not everyone can boil an egg : I doubt Delia would have bothered making it a subject in her "how to cook" book/series....

Yeah but have you seen her new series? What a bloody cop out. I've always rated Delia for her sound, back to basics, cooking style. This time however she has just sold out to the Money Monster, and she's rolling in the stuff as it is!

I mean, frozen wedges with some crap sauce...do me a favour Delia. She is well coming off my pin-up wall!

She'll be heartbroken to hear that SS! Spurned before she even got a chance to know ya, how cruel! Who are you going to replace her with? Fanny Craddock or Dorothy Sleightholme?

Blimey, and I thought I was old! I'd never heard of Dorothy Sleightholme but I found a clip of Farmhouse Kitchen on youtube, and strangely although I remember the tune I don't recognise her. But of course, it goes without saying that I've always got time for Fanny.

I came across Graham Kerr too wile I was Googling, you must remember him, the Galloping Gourmet!

OI! I'm not old ya cheeky sod! I'm in me prime ;D I only remember Dot Sleightholme because she had a really loud swallow, other than that I don't recall her.....honest! I'm sure I've got a copy of a farmhouse kitchen cookbook somewhere...

QuoteBut of course, it goes without saying that I've always got time for Fanny

I think it's for the good of the board that I ignore that one! Just be glad I'm not American or I could read that entirely the wrong way SS

I remember the galloping gourmet.....they started showing his US show on ITV back when I was legging school....There was him and Martin Yan ("Yan can cook") who always had his chopper in his hand....typical bloke : 

BTW, Rusty Lee was in my home town signing her new book, I've not seen her in many a long year either

LMAO  ;D

Damn it woman! You took my joke, turned it arse about face, and mad me the butt of the joke!

Oh god don't remind me. If there was a competition for most irritating celebrity cook she'd definitely be in the top three.

Well bugger me! I'd never have scraped that particular bottom if you hadn't made it look so tempting, Santa

Who else would make up that top three? I'd take Rusty Lee over Anthony Worrall Thompson any day of the week I just can't abide that man!

Okay Rai

Peronally I've had enough of this.

We've surrendered to your persistant criticism. I don't like your manner, I don't like your instense interrogation techniques and I certainly don't feel that there is anything to be gained from persuing this matter further, as I'm sure most will agree.

I'm really not quite sure why you are here on this forum in the first place, as you claim to know to know nothing one moment and then 'hey presto' you are the absolute guru, the next, and you certainly are not willing to listen.

I've tried to be polite, I've tried to give reasonable answers (as have we all), and I've tried to appreciate your objectives - but you still resist.

I can also get nasty - but so far I've resisted the temptation. As far as this forum is concerned, it is for the benefit of most and not for the satisfaction of a few.

I strongly suggest you read through this thread again (from the beginning), and I'm sure you will have the answers to your questions.

Sns

Sns thank you for breaking the mold and taking the words out of my mouth! Ive resisted sooo much - this probably the longest load of old dribble on the web! (no offense to the regular posters  )

I honestly think that's a bit unfair uncklebuck. You may not have liked Rai's style but the essence of his questions was very interesting and I only wish we had come to some verifiable answers.

And just so it's not all one sided you should note that once again SnS has deleted other people's posts while leaving his own intact - hardly fair don't you think?
