As this programme is billed as part of the Big Food Fight and Hugh and Jamie have gone to such lengths to try to get us eating good quality but relativly easy food and educate us on the problems in food production, why oh why does Gordon think that scallops and sirloin steak are the normal fare of the great british public. I know we can have a treat sometimes but in my humble opinion the problem with obesity and bad eating habits of people is we have lost the ability to cook simple quick cheap meals for the family with good ingredients . I do not think that this menu (hoever interesting to the people who are interested in food) will help people to start cooking and briniging the family together.Nice try Gordon but I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. Also come to South Wales and try to locate the type of scallops you mention I would have to drive 40 miles to source them, and thats if they were in that day, there are plenty of other good seasonal ingredients available!!!
I quite agree with that. I guess the idea was to have an exciting 'occasion' meal for the finale, but i think it would have been alot better if they had tried to reinforce the message given over the past fortnight by 1. doing some sort of chicken dish and 2. making something that is affordable and easily available for everyone.
I know alot of people who got joined it but it excluded a large proportion of people...i mean, some people i know have never even eaten scallops before let alone cooked them, and would never spend the extra money to buy a good quality sirloin steak
I love Gordon and really enjoyed the show, i just think it was really out of touch with the other programmes shown during the big food fight.
I mentioned this in a previous thread. I am really disappointed that Gordon didn't cook a free-range chicken dish! What has his show got to do with Jamie's or Hugh's?
The menu was too expensive and boring. I am a student, so I didn't bother splashing out on scallops and sirloin steak. :/
