What is everyone's thoughts on the Paleo diet Pete Evans pushes ?

I agree with the other judge, he looks sick compared to how he used to look.

In medievel times if you were 'below the salt' you ate off a trencher - a flat round of stale bread - and when the meal was over and all the gravy and juices had soaked into your trenche you ate that too. .

Vicr. he was in Coffs Harbour last week and looked so thin, it was almost frightening.

I didn't watch it last night but just read the report in the Age.

And this sentance caught my eye

""I don't get your time management at the moment. Why don't you cut it, get it in the freezer and

start working on time management," he says.

One thing that has struck me with these reality shows, MKR but ESPECIALLY The renovation show The Block is that

very few of them seem to have a written plan, list or whatever and a time line of what needs to happen when, not just

for their own benefit but so they can show others where they need to fit in and why.

And correspondingly, having something like a list or timeline does tend to highlight things that are missing.

Any thoughts ?

I've been an MKR tragic from the very beginning but find I'm enjoying it less and less now. I watch it while chatting with a FB group of friends. We hardly mention the cooking now, it's so uninspiring.
I have recipes from previous years that I bring out sometimes but none this year, although I did quite like the ice cream sandwich from last.night - if it could be executed properly.
I doubt I'll stick with this year all the way through. Not many of the characters appeal and none of them see to be able to cook.

Oh, and in answer to the OP. Our group mentioned last night how everything seems to be served on a board these days and we don't like it.

I'm always gob smacked when they announce that they have never cooked it before (quail or venison, just recently).

Why choose the big one, the night that counts to cook something you've never done before lol. 

And I agree about time management. The Qld boys didn't put their roast spuds on until after guests had eaten their entree. No wonder the pork was overdone and the potatoes a failure! They do wait hours for some courses. Well that's what we are led to believe...

Ten

You are spot on re the first sentence.

I have cooked quail and of course venison, why they try to do it on the big night is beyond me.

I have stuffed up and burnt a few Venison roasts, it takes time to get it right.
