its aparently swiss (hence Savoyard). Savoyard food is basic in the extreme. Raquette, Fondue, Tartiflette are the well known dishes from the region. Any of which can be cooked in about 10 minutes by almost anyone. I doubt the Cardoon is much different. Its not that the chefs on the program didnt cook it well that I am complaining about, most did, though one made it a soup, its the fact they use French dishes all the time due to the assumption that French food is somehow better and therefore a better test. It isnt. Thats my point, which I dont think you get. There is plenty of British food which is more relevant to the audience and requires skill to cook.

And there is the issue. If you were to ask our CP members, presently visiting UK or those who have visited the UK, from the Indian sub-continent they will tell you that it is a rather poor quality imitation of the real thing.

:) I actually like it for the most part, its just this stupid insistence on testing chefs using obscure french recipes that really gets my goat. There have been some stunning professional chefs on the program who have utterly shocked the presenters with their imagination and talent. There have also been some very funny disasters, more so by the professionals, since they are supposed to know what they are doing. As a bit of a foodie I am always interested in techniques and recipes so I generally like watching theese kinds of programs (well, those that have decent cooking ijn them anyway)
