That was one of the worst line ups I've seen in a while!! I understand how nerves can get the better of you but some of that cooking was dreadful. We spent most of the hour laughing incredulously

Strawberry Risotto, with SALMON?????

As for Matt, totally dead behind the eyes and it was painful to watch.
They were obviously going to hold the use of strawberry risotto against her so I would have liked her to make some suitable comment about their palate in not being able to appreciate it!

He said that he was desperate to dip his pork in to something wet.

Make of it what you will.

I was thinking the Australian who I believe said he works in a Michelin-starred restaurant was cut slack over running late, while one of last night's was denied a few seconds more to pour on his sauce - then they tore his dish to pieces for the absence of a sauce!
That was the critics round where generally some slack is given.

I thought he had already run over time and just carried ignoring Greg's calls that time was up.
Yes, i think that was more the case, and he seemed to be pretty relaxed with the time in the skills test as well... I did think Gregg was going to square up to him at the end of the second round though!

A fillet o fish chef.

BTW peeps don't ever order a fillet-o-fish at Maccie D's. They are left sitting there all day. Sometimes for days even.
Being left for a whole day I could imagine but days? No I think the health and safety risk would be too great for McD to risk their reputation. Such poor practice doesn't really lend itself to the good practice that they try to purport.

Not necessarily. Some contestants have put together strange flavour combinations which sound wrong but have worked; the master of the probably being Tim Anderson, the winner of Masterchef 2011. However, weird flavour combinations that sound wrong have often turned out to taste wrong.

Just caught up with the programme and was horrified to see onion being used - we would never put onion in a carbonara. Very surprised to see Monica do that. You shouldn't need to use any cream either if you have done it properly, but at least cream is a flavour more sympathetic to the dish than onions, especially very briefly cooked. Sorry, but yuk!

Thinking back to yesterday's tarasamlata skill test ,a few people questioned that it as dark pink.I don't think Marcus mentioned that it was smoked cod roe which is always used for this. Fresh cod roe is a creamy colour and bland in taste.
Just thought to mention it in case anyone was unsure.

May I ask what your background is please/who 'we' would refer to?
Curious, thanks, not trolling - I've googled and can see the recipes that pop up do not include onion.

Last night was hilarious and the comments on here were worth reading on their own. Looking forward to something similar tonight
