its not very often a TV presenter rubs me the wrong way but i couldn't watch the show to the end. who is he and what does he normally do? his name is familiar but i can't really place him ???

the show looked like a nice show though, i pretty much cook like that as well.

Whew! Thought it was just me. Couldn't put my finger on it but I found him irritating.

betula · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:14:56 »

I watched it again this morning..with no interuptions and I did not find him irritating.

Strange but true ;D

He's a man after me own heart. Don't waste anything. I liked the idea of the chickenburgers and mayonaise wrapped in a lettuce leaf. Trouble is we only grow little gem. Praps I could make mini burgers. Will watch the programme again cos I'm always on the look out for simple meals that can be cooked quickly. Means we can spend longer at the plot

Love his books, love his recipes (for guidance only of course!) but...... definitely irritating.

watched this on I player, after reading this thread. very good program but yes he does grate a little, although I will try and watch the rest of the series as he appears well informed and very enthusiastic.

shirlton · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2009, 17:25:14 »

Guess what we are having for dinner tomorrow. You got it. chicken burgers but with veg instead of the lettuce leaf

Darnit, I meant to watch it but must have been down at the plot, watering in the almost-dark!

   Thanks for that betula, did miss it but pleased I can catch up now.

   When old pence were in short supply, used to raid the fridge and make all

   sorts of wierd and wonderful things for the kids tea, ie;

   sausage, egg tomato and onion flan - real pastry and topped with cheese and

   into the oven. May not be very exotic by todays standards, but they cleared thier plates

  and would eat anything I put in front of them ---- so easy for me ! ;D
