New River Cottage Series

Recommended Posts

A Cook on the Wildside and the original River Cottage series was some of the best tv I watched.........loved it, (until I realised HFW didn't actually 'live' there), this new series looks pale in comparison and it's lost the real earthy feel of the early stuff. I had an e mail recently from the River Cottage site asking if i'd like a 'guided tour' of the HQ at a cost of £15!...........no thanks. It's turned into a money machine now and that's a shame. Sorry for being so cynical, :ernyha: .

surely though the whole point of it was to educate people that meat comes from killing animals and as unsavoury as it is every meat product involves a man killing an animal, it is not born in a tesco packet .ethical treatment of livestock is a thing that modern supermarkets has forced into a privilige for people that can afford it.

I watched it and can only assume that there are 6 villages somewhere all missing their idiots.

 

I think the production company have missed a trick - why get on 6 people who are complete muppets and whom the viewers could not empathise with at all - I couldn't give a monkeys what those 6 muppets did or didn't do / like / eat / think / die etc.

 

There was one bloke that made a big deal that he wouldn't eat a single vegetable - HFW then made and even bigger deal because he finally got him to eat slices of parsnip deep fried. Brilliant and gripping stuff. Honestly, if he doesn't want to eat a single vegetable and wants bowel cancer then pack his bags and send him back to his idiot life and squat in London.

 

And as for that beast they found from Romford - whilst I have no doubt she has in fact been living in a cave for the last 20 years, I think it likely that her cave probably has the top of the range Sky package, the biggest television she could find from the Littlewoods catalogue a long with a huge leather sofa with a big dent and a sweat patch in it. So, with all that telly (Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey etc) how is it she just doesn't get the whole food chain thing? What self respecting mother goes on telly and boasts about how she shovels cheap ****e food from KFC down her kids necks?

 

HFW that food educational band wagon has long gone...

 

I reckon he should have got half a dozen people on who are actually intetrested to learn more about animal husbandry, butchery and cooking.

 

Disappointing.

They do hand pick muppets for these programs, just to get you shouting at the telly I am sure!

 

Th black guy had the right attitude, he was up for it all and now seems converted, the dappy bird sounds like she will become a veggie, but at least she now knows chicken comes from chickens :ernyha:

 

Can't win them all.

It's all about making little advances and the occaisional battle. The war gets won later.

 

It's true about the big lass though and the KFC manager bloke. I was disgusted that both of them. I mean, you get offered peas picked fresh and taken out of the pod and turn it down? Someone makes you an amazing chicken soup (must have smelt superb) and takes the time to take out all the healthy green stuff and you feed it to the dog in front of your host. Not polite.

 

I agree that the salad dodger probably deserves to have compacted bowels and problems and I would also agree that feeding kids with next to nothing means buying cheaper ingredients, but her argument that it's cheaper to buy KFC than to cook is rubbish... If she's full time at home, then she will have time to cook properly.

 

Ok, enough soap-boxing. I need a cuppa
