It's basic cooking skills. As a cook I'm ashamed for them...and that 22 year old who snapped back at Marcus should be ashamed. He claimed he didn't care if he went through or not ....that said it all
Monica’s periwinkles take me back to childhood where our neighbors would buy periwinkles by the bucket and all us kids had a safety pin bent open to pull them out. I recall there was vinegar somewhere, either in the bucket with the periwinkles or we dipped them into vinegar as we ate them outside in garden. We may have been in the city but eating those we might have well have been at the beach. I haven’t had periwinkles since we emigrated to the USA some decades ago. Though labor intensive to eat they were well worth the effort, just like pistachios are. Some things are great a nibble at a time.
I like this show. I have no idea what they are cooking based on the names not used in the States. W&W good example, the judges looked excited it was going to be served.
Ive watched a few of these professional Masterchef shows now and it seriously hacks me off that the producers and judges expect someone to complete a 'skills test' when they have not had any experience of that ingredient. Ive never worked with welks or winkles and so I have no idea how to prepare them. Give me half an hour and I can easily research it, but I seriously fail to see the objective of the skills test when in fact it does not lay a level playing field to all contestants. For the judges to pull their ugly faces purely for dramatisation so the BBC can increase their viewing ratings, I am disappointed in Marcus, Monica and Gregg for being complicit in this behaviour. I am also disgusted that the BBC berate these contestants who are there for genuine reasons, but the BBC, for entertainment, destroys them at every opportunity. Why do people go on this show?
@@MetteC5 I used to eat at them all the time never got ill so banning them was a crass idea and also eat the end of the winkle not cutting the end bit off
@@tonymcintosh3480 Aww. Considering your generalisation, at 70!, from your own little experience, what you had couldn't have been impressive. And you surely don't realise either how lucky you are to have the EU to blame: what would you do without it? Find another external Boogeyman?
@@spinnact So you believe only the pope should benefit from basic respect?? Prepubescent hormones are such a bitch, it'll get better for you in 6-7 years, kiddo.
I don’t think I would put winkles and whelks on my menu. Too much picking and winkling them out. Too labour intensive and therefore uneconomical, unless an extremely expensive menu item. Unlikely to be able to charge very highly for winkles and whelks. No go, for me.
Chris will learn the hard way and get a harsh raw reality check. Always remember there is always someone better, always stay humble, focussed and hungry to listen learn and become the best one can be. Silly boy..
Every chef who didn't wash the welks and winkles should be ashamed of themselves.

13:00 Did George say his food tastes like dish soap?!😮
Kudos to Marcus keeping his cool with that young punk.
No point applying for a job there!
"Seasoned diner" Greg Wallace. How does one apply to be a seasoned diner? I like to think we all got some experience eating.
Are you trying to be funny or are you just dumb?
I wet myself hearing this.
Old man who's had lots of Big Macs.
Chef Marcus Wareing’s chocolate dessert seemed extremely difficult.
Chris was rude and arrogant. He will never be able to work in a kitchen and follow orders. He wants to do it his way.
As for Chris he needs to listen.
Yeah , keep the attitude at home!!! And learn from a master!

I'm sorry you don't know how to use Google translate - in 2024..
Winkles and Whelks, I would love to taste them!
I had whelks years ago it was like eating a rubber bung,nearly choked
rabbit sauce! i love it 😊
This opening song, I wish were placed at the beginning of all the shows.
Looks lovely, but i wou,d be hard pressed to order tnem!
I loved the young guy giving some cheek fun to watch .😅😅
Why do both chefs look like they need a good night's rest?

That's all part of the competition they expect the professionals to have at least a basic knowledge of how to do the skills test
NO IMGINATION M CHEF UK PURERAY AND MORE PURERAY from every season
I blame the EU for banning all the seafood stall's you had outside pubs and clubs a few years back
Rather blame advancement of science and knowledge of basic health & safety..

@@tonymcintosh3480 You can't generalise from your individual luck. How old are you?
@@MetteC5 I'm almost 70 and had a rather large choice of what I could or couldn't do before all that was taken away by the EU

Seeing most of the ingredients have been washed before hand on the programme why would they think to wash the shellfish !
How dare that young chef talk over and interrupt Marcus. Unforgivable.
Gordon would have demolished him for that.
Arragont Chef
"how dare he..." grow up, he's not the pope

@@BangaBuseslad Arrogant kid, unworthy of the title Chef.
If Greg had insulted me he would be wearing the orange colored dish.

Man all those are from an island a big island they are all from the UK. its a big shame they don't know how to cook a shellfish
Im disepointed by Craig and his Spacey celebration of lamb. He is headchef, but he presents a poor dish with no seasoning?
Bloke who went first...I thought his dish looked fine...and the Indian dessert showed less skill.
