Loathesome, odious, pompous.
I remember when he had an estuary accent too!

My mam always said....good food doesn't need to be 'tarted up' *runs*
Rabbit bolognase that takes 12 hours to cook though?
An insistence that home made pasta is better than shop made. ( Have you ever made pasta - takes forever and is hardly simple!)
Nope - not convinced. Delia still rocks
Who the hell makes rabbit bolognaise? 
I watched Nigel Slater tonight ... love him
Mind you ... I love any TV cookery programme

Gotta agree, Delia is the queen of cooking
I've made her Creole cake again this year, I think my family would leave home if I didn't

I don't mind either of them.
My problem with Jamie is that mouth of his. I couldn't eat his food because I'm sure he spits when he talks....
He does lisp quite obviously but in RL it's not quite so apparent - if that makes sense? 
But having been fed and watered by the fella himself I can honestly say that he serves up some good grub; it looks exactly like he serves up on the tellybox. Can't stand his chain of restaurants mind you, but that's a different matter altogether.
Oh God... i've put my foot in it, haven't I? 
It's not his lisp I was meaning though.. it's the lips.. they're all fleshy and loose looking and I can imagine he'd be a slobbery snogger. (Now if you deny that, you're in serious trouble!)

HE does
I've never tried Nigella's recipes... I always find myself going to Delia Smith's website if I want to cook anything nice.
Jamie Oliver I quite like, but he has almost become a parody of himself... he was talking of cooking Christmas food "with attitude" recently

Madam, I can assure you that there was no snoggery going on so I cannot pass any further comment 
But yeah, I get the wubbery lip thing.
I like 'em all
However, atm, I'm loving the Hairy Bikers most of all...soooo funny

I know, it's like the xmas cake ingredients they're selling pre-weighed out in a box... which you still need to add fresh ingredients to from your own cupboards, like butter and eggs. What is the point, either make the whole thing or buy a damn cake
