"The day I start cooking for money rather than for what I believe in I should give up" - Gary Rhodes, the man who advertises Flora.

Arse.

DH is watching some footballer wives number about Dubai, but I couldn't help but overhear that bit.

I Do Not Like Gary Rhodes.

Gary clearly thinks Flora is delish, snigger - he wouldn't do it otherwise [innocent]

just like Marco Pierre White really rates Knorr stock cubes...

And sugar! Remember?

Just remember how self-delusional he was on Strictly? That should make you feel better.

and you can feel MPW's sincerity in this ad

I didn't see it - was he really, really smug - yet crap?

I can hope.

So does he not get paid for his intensely dull programmes then?

mpw does rate knorr stock cubes. he said he's been using them in his restaurants for years, and i'm inclined to believe him. i love them too, mind you.

oh, you are spoiling it, Maurice!

But that jellified solid on the spoon just reeked of concentrated deliciousness, harpo

I feel very disappointed in MPW - I expect my celebrity chefs to fall on the sword of food purity and go bankrupt rather than use their names flogging scrapings and sweepings.

i am a little about the liquid stuff, if that helps. i'm strictly a cube gal.

I just love the way he mangles the sentence 'the food critics are still priddy tough though' Poor bloke, really wasn't cut out for selling his soul endorsement

ah good, now you're joining in, Maurice!

Ooh you snobs, there is nothing wrong with Knorr, it's very good stock.

To be fair to Rhodes, maybe he believes in Flora? I think it's vile, but for people who have to have special diets because of their cholesterol etc., I suppose it's good. Just hope I never have to use it.

That's as may be, but you still wouldn't find St Hugh with a trouserful of Knorr jelly hawking Flora, you just wouldn't.

it IS good stock, cali, isn't it? i really hate all other chicken stocks. 'specially those creepy liquid packs, that is money for old rope imo.

i do make my own, mostly, though.
