Ngl that actually makes me respect the judgement team more. Like they're working together to come up with an overall judgement, and they're not afraid to pull out counters to another judge's ruling.

[@WarrenPuffet]

And he was 100% correct, peanut can be massively overpowering, you want it to be subtle.

[@ChillinHD]

I completely disagree just based on how he holds his fork. With a fist lol

Had a nice bowl of shrimp-flavored ramen today for a late lunch. I was hungry. It was good.

[@user-cp9id1mj8b]

Next time throw in a few pieces of raw broccoli, the cooktime of the ramen is perfect to make the broccoli nice and crunchy and you make a really unhealthy snack a bit healthier.

Excellent idea. I do try to add any frozen veggies I might have into the mix towards the end of the cook. Fresh would be far better!@@user-cp9id1mj8b

Yeah, it’s childish. We all experimented with holding our pens in weird ways when we were kids, most of us grew out of it. Then there are those _still_ looking to be noticed.

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Astonished that an adult with a profession in cuisine could in any way hold a utensil like my goofy friend did when he was 8.

He's holding it in exactly the same way as the guy on the left (1:09). For all we know, the guy in the middle might also have held his fork that way, only we don't see it.

[@cuongtruong6043]

you're wrong Amol. we need jungle I'm afraid

[@minimaltrace]

for anyone who thinks that critics are only there to find faults, this is the proof that when something is right, they too can enjoy the hell out of a meal and not focus on "how can i find a fault in this even though i should say it is damn close to perfect"

[@foodmore]

the way the judges were holding their forks while eating the cod........ i just cant........

[@Oldlard]

I was going to say that. You would think one of the few criteria for being a judge is being able to hold the bloody cutlery.

[@tpolutts3309]

Grug no like fancy hold style. Grug eat with shovel.

[@HKim0072]

Actually, I think it's intentional because... they are trying to get all the flavors in one bite. Typically, we use a fork to "stab" food. Not very conducive for getting full components of a dish for tasting. They are using it more like a shovel. (Spoon would be better which people would think is weird as well.)

[@chrismaggio7879]

YES! I was instantly taken back by the ham-handed method of holding the forks!! Caveman style. Odd and ugly.

I feel like you never see samphire in food these days and I'm guilty myself of buying some and doing nothing with it. The natural saltiness would be awesome with that cod.

[@jpaulc441]

Samphire, fennel and celeriac are ingredients I've either never heard of or ever tried until they kept appearing on Masterchef. The fennel isn't to my taste but I actually love the other two and I'm glad a tv show made me try new things.

The cod dish seems phenomenal but, while I'm sure it tastes lovely, what the hell is the plating for that dessert? Looks like a bunch of stuff got dropped in the microwave so they took the glass plate out, stuck a milkshake on it, and served it. Again, probably amazing flavours, it just looked weirdly sloppy after a main that was plated really well.

[@lukescanlon6883]

Dismounting the fillets from the spatula and placing the corn with cutlery versus with his hands would have been a better look. I'm not sure if he washed his hands before picking up the plates to be served at the table but yes a meal can taste great at the table but what goes on with correct or incorrect handling of food in the kitchen might be the deciding factor in eating the meal in the first place.

[@bennieboi20]

These are professional chefs I’m 99% sure they are hygienic with food, plus there was 2 other chefs watching him the entire time, you don’t think they wouldn’t say anything if he was practicing bad hygiene?

[@dyrtybarstud5261]

American food by and large is over-flavored, heavy, too sweet and/or too hot to really shine against the `roots` from whence it came. There are some very fine establishments and chefs doing incredible things in isolation, but for the most part nearly any other nations that are not in perpetual internal strife have cafe cultures that blow the USA out of the water on food, coffee and wine. If all you like is smoky, sweet and hot or a big chunk of over-seared meat the USA is a dream. For most anything else, anywhere else does it far, far better.
