Gordon F***ing Ramsay
« on: May 09, 2008, 05:07:38 PM »
I see Gordon's up on his high horse again:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1940584/Gordon-Ramsay%27s-war-on-out-of-season-vegetables.html

Discontented with being a multi million pound entrepreneur, media star and ten-a-minute expletive exponent it seems he wants to be Vegetable Czar  eeek:

Maybe Gordon Brown will follow the advice of this one man committee and upgrade March Strawberries to a Class B controlled substance. But both of them should Foxtrot Oscar and stop telling people what to do

Gordon Ramsey/Gordon Brown both Scots, both living proof that Gordon is indeed a moron.  ::)

TBH the only Gordons I would vote for comes with tonic water, ice and slice but I prefer Plymouth Gin if there is an option.

True. Gordon's had some great ad campaigns in the cinema too - before the Alcohol Stasi moved in.

Back to Ramsay for a moment; I'm just trying to think how he might enforce his view and fine every Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, French, Polish, Pizza, and Pub restaurant in the country...  noooo:  Clearly off his little hostess trolley.

I imagine it's all pre-publicity for a new book / restaurant / TV series.



Here we go... I've just had a look at a menu at one of his places, and very nice they are too...

Granny Smith bavarois and there's a Mango sorbet if you don't like that.

And from elsewhere

With the reversed seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and with modern shipping methods, consumers from around the world can have relatively fresh Granny Smith apples the whole year around.

Oh sorry Gordon, it was vegetables...  ::)

And there is a new book to accompany it  ::)


I don't mind the man trying to flog his books/Tv Shows etc ... we all sell our skills best way we can. What gets on my tits is that he thinks so little of us that he imagines we can't see what he is doing. Some respect for the customers would not hurt methinks.

And on a similar theme ~ though not food related I see Cherry Bliar is saying that her Tone is secretly (well it's clearly no longer a secret) advising Gordon Brown on how to win the next election.
 rubschin: Funny but she has a new book to flog too.

Cynic? MOI?

And on a final note, in passing...

Quote
Anthony Worrall Thompson, a television chef, was also circumspect: "I trawled through his menus from Claridges and Maze and there were at least 15 items that would have warranted a fine," he said.
"The principle is right but as for fining, I think it is a bit of a nonsense – he likes to keep in the limelight."

I'm surprised to see that Torygraph readers need reminding that Anthony Wombat Tombo is a TV Chef  eeek:

Good old Wozza!

I have a lot of time for that man. He cooks well, his books are easy to follow and he takes the p*ss out of "Chefs" including himself. He speaks of Delia with barely concealed contempt, is self made and has suffered the slings and arrows of broken marriages and business failures yet still kept going and is now worth a fortune. All based on his own ability to talk and cook. All in all a "Good Egg" in my book. happy088

Thumbs up for AWT from me too. We were heading back from god knows where one evening and ended up in his pub/restaurant (The Greyhound, Rotherfield Peppard) after asking a copper parked in a layby of any pub nearby that did decent food. Cracking value, we went for the cheap and nasty menu, two courses for £12 before 8pm. The suckling pig melted in the mouth and it was the first time I'd tried butternut squash. We've been back a couple of times since, great welcome, great food, great service and nothing pretentious about the place at all
