I think the desserts annoy me more than anything. I don't want half a dozen little spoonfuls of stuff, I'd just like a plate of something nice.

I love how a lot of the dishes are presented, but I am not keen on such fancy food. However, the dishes are supposed to be spectacular enough for the banquet and as such this week's chefs were up to the task. Last week they weren't. I don't watch many food programmes and I don't watch any with the view of spending more time in the kitchen!

I didn't fancy any of tonight's offerings. That starter made almost entirely from onions, yuk. As for the puddings, honey has a strong flavour at the best of times. I don't think I could have eaten any of it.

Definitely some weird and wonderful combinations. I've seen a few of this series when there was nothing else on.
The presentations are ridiculous.

I think it's the most boring food programme on telly.

Haven't bothered with this series.

Is it just me that can't believe the dishes the chefs all seem to come up with? I haven't seen a single thing that I'd actually want to eat. Goodness knows what the WI ladies will make of the banquet if this is the sort of thing they'll be faced with. That pie with sheeps tails in got highest mark. Looked absolutely revolting but the chef judging it said it was wonderful. Yuk Yuk Yuk!
