Her reviews though seem quite positive. I am not quite sure where she thought she was yesterday, it wasnt the Ritz it was a comfortable clean run of the mill B&B. It was good value for money too.
Hope she calms down today......we shall see otherwise we will have to listen to her ON Fan page facebook ![]() Quote:
Eh ??? why is she bouncing up and down on the toilet lid

I know we are all hating on Melinda this week, but I am finding Bubble guy equally bad. He seems to think his shit doesn't stink .
I thought that tonight's place was perfectly fine, the breakfasts looked OK, that grease looked more like tomatoe juice and black pudding juice. And it's ironic how someone who deep fries her food then goes on to complain about grease. Quote:

Yep, something's gone wrong and she's probably doing all she can to save having to sell up and move somewhere 'common.' She's one of the Cheshire set after all!
As this suggests it's a very expensive area with parts of it quite exclusive. She'll be lunching less and off a few Christmas card lists after appearing on this. Quote:
I think this is the last week, yes.
No, a pen mark wouldn't bother me- I have a massive sharpie stain on my duvet cover. And yes, I know that my standards are not the same as a paying guest ones. Now if it was a massive blood stain, that yes, would bother me. A pen isn't a bodily liquid, so it's fine. Eggs I like fried in sunflower oil when just fried or in butter and double cream when scrambled. With grated cheddar. Quote:
Noticed how mewinger, kept referring to were she lives is in Cheshire. Sorry pet it greater Manchester . It's a lovely place were she lives but obviously she thinks jumping on the Cheshire band wagon makes her a more worthier person.NOT.
She's a Cheshire lady! |

What is it with chefs and fried eggs. They all failed to properly fry an egg on masterchef too. And burned toast
. I don't remember it being that hard to do when I cooked breakfasts in a youth hostel many moons ago. That grease was unforgivable.

The 'grease' was from the black pudding, he should have drained it a bit though. hard egg from a chef? basic mistake. picky lot arent they?
![]() Even if the black pudding was greasy he would have cooked it all before surely and not had such a pool of grease on the plates. PUKE. I am a chef in one of my lives, and I would never have sent out plates looking like that. I think it must be the filming sure of it, as we have it every day, every series, the breakfast are rubbish. 5 breakfasts should have gone out on hot dry plates with food not squishy with oil. ![]() Sorry but it would have gone back. |

Very much so, taking a photo of the cobweb and spider (hope he was asked) was pathetic. As for the mark re cleanliness 6 seemed a joke. I hope Eileen isn't like what's er name, lady with massive inferiority complex.

I hate them crispy around the edges too, usually thats a sign the oil etc was too hot. For me its not rocket science. There is no excuse to put out plates like that swimming in grease. Nope mine would have gone back as i mentioned above. Boy he let himself down. |

I liked last nights place The Fleece. It was spotlessly clean had all the facilities you would need, and a good price.
I think i will forgive him the breakfast as I am now convinced it has something to do with the filming..... I dont believe a chef with one rosette would make such a fundamental error as putting out greasy plates and hard eggs.... Otherwise yes full marks for me. I liked both the hosts too, but mostly the female, cant remember her name. .I was upset with Eileens low mark, i think it was totally ridiculous and OTT. She went right down in my eyes last night. Shame as I liked her place a lot. |

She lives in TRAFFORD end of. My ex mother in law and family lived in Trafford big deal lol. Of course Bowdon is on the outskirts dont you know and considered posh as they have all the clubs, golf, tennis, cricket, croquet, and bowls etc etc. But its still TRAFFORD. I give up... honestly. The trick with fried eggs is not to cook them in really hot oil or fat. I use a medium heat, with a small dab of bartoli (i cant use butter), and i melt this around the bottom of the frying pan. Gently crack the egg in and let it cook, you can move the egg around. I just let it cook slowly for about 5 minutes until the whites are cooked and the yolk set, then using a skillet i lift it out and drain and put on my toast. OR YOU can use a small amount of oil. The egg doesnt need to be swimming in fat. It will even cook in a dry frying pan but would be hard to lift off... ![]() I have cooked hundreds of fried eggs, never one swimming for their lives in oil or fat.

When the chef bloke was showing us his black pudding and that's not euphemism, he said it was real bp and it had big lumps of fat in it. That's probably where a lot of the grease came from. I always put stuff like mushrooms on kitchen paper to drain away surplus oil. You'd think he had more sense than to serve food swimming in fat. The stuff on his his plates were practically doing the backstroke! ![]() Quote:

Shame as I liked her place a lot. The Fleece was very good and very tasteful. What did Eileen charge for her rooms £65 and The Fleece £80/£85? The Fleece was so much nicer and is deserving of a higher room rate. Quote:

![]() ![]() ![]() The producers of 4IAB must have a formula for choosing the 4 competing places and the order in which they are on the prog. The nasty, vengeful go first and the picky, snotty stuck-up go last. The former can be as evil as they like because they've had their turn and the latter get slaughtered for their scores and comments. |

Very often you see them on this show cooking fried eggs in two inches of oil and the whites all bubble up - I just do them in a non-stick skillet, no butter etc at all.

Melinda's place is near to Altrincham, which used to be in Cheshire. Now it's been swallowed up and is in Greater Manchester. Romford used to be in Essex, now it's part of Greater London. Anyway, the area she lives is considered posh!
![]() .... (Bowdon is a village and electoral ward in Trafford). I was shocked actually to see her place as its just a house isnt it in a housing estate? I see she hasnt even got planning to use it as bed and breakfast. I actually quite like Manchester its got some nice areas. But i dont think i would want to spend all that money living in someones house..... |

Know what, I think eggs at breakfast are one of the most personal food issues going. I actually feel quite sorry for people having to get them right for guests. We all have our preferences, and very rarely tolerate any other way. For me it is poached. Never done in one of those poacher things; white always cooked; yolks always runny.
![]() My husband likes his soft, but hard around the edges and nearly burnt, but when we are away he just eats it how it comes. I have said to him before how come you eat it like that when your away but wont when your at home? His answer is he has to pay for it......men is all I can say... |
