Pippa Middleton To Write Cookery Column...

[sandyRoe]

Will there be an upsurge in demand for foie gras and caviar in the same way that Delia Smiths television programmes pushed up the sale of some foods?

Pie, beans, and chips in posh speak could be, Beef wellington, haricot vert, and pomme frites

[shoota]

She can cook my haricots if she wants....

[sandyRoe]

she probably has bigger fish to fry

[Baldric]

Oh Bum!!

[aelmpvw]

i'm with Baldric, her cooking skills are irrelevant

[tiggerblue10]

First, newspaper column, then tv programme, then adverts.

[silka]

Oh perleese.

[mallyh]

well she has to do something to fill in the time between holidays eh!

P-Middy's book was not a huge success, so it's her name rather than her technical skills that Waitrose are buying.

Name - joggerjayne

Specialist subject - the bleedin' obvious

I hope there's no upsurge in the demand for foie gras. It is horribly cruel to produce. :o(

[doctordb]

Makes me think, which sister has come off best out of the royal wedding?

[joggerjayne]

//i hope there's no upsurge in the demand for foie gras. It is horribly cruel//

Yes, but its just so exquisite.

[joggerjayne]

With a glass of Sauternes, or a Takaji,it's just ... the best.

I feel terrible.

Obviously.

[mazie]

Is it a bit like brains with fava beans and a nice chianti jj ?

[mrs.chappie]

Jayne, did you watch that food programme on the telly last night?

The ducks are force fed by a pipe shoved down their throats. Their livers grow to between 8 and 10 times their normal size before the ducks are slaughtered. Disgusting.

I don't care if it is exquisite. You wouldn't get me eating it in a million years.

"Will there be an upsurge in demand for foie gras"

Sincerely hope not, about time this barbaric practice was banned, all for the sake of a 'delicacy'...sickening!

[joggerjayne]

The thing is, Mazie ... I've not tried the cannibal bit, lol.

Oh, Mrs Chappie, I know, and I feel terrible. Really terrible.

It's just ... oh god, it's SO nice. It's beyond nice.

[joggerjayne]

I kind of wish my post hadn't crossed with B00's !
