The UK's Naked Chef Slams British Culture
Filed under: Anglophilia
One of Britain's own is fed up with the UK's boozing 'culture'.
Famous chef Jamie Oliver has given a candid interview to French publication Paris Match and he reveals his dismay that in his motherland, England, people were more interested in getting "drunk in pubs" than eating well.
When it was suggested by the French mag that the English can't savour food because they drink too much, Oliver responded:
"It's true. Historically we've never produced wine. We have a culture of alcohol and we're more beer orientated: the only people who drink more than us are the Irish and the Scottish."
The chef also said that the glory days of British cuisine were in the past:
"In the past British cuisine was similar to Italian cuisine nowadays, without the pasta and risotto. Steam cooking, grilled meat, herbs, spices - we used to cook fabulous dishes. It's all in the past! Unlike French people, and I regret it, we lost our traditions. In gastronomy, the world evolves and changes. And right in front of us, isolated from everything, you have France where nothing changes. It's not a judgement, it's an observation. In terms of grand restaurants, it seems to me that only one country competes with France, and that's Japan."
He also rails at some of his fellow Brits who splurge on material things and neglect 'food culture'. He gets worked up by the stat that 80% of the British do not even bother sitting round a table for dinner any more:
"It's true in the centre of London and in the big northern cities. It's linked to the new poverty. It's nothing to do with famine or war - quite the opposite. England is one of the richest countries in the world. The people I'm telling you about have huge TV sets - a lot bigger than mine! - they have state-of-the-art mobile phones, cars, and they go and get drunk in pubs at the weekend - their poverty shows in the way they feed themselves."
What do you think about the points he makes, Brits?

Re: Pillow – OMG LOL UR funny! I like you!
Actually Luxembourg, Ireland and Turkey drink more alcohol per capita than Britain. It's on the Economist website.
As a Brit I don't like him - he is an annoying twat who needs to mind his own business, and yes he is an ugly c**t with bad teeth
Arrrrrrrgh, I am British, I have nice teeth, that I look after. I know many British people with nice teeth. I also have seen alot of American people with fucked up teeth, so how about y'all brush yours!
I love Jaime Oliver and he is an amazing cook, I have 2 of his books and the dishes are delicious. Eating is one of the most basic, instinctual things we do as humans, I think he's making a point that people would rather spend money drinking alcohol then feeding themselves in a healthy way.
lmao, shame on you perez
Hmm… Maybe some day when find time for a THIRD job, I can afford to go out for fancy gourmet meals with Mr. Oliver,the French,and the Japanese. Until then I guess I'll just drown my sorrows in a pint with the rest of the over worked and stressed out people who are faulted for not having the energy to prepare five course meals after work.
He's totally right. Go Jamie!
oh, what should he do perez? go and get his teeth bleached like yours? at least his wouldnt glow in dark. get a grip and lose some weight your superficial fatso
He is right the British are a bunch of drunk, fighting, poo flinging monkeys with bad teeth, whose culture has become as retarded as ours here in America.
To all dumb Americans (and yes the rest of the world does, in general, think of you as a stupid population), Americans are fatter than the British, and probably most other countries in the entire world, so how can the British diet possibly be worse than yours?
I agree though, his teeth are pretty bad, even for a Brit, but straight white teeth on a big fat American aren't particularly attractive either
This from someone whose parents ran a pub where people went to drink. Hypocrite!
I'm sorry, but Jamie Oliver is friggin adorable. I love him.
Re: Pillow – fuck off motherlicker
he can fuck right off! sorry for cursing but how can he bang on about britiain not being inpoveridge when 1 in 3 kids in london live under the poverty line!
he can take all his money and his fat ass off my tv and stick his nose in his real life and not in a kitchen
Oliver is a great chef. His comments can also describe the state of affairs of American trashy consumers who all think they need the best cell phone and the biggest tv's. These same people have absolutely no taste when it comes to food and also are drunken fools or drug addicts. Just look at WeHo CA. It used to have great restaurants. Now it is a drug dealers paradise who drugged out queens and drunken Russians. Restaurants suck on the West Side.
He's not aging well.
Re: Miss B. Haven – Re: Miss B. Haven –
Maybe not, but maybe it is when you're so image obsessed that it doesn't matter what people say anymore, but how they look.
but doesn't matter anyway, least the majority of the world actually like the brits.
Re: lemonpye –
Fuck you, prickhead. We're talking about the English, not Americans. Can you not read, asshole?
Bunch of yankee twats! Over 60% of your population is clinically obese (sorry P-ski), you eat more shite food than anywhere on the planet (trans fats!!!) and you have the nerve to cap on the brits!! All you soft yankee poofs just want to be like us! We design your cars, your computers (Apple!) and tell you what music to listen to, and what clothes to wear so that you'll be cool, sort of, but fat!! Naff orf!!
Re: SK –
Urm, SK, are you stupid or something?
Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom! That's why it is called the Republic of Ireland. Duh.
