"It should punch you round the face, with a little kiss after", oh you reckon, Jamie Oliver?

"It should punch you round the face, with a little kiss after"

Jamie Oliver's BBQ sauce recipe.

Fuck off Jamie.

YankTee

Nope, not looking for it all the time either.

OP Do you really think that Jamie Oliver was implying that it is ok to punch his wife in the face and then kiss her better?

The OP has said she is a DV victim and she didn't like the phrase. I think it's wrong to start cross-examining her...

Thanks Katie i haven't seen it, and think i might avoid it now.

Just because he said something that was taken out of context?

It's a fucking stupid turn of phrase but JO is an utter cock, so no big surprise.

Kittyfane I think Jamie Oliver - or whoever wrote the script - thought he/they were being edgy, contraversial.

Like all the Rihanna - Chris Brown stuff.

Giving DV an 'edge'.

Like the previous poster pointed out how Jamie habitually says 'pimp your salad' as it's become normal parlance. Nice edgy imagery eh?

Why is it 'professionally offended' to comment on an unfortunate turn of phrase.

No, I won't be boycotting or staging a protest, but it is OK to say, 'here, Jamie. That was not good imagery'.

Particularly in a week where DV has been highlighted in the press, and the seriousness of it emphasised. I read this week that in some areas of the country, one in five police call outs is to a scene of DV. One in five.

peas As I said, I am no stranger to DV. I am not offended. OP is offended. Are we not allowed to question why when she has asked AIBU?

YABU

Sorry, I forgot to put that.

OP : Giving DV an 'edge'.
He was talking about FOOD.

I doubt Rihanna thought she'd give chris brown an edge when her face was battered. I would of thought having said you'd been in a DV sit you would have sympathy for the poor girl.

The OP has been called 'professionally offended', a sheep, and has been told that threads like this are the reason women are called 'highly strung' and 'over emotional'.

It upset her and she wanted to discuss this with others. It would be good if we could do this without calling her names.

Tbh KittyFane1 you seem intent on doing more that simply questioning her. You've made your point several times loud and clear. There's no need for and suchlike on something as sensitive as dv. You should know better than most that people have different responses and triggers to their experience.

Bloody hell, this thread is depressing. I fail to see how you can equate what he said in ralation to FOOD to domestic violence. Sometimes people just look for things to be offended by.

Oh for FFs.
It was a bit of pretentious chef speak, which is suddenly being taken out of context and suddenly we have Jamie Oliver supporting DV?
I agree with KittyFane1.
And I despair.

Ineeda - I have colossal sympathy for Rihanna. I get the feeling her life isn't in her own control.

peas: you seem intent on doing more that simply questioning her
Please quote me.

I find it ridiculous and I have explained why.

buy one of his books '15 mins meals' my arse ,

I really don't see how you can say one minute she's giving DV an edge and the next you have sympathy for her am leaving this thread now, to close to the bone for me.

Nobody is saying he's supporting dv.
The most anybody has said is that it's an unfortunate turn of phrase.
Why do people have to exaggerate in order to further their arguments?

Those of you who have said it has "domestic violence connatations" are you implying Jamie was thinking about DV when he said it?

I suspect he was engrossed it what he was doing and was just being enthusiastic about the food.

It is totally ok to say that you don't agree with the poster without ridiculing her emotional reaction to the phrase that Jamie used.

It may not be triggering for everyone, but the OP was upset by it.

If you don't agree, then how about, 'I am sorry you were upset by this, but I think that your personal experiences are clouding how you see this', rather than 'OMG woman, get a grip'.
