OK...I'll bite. What are you talking about? I haven't been around

It's that stupid TV show. So stupid that I watched it for 2 hours.

Beats me. I've only seen it twice now. Or does that count as 3 times?

You know! THAT TV show. Heck, I don't even remember what it's called now.
It's that one on Wednesday night ... prime time broadcast TV... With that
... is that Gordon Ramsey? And Lidia's asshole son.

I'm curious, too. What TV show? Steve's original posts left me
clueless also considering the context he did not provide! <G> I could
not tell what he was talking about either!!

Sky, who is often clueless, but in this case most definitely!!! HEH!

Damned if I know. Probably nothing.

They're *all* stupid. I guess I answered my own question. Nothing was
missed.

Heh! No wonder I was clueless. I've not seen that show either - and I
think it might be called "Master Chef" - but what do I know (er, that's
a rhetorical question/statement!) heheh!

Sky, who's still knocking on wood that thunderbird seems to be stable

It's the only prime time cooking show on broadcast TV. C'mon! Everybody
watches it!

:-)

Masterchef.

OK, so I thought more people watched it than that. I was being purposely
obtuse figuring somebody would have watched it. But I really did forget
the name until I just looked it up.

I could see people were leery of the lotus root.

French sorrel does resemble those watercress greens he had. The show
could have had other confusion factors:

What if it was lox instead of smoked salmon?

What if they were candlenuts instead of macadamias?

Does it sometimes get stuck also on your PC? I find it annoying a lot, it
blocks for 3-4 seconds and then gets back to normal

I saw it last night for the first time on CTV (Cdn channel). There were
11 contestants and I wondered if it started with 12. At least they bleeped
and visually masked the language that makes me not watch anything with
Gordon Ramsay. Cat Cora was a guest chef. I taped it and haven't watched
the last hour yet. I'll give it at least that one try before I say I don't
like it. ....Sharon in Canada

What's "TV"?

I would have said lox, because often it isn't smoked, just cured. Unless
it smelled of smoke, then I'm sure lox would have been acceptable.

> What if they were candlenuts instead of macadamias?

I figured there must be some harder ingredients out there than macadamias
so my first guess was candlenuts until they showed a close-up.

Sorrel has a more elongated leaf. Those were more round. And the smell
would have been added confirmation.

I don't think anybody picked the salmon either, which was obviously
sockeye.

For those who didn't see it, there was a table full of 25 "mystery"
ingredients which the contestants had to name as many as they could.
Nobody guessed more than 11 - but some people didn't have to name as many
as they could - just enough to keep them from losing.

I would rather see them guess as many ingredients as they can rather than
just beat the guy ahead of him/her.
