It's a conspiracy by the supermarkets to sell stuff nobody would eat otherwise. Like cous-cous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people can't cook so they watch other people doing it. And, as Meenzer alludes to, it's replaced the property porn (to an extent anyway). I fucking hate that Jamie Oliver wannabe who does that Rude Boy Food btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41319 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It makes me laugh that these shows are so popular whilst home-cooking is on the decline! Maybe if people spent less time watching this tripe, they'd have more time to cook meals. Anyway, here's a nice pic of Ms. Lawson's decolletage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 F word and River cottage are my two favourite programs. In particular hugh fearnlry whatever he's called is a legend. River Cottage is quite relaxing, but honestly he can't cook for shit! He had some lettuce leaves on a BBQ the other day... I don't care he does potted rabbit and can carve a lamb carcass.

Monkeys Fist 41319 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I've used this in place of cous cous. Ebly website can be tricky to find, but larger Tesco's normally have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add some of the juice from the lamb when cooking the wheat, as it takes on flavours, but does need something added. as Gemmill said, cook it in stock. Enjoy.

Kitman 2204 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I can't stand Jamie Oliver, from his faux cockney patter to his oversized lispy tongue to his ceaseless sermonising about healthy food. We get him a lot here in NZ, along with overpriced Jamie Oliver kitchen gizmos that nobody buys. I recall his crusade for healthy school dinners was undermined by some ladies from Yorkshire pushing huge helpings of chips through the school fence to their chubby offspring. How I laughed as these porky kids defied his agenda to eat themselves into an early grave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like River Cottage. There is zero chance that I would ever forage in a hedgerow for salad ingredients or brew my own hooch, but it's nice to believe someone somewhere is mad enough to do it.

While I was away I started missing telly, then when I got back I realised why I used to never watch it. That Country House rescue programme is the best thing on telly by a mile...

It's arguably the best food in Europe now, iirc London has more Michelin star restaurants than Paris. We benefit from not having a very strong national cuisine and importing other countries foods. I've has some truely woeful food abroad as well as really nice stuff. As for German food, well, come on. We definitely have better baked beans: FACT.
