heh.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, if it's simply that the chap is a 'ginger idiot' because it takes him '2 weeks to prepare dinner', then my opinion of you is that you are either a school child, or mentally deficient.

Still WHY

Because the art of fine food is about satisfying all the senses.

All the senses hmmm I would like that. The sight and smell is to stimulate the apatite and the eating is to satisfy, green glowing jelly with vibratos hang out I can’t see where that fits in, may be its not for eating and its for fun with the partner

tv guide review said he was cooking something [can't rememeber the name of it] that was the front half of a pig grafted onto the rear half of a chicken, which he got a plastic surgeon to do for him. unless this is a series?

Maybe I was very drunk but I missed that bit!

It is a series. Next week is a medieval banquet with the focus on meat, so I'd guess it will be on that one.

Why does anybody spend £130 a head - never mind extortionate wine price's - on one meal?

When I cook something special (I do all the cooking in my house), I'll go out & buy a £30 fillet of beef, Monkfish or even the makings for a jolly nice Thai meal. I can feed 6 with a fantastic meal for £40 - then nice wine on the current supermarket deals.

It's beyond me, but it's predominantly "company" money - to impress. That just doesn't cut the ice anymore. If a company wants my business & the CEO/Sales Director (Etc.) invites me to their own home for dinner then no matter how crap the meal - I appreciate the effort rather than the open chequebook.....
