Jamie Oliver tasting his food makes me want to scream

on every bloody show, he makes a big deal of tasting whatever he's made and doing the bog sigh, the big eye roll, the shaking his fingers thing, he just makes me want to throw the telly at the wall

I do have to agree with you about the make ahead gravy pizza. It works well using beef bones too. I'm making mine tomorrow.

DancingHouse · 19/12/2017 21:12

How many pints of olive oil has he used so far?

horatioisabrick · 19/12/2017 21:22

But the whole having an orgasm over his own food is a bit much.

I’ll have to google that Blush

(I don’t think I’ve ever watched ‘Jamie’ taste his food, tbh. Brb 😉)

Originalfoogirl · 19/12/2017 21:24

This is why I hate all cooking programmes. Masterchef is the worst, close up shots of food being shovelled in to people’s mouths 🤢

And, just once, you want Jamie to taste it and say ‘oh, that’s a bit shit, don’t make that’

RestingGrinchFace · 19/12/2017 21:25

YANBU. I can't suppress the mental imagine of him doing that in bed and the woman having a WTAF look on her face.

SuburbanRhonda · 19/12/2017 21:28

oh, that’s a bit shit, don’t make that

If only!

happypoobum · 19/12/2017 21:29

I have worked in quite a few professional kitchens and it is very much the norm for the chefs to react like that to their own food Smile

SpoonfulOfJam · 19/12/2017 21:29

I've just switched on to look at his hair.... bloody adverts. At least it's not that Dior ad.

SpoonfulOfJam · 19/12/2017 21:31

Oh... wait. There it is. Awful Ad but that's a whole other thread!

maddiemookins16mum · 19/12/2017 21:36

He'd put finely chopped red chillies 'to pimp it up' in flippin porridge if he could.
Just step away from the chillies please.

EachandEveryone · 19/12/2017 21:39

Oh his Christmas food is great. I dont watch the show but do follow his recipes.

Hes a cunt and makes a whole load of mess sprinkling seasoning from a great height with his fingers. He also calls his mother 'sweetheart' ffs.

SilverySurfer · 19/12/2017 21:42

There are few things I really can't watch on tv, two of them are Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson and I will never cook any of their recipes.

Come back Delia!

maddiemookins16mum · 19/12/2017 21:43

Oh and he calls his Nan 'Tiger'.
You're not 24 anymore Jamie, it was sort of entertaining in 1997 when you lived in that great flat with the spiral stsircase but not anymore.

AethelflaedsWhiteGoose · 19/12/2017 21:45

I really like watching him, I never used to but he’s grown on me Grin. Plus he answered my question on a mn chat once.

Tinycitrus · 19/12/2017 22:24

Do you think he has had ‘work’?

horatioisabrick · 19/12/2017 22:24

I like Oliver’s recipes. They’re super easy - unlike the old cookbooks I was used to - and sticking to recipes is quite useful when you’re unusure how much / what is normal...

(I don’t think I’ve ever watched one of his cooking videos up to now... it wasn’t too bad. But I prefer following written instructions.)

student26 · 19/12/2017 22:31

It's how much oil he uses that never fails to amuse me! 'Just drizzle a bit of oil...' he must use bottles and bottles of it per episode!

MorrisZapp · 19/12/2017 22:33

Never mind the hair, why was he cooking outdoors in Nepal?

My sister did the get ahead gravy, it tasted nice. The ingredients cost twenty pounds.

I think perhaps Jamie's nan is actually called Tiger? Her nickname I mean.

'I'm off to the bingo with Janet, Betty and Tiger'?

LuluJakey1 · 19/12/2017 22:36

I find him a particularly unattractive man. Nothing about him is appealing.

RegionalTreasure · 19/12/2017 22:43

He's not a fake with regard to his accent, he speaks like most blokes from his part of North Essex. And most kids who went to his school.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 19/12/2017 22:50

I like Jamir. I think his parents owned a naice pub. Not sure that would make him middle class.
