Tom Kerridge everyday sexism - just so unnecessary

[EssenceOfGelfling]

BBC2 cooking programme: apparently Cornish tin miners were "big burly blokes, not namby pamby girls".

Dammit I used to like the man and his recipes! A bit of a google and I've been turned right off.

Half of the miners were poor scraggly little children (both girls and boys) anyway so its factually incorrect too as well as unnecessary and sexist, sigh.

It certainly seems like more 'male' phrasing I think. She could have been just typing what he dictated I suppose but wouldn't you say "Are you sure you want to post that dear?"

Tom Kerridge's is a total wankbadger, I would call him a twatbat but that might be too girly.

When acting like a aggressive bully whilst on twitter it would be more effective to use correct English. The twit.

I am really shocked at this. I used to watch him on Great British Menu and Masterchef and he had me fooled!! I thought he was one of the few nice men around. I remember he championed one female contestant on Masterchef and my heart sang that here was a male chef who saw women in the industry as their equals. BUT......I tuned into his programme on iplayer and yep...he really IS that gross and rubbish!

sigh so many men turn out to be a total letdown.

I really hate all this 'man food' crap (it tends to be very meat-centric, which excludes me anyway). I'm sure there wasn't any of this nonsense 20 years ago, and there were a good few male chefs on telly back then (Ken Hom & Michael Barry, to name but two). I think Jamie bloody Oliver and his laddishness have a lot to answer for!

I haven't realised about the McCoy's website. Might have to boycott them, even though I love the salt and vinegar ones!!

It's really annoying because I've just got a reservation at his restaurant.

Hopefully he wouldn't come out of the kitchen and berate you for not eating his food in a suitably macho manner!

Maybe I'll go all 'manly' - stick on beard, talk in a gruff voice etc

So and I used to have a drinking game when he was doing his pub food programme: every time he adds butter to something, take a drink. We stopped doing this on "school nights", though.

Ah do wear a fake beard, and also scratch your crotch a lot. It'll please him.
