We put a lot of thought into the best way to judge. This was by far the best option. What would you suggest we do?

He has a point really, you are judging by not eating by creating a shortlist.
But food isn't just about taste.
Presentation is a huge key point. If it looks disgusting, most people won't eat it and those which do will more than likely also have a pre-conceived idea that it will taste horrible.
It's the same with complexity. You could cook fish and chips and taste great. Doesn't really show how good a cook you are though.
If you have a better idea please suggest them.

It will not be the same no matter what you do.
No, but it's still a very good test. When we post recipes in the forum. People make it from the recipe. So I think it's actually a better test for this type of situation. If it was intended for a restaurant then I would agree. It would also be good to try everyones that they cooked themselves but it just wont be possible.

Hooray, it's now a competition!
Looks good miracleboy, I take it the cabbage is in the wellington?
Yes, I used a layer of cooked cabbage covering the meat and stuffing kind of like a parcel. I just used big whole leaves, wasn't sure if it would work but it turned out well (wife liked it and she hates greens).
Do you actually have a better idea then on how to do it or are you just complaining?

It's not a scientific test, it's a fun competition, or atleast it's supposed to be.

Exactly, we could hardly go round tasting everyone's so unless he's suggesting we shouldn't have bothered, (which is what it's starting to sound like) then this is the next best thing. Some people.

As someone who's taken part I'm happy with the way it's being done. Afterall it's just a bit of fun and I had great fun doing it.

Likewise, I enjoy most things creative.

Ever heard of constructive critism?
Well, becuase of the low turn out, it seems as though this won't be a regular thing, but we shall be cooking and tasting the entries to decide a winner as soon as we can
