get posh twats and brats off TV cooking programmes

The Great British Menu, BBC2, nowish, includes 'Tobacco Flavoured Rhubarb.'

Pretention flavoured arse.

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

Yep I like Floyd, also Rick Stein and Fearnley-Whittingstall. They manage to fill there TV programees with intersting stuff, rather than egocentric crap and you'd actually wnat to eat what they cook.

I don't like Whittingstall, but his programmes are really good; I watch them whenever they're on. Despite the fact that he's a poncey poshboy who looks like a girl, he's far more likeable than Jamie Oliver, who I really can't endure for more than 2 minutes.

Stein and Floyd are great IMO. Maybe that's just cos they're old codgers, and old codgers are

I dont like Jamie, but at least he cooks food you'd actually want to eat!
However, I would also add that Jamie is one of those chefs that liberally use expensive ingredients and parade them as everyday groceries.

May Hugh forgive me, but the food he cooks is nostly on the wrong side of adventurous.
It is fascinating to watch, but rarely do I tihnk- ooh that looks nice! And rarer still do I think- I'd make that!

Stein and Floyd are great IMO. Maybe that's just cos they're old codgers, and old codgers are

I'd agree with Stein- love his simple cooking and his books. I have 3 and use them often.
Love his shows and his food always looks melt in the mouth tasty.

Is that stewed rhubarb and custard with a fag afterwards?



I really liked Hugh Fearnley in spite of him being a posh and that.

'Cook on the Wild Side' was my favourite, it was less confirmist. He met some poachers, a ferreter, ate with new age travellers, a bloke who took him down the workingmans nr Dudley somewhere, and went foraging 'uninvited' with George Monbiot.

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.

"Check yo bad self It be Mc Rizzla flipping the Magimix, cooking up some flavaz to get your mouth watering. "

"And reprazenting in the old skool style be J-Dawg ready to baste yo turkey fo sho"

I want to see rough and tough women who swear and have local accents, hard blokes with skinheads and tattoos, and all that..

Most people would be too worried that someone like that might surreptitiously spit in the food; that thought would take all the fun out of watching the show.
