Not going to be able to see more than a bit of this this evening, but watching the beginning, I don't understand the seafood terrine. What's the point of getting a load of different seafood then blending it all together?

Because it tastes nice? It's no different to any other kind of terrine (game, for instance, which is delicious) or, say, a seafood bisque. The flavours blend together well.

Anyone else think they've seen Karen from last night before? Come Dine with Me maybe?

I thought maybe she reminded me of someone but you could be right - she does look familiar.

Why use different sorts of fish when you're blending them all together, though? You wouldn't be able to distinguish what had gone into it so you might as well use one type for the terrine part and put strips of another, say, the salmon, in the middle with the scallops. I don't know, it didn't appeal to me at all, but it just seemed a bit of a waste of different types of fish.

It didn't look appealing when Prue was pushing it around her plate either, presumably because of the egg white thing, but it didn't do them too much harm in the end.

Haven't been watching all the instant restaurants, but I am now watching and am a little bit grossed out by the idea that beef hash is going to go with American style pancakes!

I've just got there. He obviously wasn't paying much attention to his American breakfast to put beef hash with pancakes and not a ton of bacon and a few gallons of syrup.

Who are all these people?

Not sure...but wait until you see who wins the fan favourite. I was shocked, but then it's nothing to do with skill when it comes to most popular dish, it's all about what they like the taste of...judges' favourite however, now that's about skill.

Darn the Syrian Siblings are back as a 'suprise wildcard' hidden behind a tree!

Jesus where's the tent? If I had paid £75 million for one I'd expect Paul to turn up on time and put it up!

Can't think how anyone voted for that stodgy pancake with white chocolate sloshed all over it. There's no accounting for taste.

I'd rather Mr I'm from Yorkshire and Mam who doesn't eat anything she hasn't been eating for 65 years don't win, apart from that it would be hard to underestimate how much I care.

I don't know why, but I am sure Channel 4 did an MKR before and it was just as lacklustre (I recall Nigella, for some reason). I don't think that we are the best at doing cooking shows, though we are great at inspiring other countries to take the idea and run with it, making it vastly better (for this see Masterchef).

I can't remember which channel it was on but I do remember the judges were Jason Atherton and Lorraine Pascal. It was dull but I don't think it was quite as dull as this version! I'll be interested to see if they give it another series. I suppose it depends on whether they can attract advertising.

It was actually baby vomit!

+ the Syrian Siblings. 'Mam's' only there because she thinks her precious little son's going to win and be handed his own tv cooking show. Lets be honest we're still only watching to see how bad it gets. At least tomorrow the 'tent' turns up a bit smaller than I remember.

You were completely right - now trying to figure out what show it was (just remembered it was something called 'Taste') and apparently it aired on Living. Wonder why they dropped it? Nothing to do with it sucking I suppose.

The Taste was on channel 4, Nigella was one of the judges. Its USP was that the judges tasted blind and tasted a single spoonful of food.

MKR UK mk1 (the Atherton/Pascale incarnation) was on Sky Living.

They were both crap.

AGreed they were both pretty dire. I have wondered if Lorraine P might be up for the role of the 2nd judge on C4's Bake Off. She ticks an awful lot of boxes.

Don't think this version of MKR will be back. I really rather like the Aus version & this doesn't stray wildly from the format etc but it's almost like watching a completely different programme. It must be down to the personalities of the judges and the contestants.

Was it Channel 4 who did just one series of the cooking programme that had lots of judges including Stacey whatsit & Tom Parker Bowles? Members of the public or teams bought dishes to a fete type of event initially. The winner was a lady who did an authentic curry & M&S carried it as a ready meal for a while. Runners up inluded a group of young people with learning difficulties who did a Pimms jelly. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.

I wonder if Nigella had problems with a visa for the USA after her drug taking admissions in court? I mainly watched it fir Anthony Bourdin & wish he was on another show. Think he worked well with Nigella on screen. The French,an though (can't remember his name) was just so rude & arrogant.

That was Food Glorious Food on ITV with TPB, Carol Vorderman, Lloyd Grossman and others

Glorious was stretching things a bit...

Long time lurker of all the MKR/Masterchef threads, I am "unlurking" to say that I have just watched this series of MKR on catchup on Sky. I prefered it to the current Ch4 version. "Relurking"

Lets hope that Prue didn't quit The GBM for this!

We'll know if he suddenly bursts into 'Lucy in the Sky ...'.

Prue's getting less natural as it goes along too. In fact most of the teams would make better presenters.

"They deserve the best" so why are they here!

I wonder if this will affect their tv work in the future? Maybe her soul is being slowly drained away?

This really does feel like a bargain basement GBBO!

"you'll be cooking at kitchen headquarters" she says standing in the 'magnificent kitchen headquarters'!

All this tension is killing me, my nerves are a wreck... do I put the garlic bread in for 12 or 14 minutes?!
