I like her gammon cooked in coke.

I have nothing against cows.

When you apply 'bovine' to a female, then I have a problem as it is a derogatory term.

So Nigella reminds you of a cow.

Really?

I can't quite make out any cow like features....

I love the bovine put down, stored for future use ha! Although have to say have Nigella Express and it's pretty good. Know what you mean about thinking she is seductive it's just her selling point and she is sexy but plays on it way too much esp as it is mostly women buying books. She is terribly posh!! Who was her dad? sorry if already mentioned

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/10/2010 23:35

Blimey this is all a bit unnecessary isn't it?

Patronising?? you were only being asked a question.

Were you bored jtop and wanted a bunfight? There's a really strange atmosphere about MN recently - "new" posters seemingly jumping in and being deliberately antagonistic.

Strange........

Although I suppose I don't have to contribute in a thread like you don't have to watch the program.

hugh forgodssake whitenstalkey whatever his name is is worse.

That program he made antagonisingand belittling that poor woman into buying darling organic chicken made my blood boil

poshsinglemum · 02/10/2010 23:39

yabu- she's a good role model imo. she is sexy and sha has a great way with words. Women with curves who eat are to be encouraged imo.

jtop · 02/10/2010 23:40

I dont watch her programme, or least not for more than 5 mins I probably would cos I like cookery programmes but my point is I find her manner very off putting and irritating. Sorry to all you Nigella worshippers !

Stop talking about pancakes please Blush

Valpollicella · 02/10/2010 23:43

Well, then fine, jtop.

No need to feed your attention seeking by posting derogatory comments about another woman.

Why bother posting this thread if you dislike her so much?

Why call her bovine? A derogatory term?

Ya doth protest too much

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/10/2010 23:44

I hope it is a very curvy annd well-bred candle.

jtop · 02/10/2010 23:44

Hedge, I think his name is Huge Furry Knittingwool. And I agree with Belle, he has done a lot for chickens. I liked the fact that he got so upset about the ones being kept in sheds.

fuschiagroan · 02/10/2010 23:44

I assume bovine meaning gormless. She does put on a gormless attitude, with all the sexing, but I suspect she is in fact not gormless...

gormless. I like that word.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 02/10/2010 23:44

thank you jtop.

Bovine?! FFS

She knows all too well how she is perceived and is completely sending herself up. That's her USP.

And yes, her recipes are a bit hit and miss, but I love her philosophy of if it's nice, scoff it, and fuck the waistline - she is quite a role model.
