Cooking programmes and cookery books - Please stop

[Mick Mac]

I have had enough. Its got to stop, I'm completley bored with them all.

I got a masterchef cookery book for a Christmas present, I feigned surprise and looked pleased. I hoped for a sports autobiography at least. Please no more, I have more than enough information to cook with in the 15 books we already have.

Michel Roux's service - I mean who gives a toss about that. Masterchef every night of the week. come on.

Fashions have to end somewhere.

[Sonners]

Change the channel. America's Next Top Model is on...

Mick, three motherf***ing football threads on here. I'm sure at least as many people enjoy foodstuffs.

Stupid football. Marvellous foodstuffs. Except that grumpy old food programme last night that kept showing champagne in a martini glass and is therefore retarded.

[Brendan]

Good swearing there Rosie. I've not heard a "motherf***ing" for at least a fortnight.

[RosieH]

Thanks Brendan. I had to asterisk myself, as the forum allows it. Look: motherfucking.

Admin...

[Brendan]

Motherfucker, so it does.

[Brendan]

Well it doesn't allow motherfucker.

[RosieH]

What a cunt.

[DJKillaQueen]

Well I like both motherfucking football AND motherfucking cookery....and just for good measure I'll throw in one of these >:D< (cos I haven't ever since the trauma of realising it ain't a thumbs up)....

Also Rosie H , someone said S?millon instead of Sommelier ( freakin' pleb, you know HER ol' lemon face )

Which to some doesn't matter, though if one asked about "the-iff side rule" they'd rightly be met with snorts of derission.

( I too snorted, topped off with a lightly verbalised "huh" )

Anyway mic mac, re-gift that book, its shyte.

See that's where Mac goes wrong. Because he has 15 cookbooks, peeps think he is an aspiring masterchef. I think anything above 5 is just asking for trouble :).

[RosieH]

Just counted. I have 32 (and I'm namechecked in one of them, hurrah). But if anyone bought me the Masterchef cookbook, I'd be cross.

[Annette Curtain]

Ooooo actually mic mac, please list all of your cookbooks.

We'll give you a "room 101" style, binner or winner vote.

I personally hate the Heston Bumenthal "Family Food" book which I have. ( gift ) It takes 6 whole pages to make baked beans, I love beans but jesus.h.christ SIX pages.

Oh & lastly, he's got hair on in the jolly o' family cooking together pictures, again plain wrong, wrong, wrong.

Harrump...(6)Nette.

[DJKillaQueen]

Wow...32. I think I have nine and one is signed by Rustie Lee......no masterchef book is worthy amongst such classics as the 1970's woman's own cookbook :)) (it has everything in it!). I do bregrudgingly have the first Jamie Oliver. My favourite atm is Rachel Allen's home cooking though.

[Narnia]

Now if you had this Mick you'd be allright!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DJKQ, no.

Rachel Allen doesn't touch her meat. I've seen it on the telly. She prods it with 3 foot long tongs. If you don't like food woman, don't fucking tell me how to cook it (that's Rachel Allen incidentally, not you DJKQ).

If posters were TV chefs.....I've definitely got Rosie down as Fanny Craddock with Mick Mac as her husband.

Jah = Floyd

[Brendan]

Narnia's link is funny because Irish people eat potatoes.

[Narnia]

Well spotted Brendan. Bit obvious really.

You've obviously not pounded the mean streets of Peckham recently, innit.

Arf! Yes, you're probably not far from the truth there.

As for Mac. There is an off button, or does the wife commandeer that?

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmmm.....why is prodding meat with tongs a bad thing? Surely just checking to make sure it really is dead?

Her fish pie recipe is to die for though. Does she prod the fish in the same way?