Fuckin' thick eejit…
1)Yes a lot of people in England do drink too much, but not everyone
2)Not all food in England is horrible
3)A lot of families still do sit at a dinner table to eat together, but it's not always possible
4)We don't all have horrible teeth, thats just a stupid stereotype
5)Will people please stop insulting English people
Jamie Oliver is a twat. He had some good ideas about school lunches but now he's just being stupid. British drinking and food culture had ALWAYS been different to French drinking/food culture, and he even points out why!
And all those Britich people saying only "chavs" drink, do you have any idea how snobbish that makes you sound?
And all those non-British saying how we have crap food, it's called different culture. We don't like sloppy joes any more than you like sunday roasts. Some people on this blog are so backwards thinking it's insame.
British and damn proud!
I don't know how you Americans can even argee with this. We have Fish and Chips and you have Burgers and Fries. We are very similar in the food eating stakes!
I American and have been to England many times and I love it. Most of what you guys are saying is not true. Bad food in England and everyone having bad teeth is just a dumb sterotype, just like other countries stereotype Americans as dumb, which is far from true. England has some good dishs, but also others I wouldn't eat. The larger cities also borrow heavily from other cultures. There are a ton of GREAT Italian, Indian and Oriental resturants in London. As far as the teeth go, ya there are some with bad teeth just like anywhere. But basically the English aren't into cosmetic denistry and teeth whitening like Americans are. Like the pic above, those are just regular normal teeth, they just "appear" fucked up to Americans because they aren't all straighted out, capped and blinding white.
I am a brit and I must say… oh bloody hell!
What the hell does Jamie Oliver know about Northern culture? Stupid mockney.
And as for the rest, who the hell is he to tell us how to spen our money? If I wanna spend it on booze I bloody well will. It's not like we can spend it on good tatsing food since he managed to take it away from all our schools.
Dickhead.
The only way Jamie Oliver can get any press is to run his mouth and dis people. He's one step below Gordon Ramsey on the asshole scale, and 20 steps below him on talent.
This guy is a fantastic chef, so passionate about what he does. I believe anything he say's! You should watch his show on the food network. It's called "Jamie at Home."
This whole article is effed up Perez! Seriously, the Brits like a drink as much as the next person, but why are we all being hailed as the drunken delinquents of the world all of a sudden?! Every country has their fair share of douches/chavs but the Brits are getting a hard time of it on this site of late… not cool Perez! WE DON'T HAVE BAD TEETH (dumb stereotype. mine are perfect), we have some awesome food (I wont start on your McDonalds fried food shite. Perez, try venturing further than Pizza Hut next time you're here) and lets face it we all know the Brits can party like no one else… we own the session. The Brits are good fun and we enjoy ourselves (this is not including the chavs that let us down from time to time), but at least we're not as prejudiced and straight-laced as the rest of Europe! The Germans, French, Spanish, they can all drink their fair share they just don't like to admit it.
Its still one thousand times better than American food.
Americans are so poor, theres millions of people on the street ive never seen so many. And some places are full of deserted shops, someone needs to clean up.
Just cos we dont fry all our food doesnt mean it tastes bad.
The symbol of the subtlety of British cuisine: a bottle of HP sauce.
’nuff said.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE IN THE UK HAS BAD TEETH??
LIKE THE CELEBRITIES DON'T HAVE THE MONEY?????????
I agree that there is a binge drinking problem in england, but sitting round the table for dinner doesnt mean we're loosing our culture, and has nothing to do with consumerism. It's just how some people prefer to eat.
And, since when did the standard of british food become so high that jamie felt it could be compared with italian cuisine? Dont get me wrong, I love a good steak and kidney pudding, or sunday roast, but I doubt that our food is or really ever was that great. And with more and more cultures joining our country each year, of course our eating habits will change. (which is a good thing of course).
Come on jamie, our national dish is fish and chips….just because you're a chef doesnt mean we all have to be.
Re: Pillow – another fucking idiot like the rest that seem to think one person and one picture says the whole of britain have bad teeth. its a shame this is the only comment that most of your stereotypical brains can work with. and i'd really like to know what perfect place your from, cause if its the places i'm thinking you cant turn corners without seeing a fast food place so you, you're "people" and your food aren't so great either.
and whats with whoever said "have you seen their people" yeah i've seen their people, and the problem is they wouldnt say nothing like this to you, shame is theyd welcome you if you'd go to england and its "people" like you who make our british drunks handy. are you like this when it comes to genders? races? gays? when you try to be clever is that what comes out your mouth then "their people" like their all not apart of this place, just you are right, you have fun with that open mind of yours.
Re: aryssabrooke – you're a moron.
jamie oliver is not the all seeing eye in britain. He's a food fanatic, of course he's going to exaggerate when he talks about the state of childrens health.
And england have never had great cuisine, I mean sure it's nice, really nice, but it's nowhere near as good as italian. and never has been. it's a myth, like when people talk about the good old days that never really existed.
