Come Dine With Me

[Dave the OAP]

Just finished on Channel 4.

I dont normally watch this, but tonight was one of the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.

The voiceover bloke gives harry Hill a good run for his money.

Basically 5 people who have never met host dinner parties for each other and then they are marked.

Tonight the last episode was this woman making soup with bread rolls, pork and veg and Strawberry Tower for pud.

She hit the cognac and wine early and it all went down hill from there....she served the first course at 9 , the main at 1:30 am and the pudding at 2 ish...

The food was inedible...one diner nearly lost her fillings on teh bread rolls....and the pudding was described as eggy bread with strawberries plonked on top.

She took it well when she only got 10 points from them....as she was totally pissed by then and couldnt care less.

If you get a chance next week, have a look....its well worth it

Best Programme on TV, Dave Lamb is the guy, he is a HERO

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Got into it fairly recently, but never fails to amuse.

Especially once they get drunk and start to slag each other off.

 

[The French Mistress]

Bit like here then!

 

[csider]

gonna plus 1 it in twenty mins, this is one funny programme.

On a cooking note, for those who care, Masterchef is back next month , the proper, shouty version with John Torode and Gregg Wallace.

Michel Roux Jr is a poor substitute on the Professionals version of the series, the original is still the best. I want Gregg Wallace telling me about the MASSIVE FLAVOURS and his SWEET SWEET TOOTH, and how he wants to BURY HIS FACE in a dessert. Love it.

There was a thread on this a little while ago. Dave Lamb make the programme. Proper cult status. Great programme.

I'm not a great fan of 'reality TV' ordinarily, but Come Dine with Me is a work of genius. Definitely worth the effort to watch it for those that haven't. Some of the people are astoundingly rude considering they are invited over for dinner.

 

[Sibroadway]

Remind me to never go to dinner round
that dopey bitch's house!
What a chop-stick harry that bird!!

 

[Bozza]

It's the show that just keeps giving.

(Which is presumably why we have so many of these threads over the years as someone new eventually finds it.)

 

[algie]

Have to amit i watch it as well.

Roux was not that good, there is also an MOTD Masterchef in March I think as part of Sports Aid with Linneker, Hansen and Lawrenson which should be good.

Have any NSC'ers attempted to get on it? I am trying to coax a friend to apply, but to no avail thus far.

Go on CG. You know you want to..!

What I love about Masterchef is Gregg Wallace simply reading out the ingrediants as a response to a dish.

If a dish was made with Lemon, Chilli and Chicken he will say "I'm getting Chicken, I'm getting Lemon, I'm getting Lemony Chicken, with a hint of chilli, cutting through the Lemon finishing off with an explosion of Chicken, then Lemon and Chilli, it's a Chilli Lemony Chicken delight, I could eat all of that and if I had that if someone served that up to me in a restaurant I'd be very happy"

If Gregg is unable to construct a sentence he will simply say "sorry the flavours just don't work" irrespective of whether he likes it or not.

I also look forward to John Torode saying for a "man who doesn't like puddings, I like that" - EVERY BLOODY WEEK.

Also watch out for Gregg Wallace struggling to remove the spoon from his mouth after eating a pudding. Really watch out for it next time, after swallowing he really struggles to remove the spoon from his mouth as his mouth grips it independent of his brain.

Maybe you only tune in when it is Sticky Toffee Pudding?

 

[clapham_gull]

Forget to mention Come Dine With Me, utter genius of a programme.
