Difference between Jamie and HFW!

[Snadger]

Just watched one of Jamie's Christmas thingies where he was making canapes.

Each time he got three ingedients for example , Parma ham, fig and something else?.........rolled it up in a parcel with his fingers THEN STUCK IT ON A FORK, before sticking the fork in his mouth.
HFW would have omitted the fork and went straight to the gob! Seemed way too powsh for me (or maybe its just me being a slob!)

PS Even a cocktail stick would have been better, methinks.

Methinks HFW is a scruffy middleaged person and jamie is a scruffy young person - maybe that's my age showing

I like HFW MUCH more than JO.

I dont know about other grapes, but I find Jamie can be a bit condessending, particularly the whole Ministry of Food thingy and going off to America to make their food, only better


Hugh seems to just be a little bit potty, which I can relate to!

I love 'em both! My ONLY gripe about JO is he bought our old 'local' painted it orange, filled it with 25 staff then went bust! Wonder why?

I like HFW much better than JO-more natural,knows where his food comes from and-let's say it-how many of you tastes the food(yes,it goes straigt to your gob)and puts the spoon back into the food(not to mention licking fingers)

Yep, pretty much what I think too. That and everytime HFW's on the box what he does usually makes me feel hungry and inspires me to try cooking, growing or brewing something new. Jamie Oliver seems to have the opposite effect.

[Glutton4...]

In JO's defence though - a friend loaned me 'Jamie's Italy' last week - I got as far as page 12, and was checking my passport and bank balance, to see if I could afford the journey to Italy.

I think both HFW and JO have the ability to make you want to be there. Delia doesn't.

I am, however, a fan of her too

Ask Piskie...she'll tell you

She will? oh yer, she will - her's a scruffy middleaged person who behaves like a scruffy young person
