Things took a hilarious turn during one instalment of Channel 4’s Come Dine With Me as one guest pointed out a ‘stolen’ ingredient
Pete handed out edible flowers to his guests
A host on Come Dine With Me was savagely called out by one of his guests, as they believed he had stolen an unexpected item for one dish.
The much-loved Channel 4 programme, which sees four or five amateur cooks from the same local area take turns hosting a three-course dinner party in their own homes, was back for the last instalment of the week.
On Friday July 17’s episode, which is a repeat that was set in Cardiff, it was the turn of chiropractor Pete to impress his guests Angharad, Claire, Charlotte and David, with his dishes which included a lemon posset and Glamorgan sausages.
While at the dinner table, Pete also provided “edible flowers” for his guests but the host was unfortunately left red-faced when he was questioned about where he sourced the flowers.
Angharad asked of her flower: “Where did you get this from then?” Pete replied: “This I cropped from near Llandaff Cathedral.” But Angharad was not convinced by Pete’s tale.
She bluntly replied: “You stole it!” Trying to justify where he got it from, stating that he retrieved the flowers from a pathway, David chipped in that he often walked his dog in that direction.
Questioning whether the flowers were clean enough to eat, Claire said: “I hope you washed those!”
This later led to Pete’s guests discovering that he failed to make his own pastries for one of his dishes. But despite calling him out, all the guests agreed that Pete’s food and hospitality was top-notch.
The Cardiff-based episode, which was first broadcast last year, caused quite a stir.
One social media user took to Facebook at the time and wrote: “I love when guests get upset that the host didn’t make their own pastry. Who makes their own pastry? Shortcrust maybe, but I think using store-bought puff & fillo pastry is totally ok!”
Another added: “Competitors do make their own puff, shortcrust pastry but not filo, it is very fiddly I think.”
At the end of the show, the guests found who was the winner of the week and received a cool £1,000 prize.
Come Dine With Me airs weekdays at 6:30pm on Channel 4
