Chicken picking at feet

[Egluntyne]

there will be those who'll think it's funny

There might also be those who might think it a wheeze to try it out. We won't be leaping to his defense for resurrecting the recipe then.

you realise of course that posting it on here is bringing it to the attention of even more people.

Yes Poet, but the people on the forum are unlikely to follow the recipe.

I didn't see the show but will watch it tomorrow night.

 

However judging from what I have seen here is it not possible that he was trying to emphasise the differences in cookery & cruelty to animals between then & now?

Maybe in a roundabout way it shows how we have grown as a community of animal lovers who like to treat the animals who becomon our food with respect?

are you vouching for the sanity of every single person in cyberworld that happens upon this forum then Christian?

[Christian]

I would love to Poet, but doing a google search, it revealed 53,800 results for Heston Blumenthal. I don't think that out little 'chat' will have million of live chickens being eaten at the dinner table. Thank goodness.

do you think The Mail on Sunday article will?

No accounting for the sanity of some Mail on Sunday Readers

 

I have to say that I am with Poet on this one. If anyone actually sees this as advocating that sort of treatment then they are probably mentally disturbed in any event and would only think of some equally vile thing of their own accord!

Just so long as you know that we are not all mentally unstable

Some of us may even pass as 'normal' on a good day!

[jlo]

That's why I did say "some!" readers. I have been known to partake on the odd occasion myself. Not that I am suggesting that I am fully sane!

[Cinnamon]

- I know!

Who knows? I thought that we were discussing the forum?

...

Who knows? ...

 

I thought you did?

[Christian]

I was talking about the forum. You brought up the Mail. Stop picking on me. I might get upset.

[Guest]

I hate it because some people might think it's OK or funny to treat animals like that.

 

Exactly!

[Rhapsody]

How can you possibly get annoyed with him when he says this-

The most outrageous recipe I found was from an antique French cook book – although I’d be amazed if anyone actually made it

at the beginning ..?

I think all this fire and damnation would be better brought upon Foie Gras, not an 18thCentury dish that may have never been served!

[Egluntyne]

Here's another one courting controversy. **Here** Rather at variance with his green credentials.

 

No-one in the UK actually needs to eat this kind of thing.

 

No-one needs to eat Foie Gras either though when you come to think of it.

Can't bear the man, sorry, I know lots on this forum rate him highly. I think he's a prat.

 

Just to be clear - I mean Hugh F-W no-one else.
