People who look like potatoes

[dulwichmum]

Do you not think that he looks remarkably like a Maris Piper?

Oh I can't insert the damn image. I have the hangover from hell today. I went to the filming of that BBC chef thingy last night at The Rosendale and had a fairy sized portion of carpaccio starter and two bottles of wine in three hours. We left in case we descended into a diabetic coma or drunken stupor.

I think comparing James Nesbit to a potato is dreadfully insulting to potatoes who cannot defend themselves. Potatoes do not sweat profusely which Mr Nesbit does, and potatoes taste nice, which somehow I feel that Mr Nesbit wouldn't.

[dulwichmum]

Oh Cassius darling, thank you for supporting me, especially as I am so very fragile today.

I would like to apologise to the noble potato for my insult.

DM - my pleasure - (off topic would you recommend the BBC chef thing - I think they mentioned that vegetarian options may be available another time)

[dulwichmum]

Well to be honest, I would not recommend it at all. I adore fine dining, but it felt like the intention wass never really to feed the audience - simply to get them drunk and loosen their tongues enough to make good TV. They were practically sitting in people's laps to film them. Everyone was very nice, but in three hours we got the tiniest slices of French stick, lots of vino, and a tiny starter. I was considering eating my handbag...

Well I've been reading this thread and it's turned out to be quite amusing but in the arse end of my natural soul I've been fighting with a feeling that as much as they try they'll never make the grade. Ms T came very close but then the trail went cold. I think you'll all agree that there can only ever be one Mr potatohead whose name will be echoed through the passage of time. Ladies and gentlemen will you join me in greeting the one, I give you..............

DM - was the booze free then? Who were your celeb chefs? (Sorry realise I have gone a bit off topic).

William Hague looks vaguely potatoey.

[HonaloochieB]

I think BBW has clinched this one.

Could anyone be more of a spud?

[*Bob*]

If you look closely, you can just make out..

[HonaloochieB]

Of course *Bob*, of course 'Mushy' Piers.

Outstanding work.

[bigbadwolf]

Yeah, *Bobs* gone and done it again. I'll get my coat.

It wasn't free, but the wine list they distributed was not the usual one. A lot of the wine on it came in at around the ?15 mark and was cheap, jammy, high alcohol plonk. I went straight from work and had no lunch or breakfast so I was weak with hunger, as was my darling man (despite the fact that he had probably eaten his own body weight for lunch). I wouldn't go to something like that again, because I must admit that despite the fact I love fine dining, this felt as though it was not about the food at all. It was a nice offer to place the invitation on the forum, but I think it was about getting people drunk and leaving them starving (you couldn't even buy bar snacks) and hoping that they would say things that could make good TV.

They had warned that there could be a wait for the food (to be fair), but three hours from 6.45, and only a starter with no possibility of anything else to snack on, mid-week when people were clearly coming straight from work, was just dreadful. I am still not the better of that. I doubt any of the diners managed to stay sober.

Extra points for including a person who looks like a mop.

Beauty is only skin deep char char, he is a bit caricature thou'.

[HonaloochieB]

What's wrong with Seargo exactly? Fine figure of a man if you ask me.

[HonaloochieB]

Actually now I think of it Jabba The Hutt might just be a bit more spud-like than even Piers Morgan.

Though he's probably a better writer.
