Come Dine With Me...

[Zammo]

One of my favourite programmes on the telly just now is Come Dine With Me especially now that I like cooking, if you've never seen it, it's basically 5 people that are competing for �1000 in cash and to win they have to throw the best dinner party. I saw this guy on it from Edinburgh who did something with stale bread and water which to me looked like paper mache...eugh! Anyway he was a little on the eccentric side and while cutting his onions he had a top tip for us viewers he was wearing swimming goggles and I can only think they must have been to stop him crying. Do you use something round your house or at work for a purpose that it really isn't made for? i.e. goggles for cutting onions...lol!

I once spent a whole Sunsay afternoon watching back to back episodes of this programe I'm sorry to say! I was enthralled....

Anyway... when cutting onions I wear my sunglasses to avoid tears. I also use scissors (brought for the purpose not random ones) to cut chicken.

This too is one of my fave programmes,

I saw the episode too with the swimming goggles, I couldn't help laughing!!!

What gets me it that in the first episode, they are slagging off the first to cook, saying I can do better, poor presentation, my dish is tastier, and yet when it is their turn, they fail miserably.

I reckon I would be good on this programme!!

If I only had the nerve......

I find it very entertaining too. The best one I saw was based on a group from around Ayr (i think) it was one guy and 4 women. The guy was hilarious, he got in loads of Moet and plied them with drink then served up pigs trotters for the main meal! I think the narrators comments are very amusing and really add to the show.

I've never watched it ...but it does sound good.

I wouldn't have thought wearing goggles to chop onion would make any difference, is it not breathing in the onion that makes you cry ?

[squarebear]

No it's when the acid from the onion reacts with water in your eyes.

I love this programme - about we had a new series instead of the repeats.

The 4 o clock time slot on Ch4 has had some cracking programmes - Home from Home, A Place in France, A Place in Greece, Coach Trip.

Loved them all

Ethel, they are also show on sky, I cannot remember the name of the channel but it is number 265.

This channel seems to get the first viewing, well they have ones I've yet to seen on C4.

Did you catch the celebrity ones???

What a turn up for the books.

[looobylooo]

I too love Come Dine With Me, I think its a great programme, and yes, the narrators comments are very humourous! lol

Did you see the chap on Mondays programme of this week? ..
He reminded me of Les, the barman on Men Behaving Badly!! lol ....
Bless him, he was getting a bit hot and bothered under his tight fitting tie and collar when he was beavering away in his little kitchen, sweating buckets, preparing his gourmet meal for his new guests who patiently sat round his dinner table in the living room, waiting to be fed.
Awww did you see his green pancakes??!! lol ....
