Jamie's battery-farmed dinners
The smug, hypocritical, opportunist, fat-tongued fucking bell end.
What's up, food ponce? Kids needed another Range Rover? Yeah, it doesn't really matter if you just use a little bit of intensively farmed garbage in your sandwiches. It's fine, as long as you're just profiting from it, rather than actually eating it.
And that fucking tagine you endorsed broke first time it was used. Cunt.

From what I've heard, Jamie Oliver isn't even a fully qualified chef, and from what I've seen on TV he's no better than the average bloke who can knock up a nice curry or something on toast. Like Ainsley Harriet. They aren't exactly rivals to the likes of Gordon Ramsay, who might swear a lot, but at least he served his time in some of the world's top kitchens, and he usually gets things right.

Mixed emotions.
Though I do like to mock his faux-patois street cred and his matey-banter does get wearing; he has done time in various establishments including River cafe and he is both an astute businessman and has an eye for the zeitgeist. He did alert many to the inadequacies of school dinners (though without lasting impact) and he does introduce an element of fun and accesability to cooking. I have enjoyed several spit-roasted chickens on a log fire thanks to his inspiration.
However, in conclusion, I was bought his 'flavour shaker' which is a ceramic mouse-ball in a plastic screw top vessel. It is absolutely, totally, fucking useless and this must have been apparent to him had he ever used the hunk of shite.
Nigella's porcelain lemon squeezer, in contrast, is excellent, and there is no finer means to squeeze out your citrus than within her shapely vessel.
