To be concerned about Jamie Oliver's kitchen

I love Jamie. Wont hear a word against him

But I grow more and more 'concerned' (I like this word more and more these days, everyone has 'concerns' about something and this is mine) about his kitchen and his handling

Poor Jamie does not seem to have many bowls and spoons

He mashes up things on a wooden board with his hands

He scrunches things with his hands, no spoon available

He chops and bashes things with the wrong implements, like the bottom of a glass or something

Tonight he mashed potato on a chopping board and now scrunching up mince potato and carrot with his hands.

Then with his mincey hands he moves the bowl, touches this, touches that. No tea towels either.

Here he goes again right now, layering all his chopped veg on the worktop. Directly on it

No plates available again I see Jamie.

Chemical sweeteners are criminal.

And that's why I think the sugar tax isn't necessarily a good thing. Manufacturers get round it by just adding a load of weird sweeteners instead, then people still don't retrain their sweet tooth and suffer the side effects of aspartame or sorbitol etc.

fever tree or bottle green are ok

I’ve definitely seen Fever Tree for sale in my local supermarkets. Thanks - I’ll have a closer look and try to get over my inherent frugality … Grin

Exactly. Being forced to drink vile chemical alternatives to processed natural ingredients isn't a choice to be made by anyone else, least of all an arrogant TV cook who is overweight (and making others overweight) by using and publishing recipes heavy in butter, cream and loads of other shit.

I cannot drink artificial sweeteners. My mouth reacts. I hate him for that. Mincey-handed cunt

He's back again tonight, going to see if he has popped to Home Bargains to equip himself since last week.
