Best cooking program on the tellie?

[shropshire 0]

For me, it's the Hairy Bikers (BBC)... They are a right good laugh and cook proper (non-poncy) food..... and they ride motor bikes, so you cant loose.

British cooking shows:

"Boiling shit with Nigel"
"Innerds and entrails in pastry, with Portia"
"At least we're not Ireland"
"Halal Pork in Birmingham"

Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I don't watch cooking shows, but the only one I'm vaguely familiar with is the "BAM" guy Lagasse.

"sprinkle this on the casserole... BAM!"
"put it in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes... BAM!"

it gets irritating after a while.

Non-poncy? Is that REALLY a word?

Not being rude. Just playfully putting a thumb in the eyes of our former Colonial Masters.

We used immigration to get a good food menu. You guys built an empire to get to the same place...

I'm afraid so.

So since you made it up...don't you get the priviledge of making up a definition for it too?

poncy

Usually describing Elves from the movie and book series "Lord of the Rings." Poncy is most oftenly applied to Legolas because of his impeccable hair and skin. Poncy describes a ponce, who is essentially one who is overtly concerning with outward appearance.

Stupid poncy elf.


Also:

ponce

(1) An individual who attempts to fake having intelligence, class, or culture.

I knew he was a bit of a ponce, but what's with the monocle?


(2) Widely used to reffer to a poser,camp or soft looking person- the type of person who looks like they would get beaten up by a girl

"Jimmy cried during titanic-hes such a ponce"
"Pato i cant believe your wearing make up,you ponce!"

ponce

Term originated in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in the underworld, but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or neighborhood).

Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress.

In the US it also takes a bit of a tone for a poser or wannabe, primarily in the punk, ska, or artsy scenes.

1960's BRITISH:
JACK: Oi, I need to find me a classy bird for the night.
TOM: Go talk to that ponce Tony. He got some nice girls, by the hour, they are.
JACK: Tony's a ponce, is that right? I though he just had some sort of magic with the ladies.
TOM: Fuckin' prat, you are.

MODERN BRITISH:

NIGEL: I can't believe I got curry on me new Pradas! I just paid five hundred quid for em!
ANDY: Haha, you fuckin' ponce, that's what you get.
NIGEL: Fuck you, you fookin' chav, at least me Burberry's real.
ANDY: Right. You're still a ponce.

MODERN US:
DAVE: Hey man, wanna come into the woods with us and blaze?
FRED: No thanks, dude. I've got a date tonight and I don't wanna get my jeans dirty or sound like a retard when I'm talking to her.
DAVE: Quit being a fucking ponce and come on, man. This shit's good.
FRED: Alright, fine.

"Tim is a ponce; he thinks that Blink 182 is punk."

Alton Brown rocks, Bobby Flay on the other hand is an obnoxious, condescending jackass. I am surprised at you Kelly! I used to go to both Bolo and Mesa Grill often and the food is great, but he is just as much of a jackass in person.

Somebody also needs to smack Rachael Ray around just for being annoying and saying e-v-o-o instead of extra virgin olive oil!

Jaques Torres can do some of the most amazing things you will ever see with chocolate, so he rocks too. Tyler Florence makes good stuff and is generally pretty funny and down to earth. Pretty much the same for Jamie Oliver although I haven't seem him on much lately. Kylie Kwong is kind of annoying but the food she makes is so spectacular that I can look past the personality. Dave Lieberman is a little lacking in the personality department, but he makes good stuff on a budget.

Thats all I can think of right now.

Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

I like Tyler Florence as well but no one can beat Paula's home cookin, ya'll!

[kelel01 1]

I agree with everything you said; except, of course, where you slighted the love of my life.

Rachael Ray makes me wanna punch something with her manufactured hand movements. They're SO not natural.
