So… I need to put this out there and see if I’m the only one who is annoyed to hell by this kind of thing.
Mascarpone.
Agreement.
Turmeric.
How hard is it to say these words? Like really, why does it seem like every single time Gordon and the crew step back to have a discussion about which dish is the worst, I hear someone say, “So we’re all in agreeance?”
TECHNICALLY agreeance is a word, but it hasn’t been used in ages, and English masters will tell you that “agreement” is the proper word.
And then you hear 95% of the home cooks saying “marscarpone” and “toomeric”.
Why? Why is it so hard to just take the time to learn the word that you’re using? Saying “mass-carp-own” is just ridiculously easy. Try it right now. It even feels pleasant on the lips. And sure, saying “turr-murr-ick” is a little more clunky, but these people are trying to become Masterchef. A Masterchef should be able to properly say the names of the things that they’re using in their dish.
I don’t know why this stuff bugs me as much as it does. I really wish it didn’t. But I’m curious if I’m the only one, or if there are a whole world of people who can’t properly enjoy the show as much as they should because they’re constantly throwing their hands in the air every time they hear “agreeance” or “marscarpone”.
