Some things in life rub us up the wrong way. Some things really grate at us, for no apparent reason. Then there is Jamie Oliver.
Jamie Oliver’s constant attempts to be a ‘cheeky chappie’ would be irritating, but forgivable, were it not for the fact that I feel seasick, because his cameraman is waving his lens around again. Is that food? I can’t tell, it looks like you’re filming it with a microscope, you’re so close.
Another thing with old Jamie, which makes him far from pukka, is his absolute overuse of olive oil. We get it Jamie. You like extra virgin olive oil. Now stop pouring it into all your recipes, and again over the finished meal. I’m pretty sure Jamie Oliver drinks olive oil instead of water.
Jamie Oliver has also got a huge hangup. Rustic. Everything must be “ruthtic”. What rustic means to Jamie, though, is that it is not chopped properly. Or washed. If it is cooked by throwing it into some ash, all the better.
I long for the day when a nice meal can again be just that: a nice meal. Not some grubby baby carrots which have been char grilled on a barbecue by a try-hard mockney pot-washer with a speech impediment.

I think Jamie Oliver’s cameraman has now moved on to Nigella Lawson for her Express prog.
Makes you feel quite queasy trying to watch. And what is the point of all the busy-busy scenes of her jumping in and out of taxis etc etc?
Have you seen the latest one? Hes only gone out and found himself a token hairy old “ruthtic” man to look after his garden, what a cock.
I was given a recipe book written by this chap for Christmas - whilst I don’t wish to deprecate the act of giving - have you actually tried to follow one of his recipes? Once you have caught your rare Himalayan Yak and milked it (loads of them in Essex are there?) you have to get the milk blessed by a Pukka Wicca then make it into Mozzarella. Jamie, grow up and remember you should be more into jellied eels than foie gras.
Annoying, yes, and the ‘gert yaw chops round that’ presenter is equally obnoxious although we have rarely seen her. Pukka, I think not.
