Old Croc Feb 2009 9:30am, 27 Feb 2009 1,526 posts	Old Croc yep FD - and he managed to master the presentation thing too. The wabbit starter was almost art on a plate - them like that stuff on there they do
MarkC Feb 2009 9:54am, 27 Feb 2009 2,041 posts	MarkC Agree. Andy didn't get his presentation right for me. That duck course looked a bit splatty.
Old Croc Feb 2009 9:55am, 27 Feb 2009 1,528 posts	Old Croc result was about right I think - over the full week WHat about the cheap tatty trophy?? Not exactly the finest in world was it?
Hourglass Feb 2009 9:56am, 27 Feb 2009 4,002 posts	Hourglass Just watched again on iPlayer, and Andy was really practising his winner's face before they took it away from him!!! Really pleased for Mat though
Siamese Pete Feb 2009 9:56am, 27 Feb 2009 1,541 posts	Siamese Pete Last night definitely provided the series highlight (yes, even better than the lamb and watermelon);) The look on Andy's face when he realised he hadn't won - priceless. Followed by a massive sulk while Mat and Chris were doing semi-manhugs - love it:)
TRO Saracen Feb 2009 10:05am, 27 Feb 2009 2,671 posts	TRO Saracen The sundae thing in glass was terribly presented. You knew the game was uo when the judges were trying to scoop it out. The only thing that really, REALLY had me salivating was the lovely slab of roast pork belly that was carted for being undercooked.
Siamese Pete Feb 2009 10:12am, 27 Feb 2009 1,544 posts	Siamese Pete I was surprised at their criticism of the pork too. My mum used to cook belly of pork when we were kids and she never cooked it for hours and hours, but it was always lovely:)
