You are right NFB. It is a massive cake that was made to celebrate the Queen's recent 96th birthday. She had to get Prince William to use his helicopter to blow the candles out.

It's nice that they got it built in time for it!

Not surprising given that it is filmed here.


That is the O2 - it suffered major damage recently to some of the skin in storms. It is an events venue/arena.

London is pretty



2 contestants made this dessert last night




and couple judges and guests complained there was no soldier and needed brown sauce



s soldier something that is paired with everything like french fries here in USA?

WIKI: Brown sauce it's the same as A-1 steak sauce here in USA. Who puts A-1 and Soldier (toast) on a dessert? I don't understand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_sauce

is that boiled egg on its own shell ? i have no idea what it is called, but i would never pay for this plate, i see fruit so i hope its dessert.

They were joking about the egg(shell) presentation. Soldiers (thin slices of toast) are a common (dipping) accompaniment to soft-boiled eggs here in the UK. They are not paired with everything.
Not aware myself of brown sauce being one for soft-boiled eggs though (fried eggs, yes) but apparently the combo is for some - http://www.gbsauce.com/great-recipes/36-brown-sauce-soldiers.

I will say that I have a strong curiosity to try out the famous "Yorkshire Pudding". I will do just that when I finally get around to visiting the UK.

Final week. The final 3 contestants cook at London's best restaurant. That's what the program said. 21 contiguous years it has earned 3 Michelin stars. Gordon Ramsey actually show the contestants how to cook. I didn't know he cook or own restaurants. I know him from his show where he goes to other folks restaurants and #%&*$# about the food.

ONE ravioli? Is this a pre-appetizer appetizer?



Hard Pass!!

I want her to win.




48 contestants began 6 weeks ago and now there are only 3. 23 years old: the youngest of the 48.

College student that just earn a law degree who said she ate out a lot and if she did cook, she only knew to make beans and toast and eggs. Then Covid came and she had to lock down at home with Mom for 12 months: she spent that time learning to cook.

These are some of what she cook in the 6 weeks to get to Final 3.

NFB should apply to be a host on the Food Network.

Are their hosts allowed to show favoritism for pretty, young, female contestants?

BBC, not Food Network.



Each of the final 3 had 1 hour and 30 minutes to cook a 3 course meal of appetizer, main course, and dessert for Judges Gregg and John : total 6 plates of food per contestant.

EDDIE: https://imgbox.com/g/VFOV6Pyy3z

POOKIE: https://imgbox.com/g/UKqqmyOPh3

and RADHA, the 23 years old college student/future lawyer.



She didn't win. EDDIE won.

I am very sad BUT I still wish her luck and success. She has a law degree and wants to become a lawyer. But many of the past Master Chef contestants, after appearing on the show, have left their previous lives and careers to become successful restaurant owners, writing cook books, doing catering for the wealthy. Maybe cooking is her true calling, not being a lawyer.

MasterChef is back.

I don't eat oysters but that looks nice.



That's a bizarre dessert.

Fish on toast. I spewed in my mouth.



After seeing this, I feel foul and will hard pass on dinner tonight.

Not a big fan of kidneys myself but fish (in various forms but sardines is a common one) on toast is a fairly normal thing in Europe.

Fish on toast looks like a great snack.

Enjoy it. I won't.

Do you like toast?
Do you like fish?
Do you like tomatoes?
Do you like tapenade?

If so what is wrong with putting them all together? ... It isn't a million miles from a seafood pizza.

I don't like fish except for fried catfish. I never had tapenade, I can't say I like it or don't like it. Seeing it in the episode yesterday was first time I heard of such thing.

As a kid, would have heated frozen fish sticks with yellow relish sandwiches.
