Masterchef

Tom was earmarked as a winner right from the start. I think they might as well pin a Michelin star on him now! The other two were fantastic and in any other year,either of them might well have won. I wish they had all shared in the bubbly at the end.

Yes I cannot eat shellfish but the idea was interesting. I cannot stand fancy artwork food but I thought his food was faultless. He didn't make any errors at all he was a worthy winner.

But they did look beautiful!

The plates did look impressive. Oysters are very odd as you’re not supposed to chew or bite them so it’s a bit like swallowing a bit of gloopy sea water. Each to their own I suppose. Tried one once out of curiosity and never been tempted again! They are supposed to be an acquired taste but you’d need to take out a mortgage to acquire it!

Let’s hope the olive oil ice cream doesn’t become a “thing”. It would have to be a very mild olive oil and even then, not something I would pick off a menu!
