......or should that be 'jus be grateful'?

:-D

and if I hear anyone else say whether or not something suits their 'palette'....... :-|

Just get it down your neck and be grateful!!!! :-| :-| :-|

Jus indeed!

That's another thing that makes me laugh.

Where else would you fry anything other than in a pan?

What about Jus. What ever happened to good old fashioned gravy?

I'm glad I didn't see it Prickles.

Deconstructed my rump! Don't get me started on pan fried and oven baked either!

I actually saw that programme IGP.

The Great British Menu

:-)

Most chicken is full of salmonella which is why it isn't a good idea to eat it pink.

Whilst I don't mind a medium steak, provided it is a top quality cut that is, I refuse to eat anything that is still mooing, clucking, quacking, baaing or still swimming.

It's not just the chefs who have over inflated egos either. The judges on progs such as The Great British Menu are just as bad. Especially the likes of Oliver Peyton and Mathew Fort who wouldn't know a decent meal if they fell over it.. Their replacement is long long overdue.

I remember seeing a program where they were trying to cook dishes based on the wartime and had a member of the public to judge too. This chap had made a "deconstructed pudding" and Peyton was marvelling how brilliant it was. The old dear who could just remember the war days say it was a complete load of rubbish and wouldn't even pass for mashed up baby food.....!

I would rather eat my own pants in a sandwich.

:-D

Nothing more boring than watching some twerp with an over inflated ego dictating what and how everyone else should eat.

What's happened to that Austin Bloomingtwat? Has he eaten too much corn plaster and pond weed soup?

Totally agree with the undercooked meat comments also I can't believe it when they call for a pinch of salt and put in about a week's worth as far as I'm concerned.

I will be sending that back too Polly......along with the smoked salmon.

:-S

Also mentioned several times on a certain Saturday Morning tv cookery programme. It's now acceptable to eat undercooked pork. A definite no no in my house. My mother swore it would cause you to have worms. :-S

If someone at my table ordered a blue steak.......i would have to go and sit at another table.

:-D

I agree :-D :-D :-D

I am curious to know......how come you can eat Duck when it's still quacking...but not Chicken when it's still clucking?

:-S

Ha ha ha! Almost word for word the same as I hear from my OH when ever we watch a cookery programme. He's actually slowly going off meat as a result.
:-D :-D

It does make me laugh on these cookery programmes when you hear the Chef say.....

"Cooked to perfection" when referring to Beef, Lamb or Duck which is served pink.

Cooked to perfection say's who??

After serving up a blue steak at one of his restaurants, a top Chef said that he would be highly offended if anyone sent his food back.

Well, If he served me something that was still mooing, bleeting, quacking or anything that a good vet could bring back to life.......he can be as offended as he likes cos oi ain't eating it!!!

No Siree!!
