John Torode sacked now.

[aveatry]

I did a Food Technology course in the 80s which covered everything about the food industry from food science and chemistry, microbiology, dairy, baking, butchery, all kinds of cookery and all the maths, stats and industrial processes, machinery etc, I appreciate food and enjoy cooking.....

BUT....I can't stand all this poncy art on a plate cr@p.

Yes, it has to look appetising, and if course it has to taste good.

But you don't have to mess about with 100 different ingredients from freeze dried snake's scrotum to liquidised worm's tongues on a bed of rocking horse hoof shavings.

AND then serve it in a tiny portion.

Just good honest food that looks good and tastes great.

Pea foam
I would like to go into one of those fancy restaurants and when they read the menu out to me ask "Do I get chips with that"

It's not discrimination : it's responding to patterns of human behaviour.

Women’s behaviour - that **** dont work on men.
Could this all be why wallace got the sack as the program is predominately watched by women. Would he still be there if it was a program aimed at blokes ?
Or is it because it comes on the back of a hamas lad narrating a BBC documentary and then not pulling the plug on someone calling for the death of Jews at Glastonbury.

There's a famous story from the 1980s at the height of nouvelle cuisine where one of the diners asked Marco Pierre White for some chips. So he made some and charged £100.

EDIT: It was only £25. But still a lot back then.

Why do you look for a conspiracy in everything.

Sometimes things are just as obvious as they seem.

If it was 6 years ago, why are they sacking him now? Seems a little too convenient.

Wallace was always the 'main one', if they get a replacement does that mean that Torode gets an upgrade to become the main presenter, or does Wallace's replacement become the new Batman and put Robin's nose out of joint?
Easier to clear the decks and start afresh.

The BBC have only got to themselves to blame though, who'd have thought that a cockney barrow boy would be a bit cheeky with the ladies and that an Australian would be a racist?

No.

They've sacked him as well.

Do keep up

Racist remark

Reminds me some what of that old girl who asked were some one was from at some royal gathering

The person who was asked was traumatised by the question

she also ran a centre for abused Woman
Rape
Domestic. Violence

Etc

Traumatised

14 years of conservative government - I say that as its the only answer you will accept.

 

[denso13]

There you go again.

Are you sure?

Who told you that?

I was answering your post on your post #72, where you stated that

The world of TV adverts is totally messed up anyway and tilted heavily toward selling to women.

To which I don't disagree, but it is not for reasons of discrimination; it is sensible.

 

[Deluks]

Clearly. I was imagining the BBC weighing up their options.

No. Times are a' changin'. No decent organisation tolerates anymore, the stuff that was commonplace, "banter", back in the day.

Would he still be there if it was a program aimed at blokes ?

Yes. Gary Lineker got the sack for his conduct / views, and he presents programs that is not described as "predominantly watched by women".

Or is it because it comes on the back of a hamas lad narrating a BBC documentary and then not pulling the plug on someone calling for the death of Jews at Glastonbury.

No.
Both of which were just fudge-ups of basic editorial probity.

Very few do.

you obviously were not paying attention

No surprise tbh

SHE DID !

"Fulani claimed that during the reception, Hussey moved her hair to reveal her name badge and persistently questioned her over where her “people” came from, despite having been told she was a British national. She said she felt traumatised by the incident, which she described as an example of “institutional racism”.16 Dec 2022"
