Jamie Oliver you lying twat

One pan meals. A lamb thing.

It's cooked on a tray, in the oven. He's also used a pestle and mortar.
Then he twonked the lamb joint on the oven shelf so that all the fat dripped through, on to the tray below.

Then he splatted all that on to a wooden board, and used another pot for the juices.

Ladies and gentlemen more ladies, I present to you, The Man Who Doesn't Wash Up.

I couldn’t agree more, @Emotionalsupportviper and @Sparklingbrook! I would rather have a full sugar drink, as a treat sometimes, and drink water the rest of the time, than drink low sugar drinks.

It doesn’t matter if they are made with natural sweeteners like stevia, or artificial sweeteners - they all taste horrible. I can tell at the first sip, if a drink has replaced sugar with other sweeteners.

I suffer from lymphocytic colitis and IBS, and I am careful about artificial sweeteners, because I know they can cause diarrhoea, and the last thing I want is to trigger another flare of the colitis - which is like IBS on speed - pain, bloating and horrible runs. The last flare I had ended up with me needing to take steroids, and I want to avoid that, at all costs.

30 min meals were really expensive too. There was one with crab meat that I fancied doing but when I went to buy the crab it would’ve been about 20 quid for that one ingredient.

Oh I love that 5 ingredient book - some great recipes in there….the meatball pesto sub one was worth the cost of the book we make it all the time.

But this is on the drinks manufacturers, not Jamie Oliver. They weren't forced to alter their recipes, and many soft drinks still have their original recipe and as such are subject to the extra tax. That option was available for everyone.

All I know is that something ruined Ribena, and there's very few nice squashes around these days. Aftertaste alert.

Vimto is still good

Bloody love a Vimto. I have also recently discovered Pop soda from Brewdog, it’s bloody lovely and the cola one tastes like Panda Pops! Panda Pops!!!

Tesco Apple and elderflower high juice.
it's no Tizer but it's nice.

Ooooooooh, that does sound nice. I love this thread.

I'm a big cookery show fan and ex chef. Ree Drummond just pisses me off cos it's like she is constantly bragging about her lifestyle and then she opened the 'Merc'

But I suppose you're never going to see a skint TV chef, really.

Doesn't Ree Drummond's husband's family own half of Oklahoma or something like that? I'm not jealous, because whenever she's driving over to town to buy 20kg of m&ms it really looks like the flattest most dreary place.

Here's a video of him making a lamb curry to the soundtrack of a song that he wrote himself about making lamb curry. Oh, and he sings it in a Jamaican accent for some reason.

I remember reading that the Drummonds are the 17th largest landowners in the US. And they get millions upon millions of public money each year for 'looking after' the Mustangs that get kicked off the land so that they can fatten more cattle.

It's quite the stitch up as the same families have held those contracts for generations.

The funniest thing about this is the audience looking really bewildered!!

I know, but did you see Conker's little face?

Conker probably has a better standard of living than most people in the world. Plenty of food, regular medical attention, somewhere comfy to sleep and people who are kind to him. The dog is fine.

Dogs do have an unparalleled ability to do Sad Face, and to try make people think they are never fed. If you met our two spoiled dogs, they would do their best to convince you that we are cruel, heartless people and they are half starved. They lie.

Conker may not be able to have/tolerate lamb. Some dogs have very sensitive tummies.

My friends dog was given a small piece of leftover bacon by an unknowing house guest and had diarrhoea for 3 days! Ruined her posh rug, she told me in ringing tones across the cafe

Our dogs too, I have to eat away from them as they are master manipulators. If he doesn't throw Conker gnarly lamb in TV, imagine what he's like when cameras are off light tone may have been misread

Made his one pot fish pie last night. It was fabulous. Going. to buy the book lol

That's awful

I dislike his programmes and the whole 'shiny happy people' smugness of the family and friends element of them.

But I can't knock his books and recipes. In general they're unfussy and straightforward, and don't call for ingredients that you can only find if you live in some hip part of London. When my late husband had to take ill health retirement, he worked his way through those early books to cook dinner every night, and there was never a failure.

I made his chicken and mushroom pie and not only did it come out exactly like his my family devoured it.

How much saffron went into that risotto?

Was that the one with the pork?
