Terry 'The Legend That Is' White made his television debut on the Channel 4 tv show, 'Come Dine With Me'. The 71 year old from Liverpool entered the show as a rank outsider and although he failed to win the contest and take home the £1,000 prize money. He did win the hearts of many across the globe. His loveable attitude and memorable quotes have made him a cult figure amongst fans. Terry who has over 40 years of cooking experience under his belt, was up against 3 other contestants in his local region of Merseyside. He chose a Cordon Bleu menu in his attempts to woo his guests. This consisted of a 4 course menu. He began with a Coquille St. Jacques starter which was then followed by a Beef Wellington With Vegetables as his main. He showed great consideration and endeavour by also creating a specially made side dish of Roasted Red Potato Salad, which catered to his one vegan guest. Terry finished off a fine cooking display with a beautiful Crepes Suzette With Black Cherries. This will always be remembered as his prize dish. Terry famously soaked the Crepes in orange flavoured liqueur, this resulted in moments of confusion and general awesomness as Terry was left baffled as to how the Crepes had turned green. 'Hang on...the liqueur is blue but it say's orange on the bottle. That's not orange..'. It was a fine display and great all round effort by Terry. As the show progressed, it was difficult not to grow to love the man. He had a kind word to say of everyone and carried himself off as a true gentleman. If we can call Terry White a chef, we must call him 'The Chef' as he has provided a passion and love of cooking that is rarely seen so openly. Terry would agree with such a statement. As although he would be hesitent in declaring himself a chef, he has an untouchable aura and confidence that is honorable. He is an inspiration to everyone and proves that age holds no boundaries. Since the show has ,a strong and steady flow of fans have voiced there admiration for the loveable character. His most notable fans come in the shape of David Ritchie, Gary Hurley and Barry Chan who have developed his very own fan club. Unfortunately there is little available knowledge on the current state and whereabouts of Terry 'The Legend That Is' White. If his single tv appearance to date is anything to go by however, he will be living it large in Hawaii with his very own eatery and range of delightfully coloured liqueurs.
