Mediæval feast
The edible spoons looked interesting, but I wouldn't thank you for the rest of the menu tonight. Especially four and twenty crapping birds.

It didn't really nail it the way that the Victorian Feast did. I think the fish should have gone down better, may be the dinners were less adventurous or Heston managed to lead them less skilfully than last week.
I think he can't cook a meal without liquid nitrogen! Who had that down as a kitchen essential.

I love this show but one thing really lets it down - the diners.
Who was on this weeks show, the last one had a cheap and nasty guest list fo sho.
I almost choked when I saw Kathy Lette last week, she's top 3 on my Slap On Sight list. When she starts talking in rehearsed puns about sex... *shudder fest*
Also there was something quite off-putting about watching hamster-cheeked Rageh Omar eating food with a spoon.

except Germaine Greer who was compleatly unfussed by the lamprey and seemed to enjoy all of the meal with out having to play to the camera ... well apart from the balls comment maybe

So many particulars. So many questions.

Last night it was her from Atomic Kitten who was on celeb Masterchef, Liz somebody, Craig Revel Horwood (or 'cock' as somebody referred to him earlier lol), that fella who plays a TV detective* (scottish, can't remember name), oh hang on I've found the proper list....
Germaine Greer
Liz McClarnon
Andi Oliver
Bill Paterson*
Craig Revel Horwood
John Thomson
so yeh all in all another crap bunch, the only mildly amusing interaction between H and guests was when he served up sheeps knackers and make a crack about being the only chef to get his balls down Germaine Greer's throat or whatever it was he said

Aside from Greer, I'm still none the wiser as to who any of these people are
They were all pretty awful though & I so wanted Gteer to choke on that bollock
Mmmmmmmm, Meat Fruit.
What sort of guests do people really want? I can't say I like a huge amount of the people chosen, but I'd struggle to replace them with a much better mix of famous people that would not rub at least some the wrong way.
Who gives a shit really? They're there to react to the food and little more. There's been a reasonable mix of people from the showbusiness world, thankfully not a collection of monotone ex BB contestants and Heat regulars, shrieking loudly and hyperventilating and gesticulating widely as each course is brought out.
Seems a weird criticism to me tbh. Still, yesterday's programme didn't catch my attention in the manner of the first. Too many pies I reckon.

They were weren't they, very bland set of folk. Having said that I'd defy anybody to have tucked in heartily to that lamprey dish dripping with fish bloodd and topped off with a twist of deep fried crispy spinal chord.

- yep you got that right Heston

i'd fucking eat it
fish black pudding sound intresting
it was only two of the guests that resally reacted badly

Articulate members of the public who are picked from applications could be a nice change.
But that'd be far to much like hard work for the AP's at these production companies.
Bland? I can't say that I've ever thought of Anton Oliver (mother of Miquita, best mate of Neneh Cherry) as anything other than loud and effervescent, or that Revel twat from Strictly Cock Ice Dancing as anything other than a cunt. John Thomson's hardly mr quiet family man either.
I can't say I particularly liked the group but some of the criticisms seem a bit bizarre. I think we'd all struggle to come up with a group of celebs that everybody would approve of, let alone stumble upon tv chemistry between them. They serve their job afaik - watching wankers chew on meaty plums unawares works for me.

I doubt it would to be honest. Would people care as much that some random from Surrey is about to eat a disguised testicle? Part of the fun is seeing slightly familiar faces react and contrasting their usual tv appearance. I quite liked watching Omar squeaking on helium in news reporter style last week for example.
Besides the general public already tend to feature in the 'road testing' part of this programme - see the AFC Wimbledon pie eating group.

There are lots of interesting people who would have been better quality guests, and Im not suggesting the usual reality celeb fare either.
A mix of civilians and folk well known in their chosen fields and not just actors, singers and presenters.
There are lots of people with strong opinions who wouldnt have repulsed me as much as seeing Kathy Lette stroking vibrators.
They are guinea pigs though, rather than guests. They hardly get the same experience though; they dont get the ambiance, set dressing or a full menu.

I lolled when that fisherman cussed his Lamprey dish 'I don't like it, it tastes foreign'

No you don't understand - the fact that they have to be celebrities - can't they just be nice chatty people who have an interest in food - celebs are too distracting and less worthy as diners are they more likely to showboat and make glib comments.

I don't know.
Celebrity Come Dine With Me manages it.
A drunk Julia Bradbury vs Edwina Curry was TV gold.
Eh? Wouldn't you say the biggest showboater last night was the (funny) gurner who was eating his pie when the AFC goal went in?
I don't know, I don't really care about the celebrities to a large extent. But the idea of selecting the right kind of telegenic middle-class foody loving members of the general public seems equally fraught with danger to me. Christ, you only have to look at some of the knobbers on Come Dine With Me to know that showing off and silly comments aren't confined to celebrities. At least these annoying folks are likely to have good exposure to the standard restaurant experience that these banquets are trying to subvert and upstage. It's not as though the big feasts of the past were usually attended by proles, as unfortunate as that may seem

I'd eat it. Christ, had none of those people ever been served fish with its head and tail still intact? It wasn't even pushing the boat out as far as some Japanese dishes in terms of presentation. Serve the Strictly Come Dancing on Ice twunt some of that still-living sashimi, see how he reacts to that...They were weren't they, very bland set of folk. Having said that I'd defy anybody to have tucked in heartily to that lamprey dish dripping with fish bloodd and topped off with a twist of deep fried crispy spinal chord.

Love this. Ramsey et al appear like burger flippers in comparison.
