Jamie Oliver you lying twat

[TheSpottedZebra]

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.

On the other side, I know a fan who sent him an email, and he replied!

It made her year.

I didnt realise he was responsible for the ruination of Ribena.

He didn't go to a 'posh' school. Where do you read such nonsense

@FallOutPloy Snap. Dh uses a pan for sauce, a pan for the pasta (fair enough) and the frying pan.

When I do it it’s much quicker and he’s suspicious about that.

I remember the late Gary Rhodes making (iirc) a Christmas dinner once. It was, of course, made up of several different elements and as per normal for a cookery show, all measured and in bowls/cups in front of him. He would make the thing and then say "and it really is as simple as that" ....before moving on to the next thing.(which was also allegedly as simple as that) I remember thinking "but the cooking part is only half of it" its as simple as that when you're not weighing and measuring the ingredients, and clearing and washing up afterwards, but of course all that would be very boring to watch and we'd all be sitting there shouting "'I know how to peel a carrot, you don't have to show me that!!" 🤣

Obviously the old fashioned approach complete with a stamped addressed envelope was not the way to go about it. But every time I see his face on the TV I think of it, and switch it off.
In better news Jeremy Clarkson got back to him so that was way better in the end!

Why the need to be so bitchy? His ‘fat tongue’? His kids ‘stuffing their privileged little faces’ None of his children seem to be overweight and why wouldn’t they eat the food he made?

Meh - probably makes people feel better moaning about something.

We watched the programme last night and really enjoyed it. I like his enthusiasm for cooking - may the good Lord of Mumsnet forgive me. The fish pie looked amazing.

I like Jamie a lot - especially for his school dinner campaigns. But yeah, he came off as embarrassingly out of touch with the £££ lamb. Plus that pie containing both salmon and giant prawns in the same meal! Was all sponsored by Waitrose so no surprises there but didn't make for great optics as the Americans say!!

I watched and criticised but I still might try the pasta and the fish pie ...but putting some paprika in from a sensible distance away - maybe with a teaspoon (I can cope with washing up a teaspoon!) And squeezing the lemon from a reasonable height!🤣
I'm not convinced about the lamb on the oven shelf, I don't think I can be dealing with that level of mess in the oven, and I didn't like all the ingredients. It looked nice though

You probably shouldn't have invited him then, now should you???

😆😆😆

Haha this thread is gold

My oven has a tray especially for this sort of lamb on the shelf abomination thing!! who does this!? Monsters

I quite like cookery programmes but usually have complaints about most of them!

• Hardly any of them wash or even wipe their hands after handing raw meat/fish/eggs ...and then go on to open the oven, or pick up another ingredient.
• putting stuff (or taking out) of an oven that is blatantly not hot
• putting their finger in to taste something, or tasting with a spoon and putting it back in
• the 2 fat ladies keep all their rings on when they're making pastry/mince etc with their hands
• Paul Hollywood on GBBO really aggressively pokes his fingers into any cake/pie etc!
• female cookery presenters wearing long loose hair

And DH pet hate - not rolling sleeves up/having short sleeves when cooking. Tom Allen wore a suit on celebrity bake off!!😳

I got his 30 minute meals ages ago…the ‘30 minute quick meal’ was always an epic Saturday night hours long cooking extravaganza for a special occasion, and wouldn’t be able to do them now I have kids 😂. However, there are a couple of dishes in ministry of food that are doable midweek

!

Oh my god, uncle roger is my new favourite. He should narrate all cooking shows

I saw Turkey twizzlers in a shop the other week, can't remember which one though

It’s his filthy fingernails that shit me to tears

Is that you Jamie?

Actually convinced now the TV regulator should insist in real time preparation and washing up personally by the celebrity chef with comments from their DP 'first time you've ever washed up' to make the programmes realistic and avoid legitimate cheficide.

Was Jamie Oliver the chef who went to a port in Italy at night time and offered free food to a bunch of Italian men on the drink who looked at the food and refused to eat it as the 'fusion' ill-conceived hotch-potch of herbs and flavours wouldn't work. Was impressed it made the final edit and by their judgment compared with drunk UK men. Then again, I wondered why a curry made by Nigella with industrial quantities of cumin and few other flavours was consumed by her TV 'friends' - perhaps they'd all been having affairs with her DP and realised it was justifiable palate homicide.

I don't mind Jamie and quite liked the show last night, I just wish he would stop using that stupid word "gnarly" all the time. It follows all the other buzz words he's used over the years i.e. "beautiful" for everything, "pukka", "kiss of olive oil".

I'd give the lamb a miss though, the price of a leg of lamb that size would bankrupt me for the rest of the month plus I have a brand new oven that I would not want all the mess that would follow roasting it on a rack.

It looked nice though

There’s some pretty unpleasant personal comments on here that I’m sure would be removed if JO was a woman as they ‘aren’t in the spirit’ etc. But anyway...

I’ve never been a massive fan of his, but did like the 5 ingredients book. I have a fussy eater in my house, and it simplified a lot of dinners. I enjoyed his lockdown cookery programme, filmed on his phone. We use quite a few of his recipes. I don’t find him as irritating as Nigella or Nigel Slater (he’s no Hairy Biker, mind) but I can’t really forgive him for that programme he did with his mobile pub called the ‘Cock in Cider’, which I thought was truly horrible.

Jamie Oliver is okay - I don’t feel terribly strongly about him. I once stayed in his parents’ B&B in Essex. His dad really looks like him.

My husband used to do the 30 mins review and would challenge himself to beat the 30 mins. I ended up saying that the food was lovely but it wasn’t worth the washing up. In fairness, pretty much all cheffy cooking uses a lot of pans.

Going against the grain here but I'm a veggie so have no experience of cooking lamb...but so many of JO's veggie recipes are brilliant (his lentil/mushroom bolognese sauce, and his Vietnamese tofu noodles). Pretty straightforward yet different and delicious.

I agree his veggie recipes are good. His broccoli minestrone and his broccoli risotto are two of my favourites.
