Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall tonight 9pm

[johnty greentoes]

I'd strongly recommend the C4 programme Hugh's Chicken Run tonight by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (River Cottage bloke) on intensive farming of chicken.

Hugh's Chicken Run | 4Food | Channel4.com

I was bought his books on Fish and Meat over Christmas and find his ethical meat views very appealing - eat less but of a higher quality and pay for minimal cruelty.

PS Nice to be back.

Yep, I'm watching - I have all of them set to record and Jamie's

[pigletwillie]

Welcome back Johnty.

Likewise, set to record. They should make interesting watching.

[Flummery]

Nice to have you back. Flooding was shocking in Hull wasn't it?

[Nicos]

Hello.....
Good to have you back- you missed all the fun at the Gardeners Rest!!- oh well, there's always next year

Just in the mood for a Hugh FW programme- thanks the the reminder!

[Snadger]

Must admit I like to watch him but I was reading the River cottage Year book last night and he was advocating cooking Snipe or Woodcock without gutting them. He then says you spoon out the entrails after they are cooked and spread them on toast to go with the Quail! Adding Hares blood to thicken the stock was another delight of his!

Looking forward to HFW, Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver getting together on Friday as well!

PS Welcome back Johnty!

I have to say we should all go along with minimal cruelty.

Nice to see you back JT.

Nearly as bad as putting Horse muck on your Rhubarb ... I think Custard is much better, if a little lower in fibre

[Shortie]

I saw the end where he had to cull some. You could see he felt uncomfortable about it. Ot also showed in the next episode that he gets quite upset about it
