potato GIF

Is it just me or is John Torode being at best pompous or at worst controlling having thrown out wife Lisa Faulkner's heirloom potato masher having deemed it unnecessary as he uses a for and that is the only way to mash potato according to him

Or, perhaps, it's a bit of telly hyperbole.

Squeebynana · 13/10/2024 19:13

Maybe but I think Lisa's right to use a potato masher is hers to decide.Does John think it's his way or the highway.( or in this case his way or the trash

I’d definitely LTB and go NC.

Well we all know a ricer is the only way to mash spuds.

I like John and Lisa, I think he adores her and he is punching. No right to chuck her masher though.

SnowFrogJelly · 13/10/2024 19:18

How very dare he!

Squeebynana · 13/10/2024 19:20

He is deffo punching but that aside he has no right to sat his ideas on preparing food are the only way.ASs his wife Lisa should tell him to return the masher and but out...or cook his own mashed potatoes

NC?

lifeisforlaying · 03/12/2024 12:53

I only watched his programme with his wife once and turned off due to his attitude towards her of complete dismissal and coldness. I think he's a prick.

TotallyTwisted · 03/12/2024 12:54

If he was a nice man he wouldn't have been married three times...

Summerhillsquare · 03/12/2024 13:42

Is that you Gregggg?!

Lalgarh · 03/12/2024 13:51

He's been married 4 times

OnTheBounce · 03/12/2024 13:53

I see Gregg's online damage limitation exercise has pivoted.

Middle class mashers of a certain age have no place in the kitchen.

Lalgarh · 03/12/2024 14:42

ssd · 03/12/2024 14:07

Wow

The last 2 of whom he met via Twitter

RafaistheKingofClay · 03/12/2024 14:53

He’s only been married twice hasn’t he? I think people are confusing him with Ggreggg who has been married 4 times.

Lalgarh · 12/07/2025 12:00

New series of John and Lisa's Slightly Uncomfortable if you know too much Weekends just started

PollyBell · 12/07/2025 12:08

Not sure what is worse potato masher gate or thinking they know somomes marriage but what is shown on tv or written about bit he is man the fact he breathes at all makes him evil

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 12/07/2025 12:15

He’s a horrible leathery creep

MyDadWasAnArse · 15/07/2025 18:15

And now he's got the sack.

nomas · 15/07/2025 19:17

Fucking hell! A family show led by a racist and a sexist!

The BBC has known all this for years (anlimg with the production company) and did nothing. Fuckers!

WonderingWanda · 15/07/2025 19:35

I nicknamed him John the Toad ages ago. My impression of him has always been that he is egotistical, no idea what she sees in him.

ssd · 15/07/2025 21:27

I bet John and Lisa split soon

SnowFrogJelly · 16/07/2025 00:02

No they won’t split it’s real lurrrve
