Masterchef Australia the new one starts today

I watched the whole of series 1 on my lunchbreaks but have since changed jobs and don't get home to see tv now! :mad:

Don't think my fella will fancy watching night after night of this show so will record it and watch it when he's at darts!! Yas!!! :D:D:D
 
But I think all three were wrong.

Quote from wikipedia:
"Mint leaves, without a qualifier like peppermint or apple mint, generally refers to spearmint leaves."

There's no such thing as just mint. Mint is the genus of which there are dozens of species. Therefore the other two were also wrong. They should have named the specific species of mint.
My guess is that it was actually spearmint. Possibly Australian mint. Which not only looks a lot like spearmint, but also tastes almost the same. But just mint is wrong.
A friend of mine grows several mint species in his small warehouse. And I have Moroccan spearmint in my garden, brought home by my mum in 1984 from a trip. I love mint tea. Therefore my interest and outrage!!!!! :rolleyes:

What a lame way to go.

Seems folks over at the official Masterchef forums agree that Courtney was robbed.
 
2 years for me but my hubby is 50 next week :D
we are all about the same age too then :)
i cant view the latest episode "content rejected " off on holiday now so will catch up when we get back :)
 
dont worry.....she will be back in a later challenge.....same as they did last year.....and i love the mint fetish.....that was the answer on the card.....mint
 
Just saw ep 1. Golly, it's different isn't it?
It's bold, it's loud. But I like it.
Not too sure about the judges. They make John and Greg look like masters of refinement and class.
 
Effing Hell. Gordon the Swearer is head judge?
Will we get a lot of bleeping or will he sanitise his language?
Looks like they use the OZ format. That is good!
 
so number 12 dun..... its the start of the week and you have to be inventive...... the series is starting to get into its stride now and you get to become familiar with the week ahead.
 
The libs (VVD) are only libs in name. In reality they are conservative, comparable to the UK conservatives without religion.
They won 31 seats (out of a 150). Labour (PVDA) came second with 30. PVV (a mix of BNP and UKIP, headed by the infamous Geert Wilders) 24. CDA (conservative christians) 21. The Socialist Party (left of Labour) got 15
Green Party got 10. D '66 (those are the real libs like the UK lib/dems) also on 10. CU (christians, socially and economically left leaning, but very conservative on moral issues) got 5. SGP (Dutch reformed christians, very, very conservative) got 2. And finally PvdD (Party for animal welfare) got 1. The right have won again, there's never been a left majority in the NetherlanRAB.

In cooking terms this a recipe for disaster. Most likely dish will be a hotchpotch of VVD, PVV and CDA. This time next year we will have had another general election.

Haha, 1400 euros for a makeover. Where did that come from? Equally ridiculous, but sadly true: young women on benefit who are trained to become beauticians, did a course on walking in high heels. This to prepare them for their future jobs. :D:D:eek::D:eek::mad:.
 
That brings back "fond" memories. I stood on one in 1984. A piece of spine broke of in my heel. Very deep. Doctor couldn't get it out without surgery. So he left it in. Took more than 6 months before the shard finally surfaced and could be removed. Strangely enough it stopped hurting after a couple of days and I forgot all about it, until it came out.

The thougt of eating sea urchins brings up bile.

Did you enjoy your encounter?
 
Yeah, that was some really bad acting by Adam.
Not very convincing.
Sweet maid Marion will pull through of course, that leaves a 50% chance for the right one to go out.
 
Yes, that would be nice. Hopefully they bring her back in a head to head elimination with Joanna, who breaks down as she finRAB out there's no one to blame but herself and nowhere to hide. :D:D:D

BTW on the Australian forums there's people who are fans of Jonathan :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:.
 
I won't be here next week either.
It's the big speed week in my home town.
Dutch Grand Prix. The 80th Dutch TT.
My football club manages the official camping site on the grounRAB of the race track. My job is to welcome the guests and show them where they can park their camper vans and caravans. Shift from 16:00 till 24:00. Not much time to watch MC.
Lot's of hairy bikers on the premises. But these only manage to cremate sausages on the barbie and get roaring drunk. Great fun tho.
 
IMHO the first rule of Master Chef should be:
If you cant recongize a coq au vin, there's no place for you in the competition.

When will the Magnificent Seven stop thinking that they are actually the best in show?
 
A member of my football club was a professional army cook.
From what he told me the word "fresh" hardly comes into play when they're out in the field. In that respect the UK version was far more realistic. Wasn't there an episode where they had to cook in oil drums?

I had to LOL at the "change" in main dish. From meatballs to... meatballs. It indeed shows lack of imagination.

This epsiode showed clearly that most of these "best amateur cooks in Australia" can cook reasonably well if they can follow a recipe or do something they've done before (Jimmy and his curries for instance). But they're hopelessly out of their depth when it comes to improv.
How dare they enter a competition when they can't even make a decent custard?

Aaron entertaining the troops? The mind boggles!
