    I love cooking, but my day job is stopping me from pursuing my dream of being the next Jamie Oliver. Well, the day job and the fact that I'm not rackishly good looking and don't say 'pucker' every second word. That said, sometimes I have to resort to survival cooking. You know what I mean. It's saturday morning and you're starving but it's too cold/hot/sunny to head outside to forage for food so you make do with what you have inside. I've just cooked something that smelled like wet grass clippings. The ingredients seemed inoccuous enough (besides the furry cheese). Anyone else cooked (and for bonus points, eaten) something a little rank lately? cheers, Chris Maunder

          Nigella rules. She sometimes makes food as hot as herself. ;) -- It's not unusual to be picked up by a klingon woman It's not unusual to have fun with a klingon When I see you kicking me around It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die

            My first thought: That is what the kids dog is for. He just got the last piece of liver and loves the stuff.

              Not lately, but Corned Beef Hash cooked in Guinness was a notable disaster of mine. X| Another one is adding Worcester sauce to mashed potato - it tastes great but looks like shit! Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Nigel Slater? don't think he's balding, and his books/tv stuff came out way before J.O's. but I can't think of another chef called Nigel. Debbie

                    Hehehe, did anyone see the recent episode of the comedy (Happiness?) where Johnny Vegas uses Nigella Videos, with a box of tissues to erm, satisfy himself alone?
