The dish the Gogglebox cast couldn’t stomach: Couch critics ask ‘why would you do that?’ as a MasterChef star makes CHICKEN FEET ice cream
The Gogglebox cast had distinctly mixed reactions on Thursday night to the first mystery box challenge on MasterChef: Back to Win.
Judge Melissa Leong chose the varied selection of ingredients, which included taro, whiting, coriander and chicken feet.
While siblings Tim and Leanne Lai both love traditional chicken feet, they weren’t expecting one MasterChef contestant to use them as an ingredient for ice cream.
‘I don’t care if Bulla makes it, I’m not eating it!’ The Gogglebox cast react to Masterchef: Back To Win contestant Ben Ungermann’s chicken-feet fat caramel ice cream ‘gela-TOE’
Ben Ungermann decided to make chicken fat caramel ice cream, using a typically savoury ingredient for a sweet dish.
Tim and Leanne were simply baffled by the concept, while Anastasia Katselas and Faye Kontos had a far more dramatic reaction.
‘Why the f**k would you do that?’ Anastasia asked.
Unique take: Ben Ungermann decided to create chicken fat caramel with ice-cream from the typically savoury ingredient – chicken feet
‘You know what the ice cream’s called?’ Matty Fahd asked his wife, Sarah Marie, and friend Jad Nehmetallah, whom they were speaking to over video chat.
‘Gela-TOE!’ he said, prompting Sarah to joke she was concocting her own recipe for ‘breast milk ice cream’ while nursing her baby son, Malik.
MasterChef judges Melissa, Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen all praised the daring dish, but 59-year-old Goggleboxer Lee wasn’t quote so enthusiastic.
But why? While siblings Tim and Leanne Lai both loved traditionally served chicken feet, they certainly didn’t expect the bizarre way the MasterChef contestant decided to cook the dish
‘I don’t care if Bulla makes it, I’m not eating it!’ she said.
Gogglebox Australia recently celebrated its 100th episode, and Foxtel is reportedly set to announce a celebrity spin-off which will air in September.
The celebrity edition is tipped to star KIIS FM radio presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, according to TV Blackbox.
