Masterchef 2023 - Series discussion

[Sephrenia]

Brent won the advantage...which is?

 

[Meglos]

Are you sure he escaped? Country folk sometimes have interesting stories to tell when animals suddenly disappear...like my hubby's dogs all went to live with Uncle Ned (he shot them!) the cattle all went to live on other farms and drank strawberry milkshakes! Haha!

Hahaha, no, he didn't "go to live on a farm".
I was there when we lifted the hutch up to feed him, and saw him run for it into the empty yard next door, and onwards.

 

[Meglos]

Ok...the guys have to cook with cactus to gain an advantage. Cath is there squawking like a chook...why? And where is Rhiannon?

Rhiannon was sick and so had "no shot at immunity".

 

[Meglos]

Brent won the advantage...which is?

We don't know yet, but they promised something good.

 

[Meglos]

So Andy admitted that the flavour of cactus, on a good day, is about 0.05 out of ten.
So why make them cook with it?
It seemed to me like one of those "disguise the horrible taste of cactus" challenges, only you also had to 'hero' the cactus and make the dish sing of cactii. Without being spiked.

 

[February]

Yay, Declan!
Those flies would have been mega annoying!

Ooh, and now the cactus dishes

 

[February]

imagine getting some of those needles in your tongue - ouch!

 

[February]

Theo (also known as Josh ) - can't taste the cactus? What does cactus taste like? I just Googled it and it said okra. Okra is boring and has no taste as far as I remember when I made the mistake of trying it!
I was waiting for one of them to get a pierced lip!

 

[February]

I almost put something else on to watch just now. Oops. I forgot it's on on a Thursday!.
I'm going strange!

 

[February]

In fact I'm going to watch something else for the first half hour and catch up after. Ygses ones I don't usually enjoy as much.
Nice store, mind you!

 

[Sephrenia]

So the cactus farm they were at in last night's ep is at Strathmerton about an hour and a half north of here...I was late again tonight so where is the shed they are cooking in? Echuca? Also Megs explained that Rhiannon wasn't well last night but what was it with Cath? Why was she on the sidelines?

 

[Sephrenia]

I'm sorry, none of those dishes appeal to me...except maybe the pearl barley pudding.

 

[February]

Pearl badly pudding? Sounds like something they dished up when I was at school

 

[Sephrenia]

Brent...judges loved it!

Josh...Andy sowing seeds of doubt at the eleventh hour...flames!...

...judges finally taste Josh's...they love it!

 

[February]

Brents dish looked alright. Not sure what it was but it looked like smoked salmon on top ?

 

[Sephrenia]

Pearl badly pudding? Sounds like something they dished up when I was at school

Well, I've never had it but apparently it's a thing but having said that...while I love rice I HATE rice pudding.

 

[Sephrenia]

Brents dish looked alright. Not sure what it was but it looked like smoked salmon on top ?

Smoked trout.

 

[February]

Yes, rice pudding is like frog spawn. Not that I've ever eaten that

 

[February]

Smoked trout.

Ahh, close and the only dish I could eat there tonight.

 

[Sephrenia]

I'm sorry, I'm not really into it tonight...I've had a really shit day and am totally pissed off with everyone and everything! Just ignore me.
