I like the bloke, I couldn't care less if he has £240 million in the bank or £240. He's a decent man and that's what matters.

i nearly cut my hand off cos the thing isnt sharp enough. i cut into an onion and it just slides off into my hand. the only way i can cut an onion with it is by piercing with the point first, which is pathetic for a supposedly decent knife thats not even a year old.

Those awards that Oliver has got are probably worth a lot more to the image of his business and ultimately his profits that using the cheaper products available.
You've got to hand it too him. He's definitely stolen a march on the other restaurants again. Dine at Jamie Oliver's and eat animals that enjoy being bred for slaughter is the message. Although I doubt if he'd put it like that. |

"bought some Jamie Oliver sausages from Sainsburys the other day. packet said priick with fork and i thought fair enough" a shocking omission

This subject is not really within your area of expertise is it, Crippen?. |

I give up. |

Raymond Blanc said to me Jamie Oliver is a good cook, but he is not a chef.
Very true from the great man, who has trained a legion of culinary giants including Michael Caines, John Burton Race etc etc. All I ever see Jamie do is make a Salsa!  Kenny, please can some topics not be dragged own by animal welfare. Pious isn't the word, you and your soapbox.....And I am sure you can get a nice bit of fois gras from one of his restaurants. |

I quite like Jamie's programs and have a few of his books. He tends to go down the Italian way of cooking and uses a lot of Parma Ham, Chorizo and the like in his recipes. Is pukka Italian pig well cared for? This would be my only criticism of him
|
|
By:
I'll give you 1000/1 he sells fois gras.
|
|
By:
course he sells fois gras, kenny. Who wouldn't? Your research needs a bit of work. Want some CIWF fois gras?? Just pop down here to Sussex

By:
There was no research, blackbarn. I'll be very surprised if you're right as Compassion surely wouldn't have granted him 3 stars if he did.
Have you any proof please? |
|
By:
If he does, it'll be free range, and have had a happy life, which is all that matters.

I think the thread title should be changed.
Delete "Jamie Oliver worth £240m" Insert "Jamie Oliver has £240m" |

This subject is not really within your area of expertise is it, Crippen?.
Any subject seems outside of yours blackbairn. All you seem to do is take swipes at other posters. What is your problem? |
|
By:
surprised he is only worth that much tbh,my missus went to a neighbours "Jamie at home party" where they sell his kitchen to products to other wimmin with more munny than sense ,my missus spent £25 on a feckin poncy salad chopper that got used once and will forever lie in the cupboard unused and when I saw the catalogue of more of his gear some of the prices were astronomical!no wonder hes got fecking £240 million , feel like I have gifted the k hoont half of it !

By:
there does seem a direct correlation between the rise in his personal fortune and his increase pushing various welfare issues.
Of course all the meat used in his restaurants is 'happy meat', have you seen the prices?? its part of the image, well off people can afford to 'care' more.... simple as that.. it does not mean they are more caring.... |
|
By:
Those salad choppers are a bit of a con to be fair. A simple design with recommended different hand grips for slicing and dicing. You could use your bank card with a sturdy grip to slice and dice a cucumber ironically Foyles.

Fair play to him. Doesn't come across as overly bright but enthusiastic, unpretentious, committed and very hard working. Seems a decent enough ordinary family man who's made good! We should applaud him and I'd be very proud of him if he were in my family.
Agree with Blackbarn, has had the most influence on how we eat since Delia. His recipes, like hers, are p1ss easy, well explained and quick - a winning formula. |

Us British love to knock people who have "got on", unlike The Americans.
Good luck to him and continue the admirable approach to animal welfare. |
|
By:
May surprise you Kenny but not everyone is interested in animal welfare to the degree you are.
Yes all my eggs are free range. Yes I try to buy ethically produced meat. But feck me you go on and on and on. Change the record and appreciate we don't all want every thread ambushed by animal welfare. |
|
By:
Why don't you just ignore my posts then? I thought animal welfare was very relevant on a Jamie Oliver thread.
