Well, I for one am glad to see the most 'natural' food in the world being caught on t.v. This is what Ramsey does best.......yes i know it 'may' be Controversial, but you can't get any more natural!!!!
I have to admit, it WAS better when I could catch 'em with me dog.....but hey the humble Coney will have to do since the ban on hares Eek Disappointed
Although i noticed they 'edited' the 'point of impact' Confused maybe too risky even for channel 4 Wink


when we lose the right to be different we lose the privilege to be free.

God help me but I can remember going out with my next door neighbour and his family to hunt for rabbit and hare, we needed this to supplement our diet as things were a little tight regarding income in those days. I have eaten pigeon and rabbit, hunted with a dog and a polecat/ferret. We used to, in those days grow a lot of our own veg and eat veg in season. How lucky are we now that the supermarkets mean that we don't have to cook according to season, we can enjoy fresh food all year round. How lucky are we now that we don't have to go and hunt ourselves. We can go to retail outlets and source foods that we could never have dreamed of, out of season etc, 30 years ago. We, in the words of Winston Churchill, have never had it so good. It is a shame that we as a nation are not appreciative of the fact that we can eat so well, we choose, I suppose due to the pressure put on us to excel in everything, to choose convenience. So there it is, we choose to eat KFC/M&S ready meals/frozen whatever, as it is quicker, ( we think) and we don't have time to produce anything ourselves. We all have the opportunity that we never had years ago to produce good, nutritionally balanced and fresh meals. We have more education these days regarding healthy and well balanced nutritiion but we are less healthy than we were years ago, we have to ask the question, why? I think it is because although we have more on offer we are so busy with other things that we have lost sight of what is important. I do believe that GR is trying to make us all a little more aware that we can all achieve good, healthy, nutritionally balanced meals, without too much effort or time. We really did never had it so good. I know that it is sometimes a matter of money, I know that I cannot afford some ingredients that GR includes but for goodness sake improvise and adapt, you might find that you may never have to go to a restaurant again as you can produce things that are equal if not better than they can. Rant over, if you have any recipes share them, this is after all a food orientated forum.
