In thinking Sophie Dahl is a cheesehead ??

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

If she really was made of cheese, at least she'd have a redeeming feature.

Habbibu · 13/04/2010 22:35

God, why did you make me watch this? Basically, she's made a programme about PMT food, which is surely just cake?

Can't cook for toffee - looks all arse and elbow with the practicalities but, strangely, it draws me and I find myself lured in by her provocative, eye-sweeping flirting. Through the telly [powerful]

Irritating posh girl who has starved herself. Oh and she's got 'connections'

Nothing more to her.

taffetacat · 13/04/2010 22:43

For some strange reason, I crave dill when I have PMT.

I am very envious of her lovely hands.

bobthebuddha · 13/04/2010 22:44

I like her - I think she seems a total sweetheart. But the programme is twee in the extreme & pretty much unwatchable. I find Nigella and Nigel Slater just as bad though. Do wish tv companies would can this overblown nonsense with stupid soundtracks. If I hear another breathy female "singer" fluting away over a programme or ad I'm going to do some damage.

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 13/04/2010 22:45

I'd be half the size I am if I craved dill when I have pmt

Ah yes swiss but I don't have it on its own......it must be mixed with something creamy and fishy. mmmmmmmm

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 13/04/2010 22:55

Dill with fish is far healthier than me chomping through the confectionary aisle like a mad woman

I have been known to tear open a galaxy before leaving the shop at my worst

Actually I've just read that back and it sounds really dodgy. I just meant fish pie or something!

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 13/04/2010 23:00

You made me read that back, you're right it does sound dodgy !! hee hee

I agree! First she serves a fried egg with oniony gravy for gawdsakes and then she just melts some choc, adds double cream and makes out she is cooking! Blimey give me Nigella any day of the week

DS prefers your version MadamDeathStare. He tried to eat the screen. He said Sophie Dahl looks horrible. But then he's in love with Amy Pond.( Dr Who )

If she did have a cheese head it would be one of those very pale posh ones from Waitrose that won't spread properly and taste of sourmilk.

posieparker · 14/04/2010 08:06

Her literary references are very irritating....well done, you can read!!

Kneazle · 14/04/2010 08:12

[snort] "cheesehead" hate the literary references makes me cringe.

cleopops · 14/04/2010 08:13

we turned over after she went "foraging for something nutritious" in Borough market with a basket,we were eating my homemade casserole and readymade mash at the time and were not melancholic at all.dp then ate a muller corner.

Kneazle · 14/04/2010 08:14

cleopops did he read you some love poetry at the same time whilst sitting in a cath kidston chair ?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 14/04/2010 08:15

Is it only me who thinks of the advert..."Darling cheesehead you were yards too beefy..oooooh me ears are alight!!"

(a cassette ad I think. I am OLD)

She´s pretty. But I just don´t buy it, it´s like a half hour long cmmercial for her "life style". I do find her boring.

And she can´t cook AT ALL! Her Tom Ka soup was not in the least bit authentic, it was more like a laksa really, so why call it TomKa?

I can only ever watch 3 minutes of this programme, so that is all I saw .

I used to like Nigel and Nigella, up till about 1998. Then they became parodies of themselves...

Kneazle · 14/04/2010 08:20

fanjo I was singing that whilst i read that but had no idea why until you said that

sybilfaulty · 14/04/2010 08:20

You must admit, though, the kitchen is gorgeous, her engagement ring is a stonker and she is very pretty.

Don't think much to the cooking though.

cleopops · 14/04/2010 08:21

Kneazle-unfortunately not,he got more annoyed as i pointed out that she is married to Jamie Cullem.One of dp's most hated people,along with Claire Sweeney and Martine McCutchen.
