He has just about done it today, our suppine master cook and general throw away culinary 'artiste' without stripy trousers, he now announced that chefs should be fined for using vegetables and fruit out of season, he says its an environmental abomination and something the PM should stamp out.   Well dearest jetsetting and world class air miles consumant, your activites are beyond environmental standards yourself and you should be locked up for throwing food away that is a tad overcooked. The steaks we have seen dissapearing into bins whilst some twenty odd F's were flying around the kitchen extolling the virtues of a steak that has been cooked some 30 seconds less, he is not putting the planet first, but I do understand his conversion, because after all this, he is a father and must somehow feel responsible for his actions like any other father wanting his children to enjoy a future environment as he has.   So, Gordon Ramsay, get your act together, put your money were your mouth is and institute the position of a LEFT OVER COOK on all of your TV programmes, here as well as abroad, I am volunteering. Never again do we want to see food wasted by you or your diletant cooks, indeed producers of this cooking bonanza, feel good factor spreading hysteria on our TV screens has got to answer his question first, they are the ones using license payer money to present us with this throw away charter.   TV producers who still think of cookery programmes should make sure that nothing is wasted anymore, these extarvagant allures of pampered people have no place in a world were a third have not enough to eat and many suffer from high food prices far worth than us.   Gordon will have to use more video conferencing and cooking on TV to bring his ideas over, rather than jet about, I expect him to use his overcooked steaks for stews and other great receipes, never again throw anything away anymore, especially not now that he made this point. lets hope that those who work with him will remind him ever so often of his own principled rants.   Viva to left overs, Gordon has finally found you. nevermind    Report

But don't you think Gordon Ramsay made these comments just to keep up with other chefs who have expressed opinions in the past. It's called verbal diarrhoea.

When I have seen at odd times on TV some of these `super chefs` at work it makes me creep.  Watching all that `finguring` and probing to make the meal look pretty ..Ugh !   I wouldn`t give tuppence to have that crap put in front of me .  Those poor well off fools who have been brainwashed  into thinking it`s wonderful can get on with wasting their money.   Our home cooking is genuine, and we`ve never suffered for it .    As for the other poor lot in the kitchen !   I wonder nobody has smacked him one before now having to put up with that abuse just because he is a `celebrity`.    I wonder how he would fare in an industrial tribunal ?   Dek. Laugh, and the wife laughs with you. Snore and you`ll sleep alone.    Report

And, apparently, other 'top' chefs have hit back at his complaints about cooks using out-of-season vegetables. Gordon Ramsay, they say, is one of the worst exponents of this behaviour. Oh, well. I might look darf but I ain't stuput!    Report

Now thats what I call in season food.   I had an unusual but seasonal breakfast this morning. I gathered half a bucket of nettle tops, washed them and cooked them, pureed them with a knife, a rasp of nutmeg and a tablespoon of cream, served on scrambled eggs on toast, local eggs, homemade bread, have not found anybody making their own butter in Rockland yet, but all of my breakfast today was seasonal and local.   Still Gordon has not answered his critics after making yesterdays remarks, I don't expect him to know what left overs mean, he'll probably tell us that he only cooks just enough so people eat up, ie. small portions. At Gordons restaurants you pay through the nose for very little local and/or seasonal food, according to AWT Worrell Thompson who could barely wait three hours before getting his broadside reply in. You go home hungry and end up having a fry up at a time when you should not really eat anything anymore, you have been F'd off, LoL. nevermind    Report
