for the following reasons.#

none of them speak clearly

theyuse twattishprases liek 'de-glazing' 'sweating'and' jus' which are made up and bollocks.

they do wanky things like putting their fces too close to the roasting try while they sprinkle on herbs

and they tap the chopping boqard with their knives before chopping stuff.

fucking stupid twatty wanky bollocks.

I'll raise you: living salad and micro leaves
I do love cooking and food though...

heheh @ "faces too close to the pan" This reminds me of when DP is grinding the pepper grinder into the pan from a great height with his arms out ant right angles either side of him like wings. Apparently 'it gives a more even distribution of pepper'. Righto Hmm

I am shocked and saddened to hear that you do not serve your family 'Pan-fried cod in an artisan breadcrumb crust, with a tomato jus'

Faux Pas alert! You forgot the thrice hand fried pommes frites wrapped only in Hello magazines.

I like my food well cooked not fingered every possible second like on celeb chef and dished up raw 99% most of the time, and if there is a slight burn mark they call it overcooked.Quite agree the words Jus,Sweat,Caramelise should be banned and when herbs are sprinkled on they should be put in a sprinkler of some kind and a great big lever should be pulled which drops them to remove any personal involvement. Don't get me wrong i do like fine dining its just these guys think its some kind of Rocket science.

Jus is meat drippings with wine added, a gravy without thickening agent.

SinicalSal · 19/11/2011 11:39

My DS calls Bisto 'jus' outta nowhere

I sweat my onions!

GwendolineMaryLacey · 19/11/2011 12:37

Pan fried fucks me right off. What the fuck else do you fry things in?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/11/2011 16:37

Pan-fried as opposed to deep-fried, perhaps?

When reading the OP I had the image of Marco Pierre White. So on that basis YANBU. Grin

Listzilla and BarkisWillin - I noticed that too - hence my name Grin

Tee2072 · 19/11/2011 16:58

Yes, pan fry as opposed to deep fry. They are different things.

Poncy chefs dont bother me

UNTIL

they come over all self declared "nutritionist"

You cook fellas....get a nutrition degree if you are going to enter that realm

NormanTebbit · 19/11/2011 17:07

I hate the way they 'fry things off' 'sweat things off' everything off.

I hate the way Gary whatsisface 'quite literally pours the double cream over the actual 14 pounds of butter.

I hate the way Hugh fearnley whatsisname seems the think we all live in some idyllic country village, pickling and preserving for the summer fete, ditto Nigel Slater.

The ones I hate the most though are the 'larger than lifecharacters like that dreadful Italian one or the ones that make awful jokes.

Gordon Ramsey. What can I say.

NormanTebbit · 19/11/2011 17:09

And all the while the pasty-faced nation is sat on its collective arse shovelling Pringles.

Whatmeworry · 19/11/2011 17:10

There was a comedy series called Posh Nosh on TV a while back that had a number of sketches of a cookery program couple, taking the piss out of poncy chef shows where they used totally malappropriate words.

Tee2072 · 19/11/2011 17:11

I will say I can't stand Nigel Slater. 'Just step into your garden and grab a chicken for slaughter, then serve it with your home grown potatoes and peas.' Hmm

laptopdancer · 19/11/2011 17:18

As much as I dont like the poncey talk, I hate the rough "chuck in a whackful of this" and "a good glug of that" style if jamie oliver.
