****! Cant believe forgot that, I was watching it last night. lol.

So, are we all agreed that British TV is, in fact, awesome and Nickolai is talking out of his arse?

Hey, it's not like I can pick and choose, my only exposure to the stuff was the crap the esteemed Mr. Murdoch saw fit to bombard us with several years ago on Star World. 8-}

I saw Little Britain, eh. I'm not gay, so Absolutely Fabulous, PASS.

Oh wait, there's another show I liked, Kumars at Number ~something~.

Kumas at Number 10.

Which was aweful. Most if not all of the cast of that were in Goodness Greatious Me, which was an excelent sketch show.

Especilyl their 'Going for an English' sketch.

You know who I like? Gordon Ramsay. Whether its Kitchen Nightmares, The F Word, or Hell's Kitchen the guy is just awesome. Everyone goes around saying he's this gigantic asshole and you know what? He has a damn good reason to be on those shows. The people he works with are **** morons!!

The first one was too Americanised, the second one had French crap in it.

BANANAS IN PAJAMAS ARE COMING DOWN THE STAIRS!!!

We're talking British shows not Australian.

Though the only thing I have against Bananas in Pyjamas is the fact they took a great nursery rhyme about homicidal Teddy Bear hunting Bananas wearing Pyjamas and turned them into nice guys. :-(

I've been to Clarrages (Ramsays 4-star restaurant in London), cost £130 for a meal for 2 but by god it was amazing. Seriously, that guy has earned his right to be that arrogant, he IS that good.

And Ramsay is so much better than Jamie 'Irritating Essex Twat' Oliver.

by **neliz** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:29 am

oi, Jamie went through some kind of caveman regression and even his country style feels overwhelming marketing inspired. Nothing better than an alcohol addicted chef.

I .. know this because my wife needs to watch every cooking show on TV. yes... this includes Ready, Steady, Cook.

Brit chefs, eh? For food - Fergus "Give me MOAR bone marrow and give it to me NAO" Henderson. For everything else - Nigella "I can't tell you what I would do with Nigella because there are minors on this site" Lawson.

I'd firstly like to say, I absolutly dispise any form food programs, they either treat us like idiots, or tell us about foods that only really skilled chefs can make,and that I almost cirtainly dont like.

Anyway.

That said, all those chefs you mentioned. Lightweight.

There is only one heavyweight in the field of truly aweinspiringly aweful tv chefs.

His name?

Ainsley.

That man annoys me more than the combined powers of annoyence of Shujjah, the spaz twins, Burn (at that time of the month), work and GW Bush....

Maybe if he could just, you know, not smile. Just once. I might not want to kill him to death.

Bad TV = AFN commercial substitutes.

Would try to come up with something better, but too tired.

I actually watch cookery shows quite a bit, I have to admit. I'm a bit of an amateur chef, you see. Georgio Locatelli probably has the best one on the teevee but it's not on often. Him aside, I'd say Jamie Oliver's probably the one worth watching the most. I genuinely don't hate him, like a lot of people do, and his cookery's pretty interesting.
That said, the one thing I hate the most in all the world is probably Michelin Star-style cooking. Presentation is an afterthought, it's not meant to be more important than the taste. Also, God damn all you Brits, meat should ALWAYS be well done, not rare. There's a reason they say "well done". Any other way and it's not done well.

Exactly! well done!

you guys have no taste, nothing screams MAGGGGGGGGGOTS! more than Steak Tartare.

Heck, we're even more fond of raw fish (And meat) than the japanese

Definitely #4, probably #1 & 3 as well, but only if they dont need to chew.

An expensive steak should be served blue as it more tender, the juices are much higher in iron and - more importantly - it tastes so much nice! If there isn't any blood left on the plate after the first slice, it goes back to the chef (overcooked steak tastes of rubber).

Serve with a peppered dressing and a large bottle of Merlot.

=P~

What was so special about this mission? Well, with 1:00 or thereabouts to go, neliz was the only one in it.

The rareness of a steak is in direct proportion to the quality of the meat. The only exception to this is Wagyu, which is a horrible waste of such an expensive cut to tartare or carpaccio.

by **Shadowblade_DW** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:59 am

A good steak is a matter of mood and sight, if it looks tasty in the pan or on the grill, it is done. This includes the full spectrum from flame kissed to leather patty. Nobody can tell the truth of meat unless they cook it themselves.
