MasterChef viewers slam chefs for serving hungry firefighters tiny portions

2023-05-24

MasterChef viewers have called out contestants for serving "small" portions to "ravenous" firefighters in the latest episode.

The chefs were tasked with creating a main course and dessert for 120 emergency responders on Tuesday ( May 23).

The BBC contestants were split into two teams as they raced to prepare the dishes at a firefighter college in Gloucestershire.

The blue team decided to cook a roasted cod in Thai coconut broth, while the red team went for a venison Wellington.

But viewers were quick to point out the portions and joked the firefighters would need to stop off at McDonald's after.

One person said: "The Wellington is too small for me. I'd be starving after."

Another wrote: "Sorry but if you're a ravenous firefighter you don't want MasterChef size portions to refuel."

While a third said: "Bet all those firefighters are down McDonald's straight after this lunch! #MasterChef."

Viewers also slammed John Torode and Gregg Wallace for their "passive-aggressive" remarks towards the hopefuls.

The pair provided commentary as they offered their advice to the chefs, but it didn't go down well with the contestants.

"Passive-aggressive Gregg and John on these mass catering tasks is pretty tiresome," someone tweeted.

Another said: "Bloody hell Gregg don’t be such a debbie downer."

A third person commented: "Not enjoying Gregg aggressively shouting at stressed contestants “how are you feeling right now?” There in a f***ing timed competition, you muppet."

Another added: "Oh shut up you egg head with your faux 'ooh this is getting tense' bulls***."

The firefighters were left impressed with contestant Chariya after she came up with a last minute dessert.

She made biscuits after she forgot to add eggs to the batter in her coffee cake.

Speaking about the biscuits, one of the firefighters said: "It was absolutely gorgeous, can't really fault it 10 out of 10, are there any seconds?"

MasterChef airs on Monday, Tuesday and Fridays at 8pm on BBC One.
