When he started crying, I realised that I don't hate him any more - the contrary. He's a true English hero.
Here's to Hugh.

I cried a bit
Crying made him look so weak.
And led to the over-humanising of the chickens.
I'd always had him down as a barbarian though.
Greedy man obsessed with eating things that used to be alive. He always seemed to take more than he needed, like he'd go and shoot a fox and eat it, when he'd already killed a goat or something.
But I realised he's better. Rearing and eating your own animals is so much more ethical than farming them isn't it?
I've got a load of chickens running around my garden, but I couldn't eat them. One in particular, the cockeral we have, is reeeeeeally huge and healthy. He's bright orange and green and stuff, and looks delicious. But I'm too in love with them to ever think about snapping their necks.
I think he can do it because he's a bit of a lunatic. He sees them as food before they've even hatched. And not in an egg way.
aw, you have chickens?
I want chickens.
I've just changed my mind
Cool. What on?
Your mum?
Thought so.
Yep, I've changed my mind about my mum
The crying bit was silly
I quite like him though. Much preferable to a cunt like Jamie Oliver.
nah, I prefer Jamie
Jamie for a start uses normal food in his recipes, and genuinely enjoys what he does.
Jamie Oliver is probably one of my heroes to be honest.
please say the last bit isn't true
I have a lot more time for Fearnley man because he is far less self-aggrandising. I think he is just as passionate about what he does but isn't as vocal/whorish
They're just TV chefs at the end of the day though
...
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall isn't the most popular man in Dorset. He recently went to Axminster farming suppliers Mole Avon, picked up a basketload of goods and walked to the front of the queue. A farmer who had been patiently queuing shouted out "Hey! What are you doing? Get back!" Hugh replied "Don't you know who I am?" When the farmer suggested that he didn't much care, Hugh abandoned his basket and walked out.
is that from Popbitch, I think I have read it before?
if it is true, then it reflects badly on him but I can only go by his writings/programmes and I think he comes across pretty well.
I know it's slightly shameful
But I really admire him. When I was younger he got me interested in cooking, so the fact I can look after myself and cook nice food for other people owes a fair bit to him.
He's not like other chefs always trying to be fancy, and he's young and has a life outside of cooking. He's just an ordinary guy, not a weirdo like worrall thompson or a comedy figure like ramsay. And fearnley pisses me right off with his lord of the manor mild british man in wellies mannerisms. wanker.
his recipes are pretty good
too, he's done a lot of good things and by all accounts is a decent bloke.
Obviously his fat tongue, annoying words and mannerisms take the shine off things but on the whole I agree with you.
fair enough
I detest the way he is but he is good at what he does (recipes) and I suppose that should be the most important thing.
I admire Gordon Ramsey a lot more. Again he is quite the cunt and I wouldn't like to work for him much but he is undeniably a fantastic chef, which is his job, and he knows what he is talking about.
I don't mind the lord of the manor thing too much as it is pretty detached from my life and I don't think it is fake unlike the whole Naked Chef fake friends and lifestyle, scooter-toting thing.
What does bother me about Fearnley is that he doesn't seem to appreciate that not everyone has the shitloads of money, land and spare time he has to be self-sufficient and do everything the "right way". I suppose it is about doing what you can.
yeah I quite like Ramsey
but he's 'the professional chef' isn't he really? You can't imagine him not working in a high pressure restaurant. Whereas you can imagine oliver coming home and having to whip up dinner in 20 minutes. And he makes recipes which are like that, with parts you can then apply when you cook in future.
hey
he's always been cool.
