In thinking Sophie Dahl is a cheesehead ??

[SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus]

Grrr, irritating, she must have used the word 'melencholy' more times in the past 20 minutes than most people use in a lifetime.

And does she really think people believe somebody as skinny as she is scoffs vast quantities of cream and bread fried in chicken fat more than once in a lifetime

I thought that , melancholy and nourishing, aaahhh!

YABU.
and how many threads have there been about Sophie Dahl on this board anyway??

Is she being paid by the melancholy?

And why can't she look at the effing camera when she's talking?

she has BOILED a ROAST CHICKEN she is a charlatan

I've just heard her say that her green thai paste thing is ' life-affirming' and ' a bar-room brawl'. Just ridiculous. She is not Nigella - I can't see her cooking this stuff for her Model friends.

I've watched just five minutes of her show and I already want to feed her through a mangler.

I like her and the programme

She can't cook and the whole programme is an utter pretense from start to finish. If you want to promote yourself as a lovely, lovely person - but a bit deep, y'know? - who wears floral dresses and brown cardigans (as if), then write a frigging autobiography instead of a cookery programme.

I've boiled a chicken. But I call it 'poaching'.

ifancyashandy i bet you didn't roast the poor thing first. poached chicken is lovely.

Not only is the show rubbish but her eyes are too big for her head and she married a hobbit- albeit a talented one.

Oh No Fishie - poached in a lovely broth, all seasoned with oriental spices and stuff. Fair fell off the bone it did. Served up with wilted pak choi on rice. Nom Nom Nom - even if I do say so myself!

oh yes!! This is the thread I have been waiting for.. argghghhghghghgghghghhhh! She drives me nuts and my DP adores her show. I cannot, repeat cannot get over the fact that she is actually given airtime, from our license fee to cook......

Bubble and Squeak, and melt some chocolate.

Jesus christ on a bleedin' bike.

And I swear, she cannot talk without throwing at least 8 analogies into each sentence. FGS sake, the 'child in the snow, who is picked up by another child' had me running out of the room trying to scratch my ears off. Gorgeous she may be, but bloody hell, cook she ain't.

arf @ thefantasticfixit

I too made a derisory snort at the telly when I heard that child in the snow crap.

I have a problem with poetry on cooking/lifestyle/clothes modelling shows/whatever it is. Its just too precious for words.

She's very beautiful and a cack handed home cook a la Nigella, both of which are entertaining to watch,but the whole poetry/lifesyle tweeness of the programme is just vom.

Oooooooooooh yeah, and I just bet she slouches in a chair idly stirring cream into melted chocolate when the cameras arent there

Whole things a barf fest, and don't get me started on that bleeding big eyed, oh so cosy look che keeps wafting at the camera and

I was just going to post the same thing YANBU -its so emperor's new clothes, and she so would have got anywhere with out that surname...

And I thought that she was very dismissive of "melancohly" when there are so many people who are depressed and can't just "snap out of it"

(what's a cheesehead???)

Aaaargh - she gives me hackles like pine trees

A Cumbrian term basicly means irritating.

She is really, really trying to be Nigella, isn't she? And who needs TV to tell them how to make bubble and fucking squeak?

That said, I may be biased, as cabbage is inclined to trigger melancholy in me.

I first read it as cheeseboard, as in naff last course at 90's dinner party

She's got Nigella's lip mannerisms down to a tee.
