[QUOTE="Sheikh Yerbouti, post: 719467, member: 9093"] EDIT to answer your Q he made the squirrels into a pie. Gotta say, Marco Pierre White has gone right down in my estimation after watching that prog. Just strikes me as a blatant copycat of other 'celebrity chef' programmes so he can cash in. He doesn't even have a unique angle. Rick Stein talks about local dishes from various places, Hugh Fearnley-Garlicpress talks about farming and how animals are reared and slaughtered etc... The Great British Menu has the competition format and the regional angle as well as critics being judges and stuff... i just don't see the point of the MPW programme. "Oh i'm gonna show off, but this time not me but British produce and British cooking"... err sorry mate... already been done. Same with the dishes... The smoked eel dish, the elvers, even the "devilled" gulls eggs... all been done before on other cookery programmes. Also didn't like that he had his own name in 3 foot high letters on the wall outside his pub. His name was the same size lettering as the name of the pub... bit unnecessary if you ask me... Can't verify the truth of this last one, but a colleague told me that in a couple of the earlier shows (I didn't see them) he was doing all sorts of product placement for firms like Knorr & Heinz in the stuff that he was cooking. Shocker if he was. Nowt against Knorr and Heinz obviously, but he's a triple Michelin star chef... If memory serves, wasn't he the first British chef to earn 3 Mich stars? Talk about dumbing down lol... Sorry, but Marco's gone reet down in my estimation because of that show. EDIT2 I'd definitely recommend the new show Jimmy Doherty off Jimmy's farm is doing now. I watched the first one on Tuesday night (I think it was) and it was excellent. Really interesting. Didn't have the cookery stuff in, but it was all about how large scale farming is done in England. Stuff like how they start off with a field full of pea plants, then the man from Birdseye he say yes, and 2 and a half hours later the whole lot are picked shelled, frozen & ready to go. Amazing.
