get posh twats and brats off TV cooking programmes

[Wolveryeti]

I think they should make a cooking programme with a slant on ready steady cook in which they admit ravenous amphetamine dosed wolves into a house at the same time as the celebrity chefs are cooking and whoever makes the most serviceable trifle by the end of 30 minutes wins.

You haven't seen that one on Saturday mornings then - Take On The Takeaway?

Basic concept is they go round someone's house where they only ever order takeaway food and send a TV chef to prove you can do a better, quicker, and cheaper job by making the food yourself by going down the supermarket.

They send a bloke on a bike to collect the equivalent takeaway dinner and do a taste test at the end. Not always a guaranteed winner for the TV chef mind.

Yep, they had that twat Harriot cooking rice and peas and jerk chicken against one of the local takeaways to me at work.

Of all of the black people in the county, could they find someone more representative than this effete rugby playing goon with the double entendres? Nothing's worse than having to listen to him putting on his extra camp Lilt Lady caribbean accent. Christ, I'm not asking for cooking at home with the Crips and Bloods, but there's got to be some middle ground somewhere.

Well, as has already been mentioned Get Stuffed was that programme. In the days when I had a TV and video, someone gave me a compilation tape of Get Stuffed...I think it used to be on in the wee small hours. I got my best onion Bhajee recipe off that.

Was it on 4later? Back when Channel 4 used to be good?

I've seen that - it's alright actually.

Innit!

But imagine a cooking show called Ganster Gourmet, in which Yardies compete to cook up the baddest meal. Whoever loses gets shot up, and the winner gets a new gun, a big gold chain and a BMW?

Or how about Champion Chef Clash, where two MC-turned-chefs battle it out on the dancefloor, boasting about how their cookery is the champion cookery, that they're gonna kill eachother's cookery, that you better not try and test their cookery etc. etc.

Or Dagenham Dinners where two teams of residents of the East London Reich attempt to identify unusual vegetables like carrots and onions and a challenge to make a meal that doesn't involve either chips or pot noodle.

I'd laugh except Westwood is probably pitching this to ITV2 as we speak...

Sadly you are probably right.

I have the same feelings about property programs. they always seem to have people looking for posh flats or houses in the countryside & they always some working couple with a huge budgets of £300 k +.

I wanna see someone after £90,000 bedsit for once.

[Herbsman.]

Grrr

 

[Fruitloop]

Ramsey's not posh.

 

[tarannau]

Yep, he's a fucking typical Glasweigan with that accent isn't he?

 

[selamlar]

Grrr

Is that that fucking woman off 'Meals in Spain', or whatever it is called?

Was back in the UK for all of 4 days last week, and she managed to irritate me so much I had to turn the TV off and go for a calming walk.

A chamois is not a fucking goat!!!!

Might not have been a chamois, as it goes, but dear fucking god was she irritating. And those sardines were nothing even resembling fresh.

 

[selamlar]

Oh dear god, it is. She's only called Thomasina, and her sister is called Talulah.

We will have to agree to disagree about Tommi Miers, she can share the sleeping bag in my tent anytime. (I also love all of the TV programs she has done so far.)

 

[AnnaKarpik]

I get pissed off with every recipe having about 358458 ingredients, many 'available from your local Middle Eastern supermarket'. Can't get fucking carrots in Spar, let alone Harissa paste.

This.

Cos we can all drive 60 miles after work to pick up stuff from there, can't we

Yeah. Basic vegetables only at my local Morrisons!

Long time since he lived in Glasgow I reckon. I've been in the UK a shorter time and you can hardly tell where I'm from anymore.

Thomasina. Says it all, really.

Thomasina. Says it all, really.

I find it very sad that someone can be judged just because of their name.

It is mocking the afflicted. The poor lass can't have had a happy childhood if she had to live with the sort of people that would call their daughter 'Thomasina.' Hasn't she already had enough to deal with?

 

[Herbsman.]

But to be fair it's the kind of name you just want to kill in the eye

I can't see what is wrong with the name, especially when she is such a very shaggable lady.

I didn't judge her based just upon her name. She irritated the fuck out of me, THEN I found out she was called Thomasina. Which just added to my judgement.

She can irritate me anytime she likes:-

 

[Herbsman.]

Yuck.

She's like a little child

 

[tarannau]

She's so immensely patronising and gushingly complimentary about her own fucking cooking that she makes me want to throw things at the telly.

Her food in Wahaca is shit too - often greasy, too bland and over anglicised. Technically competent, but emptily inoffensive and more than a little dull. Much like her on tv to be fair.

Which begs the fucking question . Why o why?

 

[krow]

I like the current crop of chefs. Keith Floyd I like too, I like his unpretentious presentation, it makes me want to EAT.

She's obviously a cat.
