Lighthearted first world rant about Food Network

I like Jamie Oliver, but why is it that he seems to be on for approximately 10 hours solid everyday?

This is on Food Network, which is my favourite nonsense TV. Every time I turn it on at the moment, it's Jamie's family feasts, Jamie's family Christmas etc etc.

Has he bought the channel or something?

Harrumph.

I’m not sure which is worse, endless repeats of Jamie Oliver’s various programmes or James Martin 🤔

Not keen on James Martin's programmes either, which is weird as I liked him on Saturday Kitchen.

I also don't like the American competition ones, like Christmas Cookie show down or whatever it is. But I do love Barefoot Contessa and Pioneer Woman

Mystery Diners is awful. Staged!

Caught a bit of James Martin's islands and highlands show yesterday, when he was in Jersey. He made a squid ink risotto with potatoes (no rice at all) and it looks pretty awful, then he didn't even taste it! 😂 does he usually do that? I've never seen that show before!

James Martin seemed to do. ALL afternoon and I can't take to him but as PO said, I liked him on Saturday kitchen. I like a bit of Jamie mind you.

I do like Jamie O, but I'm swiftly going off him as he's on there all the damn time! Maybe it's just the times of day I switch on the TV.
