I’ve just watched Mary Berry make crouque monsieur and at the start I was like pfftt, it’s just cheese on toast AND she’s fucking it up but then, as it moved on through the process, I was hmmm this looks like it’s going to be a real good cheese and ham toastie, I must pull out the toastie machine but then at around the time she’s putting the béchamel and final sprinkling of gruyere over - just prior to the finishing toast - I’m pulling out a pen and pad and comprising my shopping list for tomorrow. The thing looked ludicrous.
Crouque monsieur is a boss sandwich, but can’t stand watching Mary Berry. I’m convinced she smells bad, like death zombie bad. Probably masks it with talcum powder. Don’t want her necrotic fingers anywhere near my food.
