Masterchef and Eurostar

I'm addicted to Masterchef, but always seem to be eating a ready meal or bowl of Heinz soup while I'm watching it, which makes me feel a bit depressed.

Sometimes I feel puzzled - who really wants to eat pasta made of squid ink?* It sounds like something the witches in Macbeth might concoct. How about frog entrail foam with toad eye sorbet? Its probably a delicacy somewhere in the world.

There was a pause there while I went to a quiz night, but not knowing the revenue of Eurostar lost us 10th place out of 12 teams. Hmph - I didn't know people could make so much money in a year.

Methinks 'Eurostar' is quite hard to type after three glasses of wine and a packet of cheese and onion.

Do Masterchefs understand the importance of 'cheese and onion' in British society?

Will Walkers Crisps start doing 'Squid Ink and Toad Eye' crisps?

Yum


* regular bloggers will recall that the tins of 'squid in its own ink' would finally have a use after all these years seeing as the marauding gangs never came to rescue me.

They did launch all those peculiar flavours for that competition recently. We had one of each open in the staffroom but they remained untouched until people got desperate. I think it was the chili and chocolate one people objected to the most. Personally, I thought it tasted like weetabix and was therefore comparatively inoffensive, but there we go.
