Title: Disgusting...
Post by: Barman on April 06, 2010, 06:50:19 PM
Just watched MasterChef?.

Not cos I wanted to but LL had it on while we were eating?

It is the final stages of the ?competition? apparently?. Three ?finalists? battle it out to find which of them will be declared MasterChef 2010?.

It is all shite as far as I?m concerned and I have little time for it or any other TV ?reality? or competition show?

However?

The BBC had flown the three finalists (plus the two presenters, cameramen, producers and gawd knows how many hangers-on) to India for this stage of the competition?

They had to cook for some Maharaja ? apparently, a ?foodie? who knows his food and stuff ? so picky is he that he had another complete meal prepared for him and his guests (about ten of them) just in case the competitors of the show didn?t come up to scratch?

I find it utterly disgusting that in a country with so much poverty the gap betwixt rich and poor can be so large? so many starving yet a small minority have ?standby? food in case their meal isn?t up to scratch?

Disgusting that the BBC spends taxpayer?s money sending chefs over there to pander to the well off?

Disgusting that the taxpayer in the UK sends  millions to a country that has a space programme yet can?t feed its own people?

It is bang out of order IMHO?.  cussing:

Only trouble is most of the stuff they cook looks delicious but it is either fish, offal or summat else I don't like


I would be prepared to judge all chocolate fondants though  cloud9:

Feeling that strongly about it you should go and live in a country where you don't have to pay the BBC licence fee and UK taxes ................................... Oh! You have.

The bloke who was sweating profusely in Jodhpur - so much so that it was dripping off his nose into the food he was preparing. Nice.
