Of Cabbages and Kings* : Master Chef Update
It’s been said that I’ve become obsessed with the class undertones of this year’s Masterchef well that may be the case but then they go and film at Buckingham bleeding Palace home of Britain's least favourite family what’s a dirty trot like me to do.
The lickspittles and forelock tuggers who work for Lizzy and her brood eat fairly well it seems, even if they do it in contravention of the labour laws! We know this as one of the liveried 3rd Toadies of the back stairs claimed only to be allowed 15 mins for lunch so Matt and the MCboys had better pull their fingers out. Of course the Queen is exempt from most laws as well as being tight so adequate breaks for middle age men who are still called a Page is not surprising (obviously Charlie boys toothpaste won’t squeeze it’s self).
The food the MC crew knocked up looked like not too bad high end canteen fare, less apes, peacocks and ivory more grilled fish, ratatouille and sweet corn!!!
Good news on the Chris front as he did well and posh boy Andy who obviously would much prefer to be up stairs with his snooty mates than spud bashing in kitchen with the 4th under-postillion of the Corgi Kennel floundered somewhat.
More posh people to cook for tomorrow hurrah!
Couple more things tonight I know reality shows aren’t real but you really don’t need to cross the river twice to get from MC HQ to the palace!
Oh and Gregg Wallace is a Millwall fan.
Flippin' excellent: The chez BLTP Pancake Day menu in the end was spinach, bacon, mushrooms and cheese filling and to follow some of excellent Xmas marmalade! And the secret: Nigella’s recipe (with an extra egg added) and a nice brand-new pan!
* Queen surely? Ed.

Hey, I've only just noticed that it's the poshos that get their tea cooked for them. How about sending them to a homeless hostel sometime?
also squaddies get near meat and tinned goods and the posh tortured goose liver, if they did go to a hostel it wouldn't haute cuisine you can bet.
Be fair, they cooked for hundreds of Corus steel workers the other week - and it went much the same as last nights stint at the Palace.
I personally can't even believe that any of these places still have canteens. There's a cost cutting exercise straight away for them during the recession. People can damn well bring in their own sandwiches like I do!
I really fear that Andy is going to win now. Come on Matt!!
C&M: i missed the steel works edition but I bet it was vats og food rather than the little stacks we see for the poshos!
I am worried about Andy too he has a steely quality about him Chris is too inexperienced so hopeful Matt will win through (or has done already seeing as it's recorded in advance!)
It was fish & chips and curry. Note that fish & chips was the back up meal last night too. I don't think that there is that much difference in mass catering - it all looks disgusting when cooked in bulk.
I think they could come and cook for me. I'd enjoy making pointless petty comments about the seasoning.