Next time you're in england, take a trip to london and visit porters in covent garden. Best british food i've ever tasted. best restaurant i've ever been to. and i'm not even a pure brit.
Re: SK –
The United Kingdom is a union of four constituent countries - England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales - The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom. And trust me - Scots do not consider themselves English - they consider themselves Scottish.
Oh my god….why do you people think that all brits has shite teeth? Have any of you ever even been to Britain..to be fair most fuckwit americans dont even own a passport so im guessing not.
Were not arsed about having our teeth whitened and bleeched n cosmeticaly straightened the way you all do its ridiculous how you think we all have shit teeth, yeah some people do, but alot of americans do too. get over ya sterotypes
Jamie Oliver rocks! I have been a fan of his for many years. He is articulate, witty, embracing of other culinary cultures, a teacher and someone who freely gives of his time and talent to give disadvantage kids a chance to learn a skill and make cooking not just a potential career but a passion.
Re: KatieGhurl – What are you talking about? Preposterous! In more than 20 years I've NEVER heard anyone farting in a restaurant in France. Totally uncalled for and ridiculous comment
Re: I luvDrgQns – YOU ROCK TOO MY FRIEND!
AMERICA is a Melting Pot…which means we have the cuisine of many different nationalities here. Pretty much it's that way in GB as well, now. Doesn't mean you can't eat healthy there or here if you wish. You just have to want to, that's all.
Jaime Oliver probably is a great chef and a wonderful person. I just don't think I have ever seen a person with so MANY teeth….I think I have seen sharks that have about that many teeth….hehe!
Living in America I find that people obsess over the weirdest things that truely don't matter an iota in the grand scheme of things. It seems that people use those Crest White Strips or any other tooth whitening to excess, and they almost compete with each other to see who can get the whitest teeth…truely moronic. Nobody is born with teeth that white. Plus they put braces on kids at young ages and then leave them in too long so that their teeth actually go IN instead of being straight and it is ugly and it is just plain stupid looking!
Orthodontics is a big fucking business here…welcome to capitalism run amok!
Soy Boricua!! I'm a Puerto Rican American living in England and I can tell you from experience that the ENGLISH have no taste when it comes to food and COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!! IT ALL SUCKS!!!!! DESPERATE FOR ANYTHING GOOD, I even tried McDonald's and KFC and KFC should be ASHAMED of themselves for allowing the English to have franchises here becuz they HAVE F**KED IT UP!!!!!
You think HIS TEETH ARE BAD?!!!!! That's the norm for the English!!!!
What do you expect from a people who pronounce jalapenos as Ja La Pee Nos, Tack O's and tor till as?
Re: becksss123 – Mostly the chavs? Get FREAKING REAL!!!!!!!!! You ENGLISH and that means ALL OF YOU, HAVE NO TASTE WHERE FOOD IS CONCERNED AND 95% OF ALL OF YOU WANKS HAVE BAD TEETH!!!!!
Re: Pillow – I never drank until I moved to the UK!! Before I married my english husband, I drank maybe 6 bottle of Becks the year before I met him, now I can down that in 1 hour!!!! It sucks living here!!!
Re: lemonpye – IF IT WASN'T FOR US, (AMERICA) YOU'D BE SPEAKING FUCKING GERMAN!!!!!!!!FUCK OFF WANKSTAIN!!!!!
I totally agree with Jamie, drink is more important in this country that food! Shame! i d much rather spend my money going out for a good meal than wasting my money getting so drunk that i cant remember the evening! fair enough when you're young but people are still getting smashed well into their 40s over here!
Re: pinkindie – Proved the point entirely - thick American wanker.
Re: Her_Royal_Maj – Are you FREAKING SERIOUS?!!!!!! You bloody brits blame all the bad on the so called chavs!!! YOUR WHOLE COUNTRY IS TO BLAME FOR BAD FOOD AND FUCKING BAD TEETH!! YOUR COUNTRY HAS NO TASTE WHATSOEVER WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD OR COFFEE!!!!! I am sick to death of people like you for blaming the ills of your country on CHAVS!!! Do you honestly think that people like you are better than those who have to do without?!!!! From my experience, those without are THE MOST GENEROUS!!
Your NHS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! I wait till I can home to California to be seen by a Dr or dentist becuz your country is so outdated in medical and dental care. FUCK SAKES, you don't even flouridate your water which accounts for 95% of your countrymen for having FUCKED UP TEETH!!!!!!!!! AND THE ONLY THING RICH IN YOUR COUNTRY IS THE RAIN THAT MAKES YOUR COUNTRYSIDE LUSH AND GORDON BROWN!!!!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR AMERICA YOU WANKSTAINS WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN!!!!!
For Gods Sake…his comments are completely stereotypical and bear no relation to the truth whatsoever.
The line I hate the most is the one about 'the only people who drink more than us are the Irish and the Scottish'. Jamie is looking only at ancient stereotypes - his comments aren't based in fact, nor are they factually accurate. There is no way in hell that the Irish and the Scottish drink more than the English. They have a culture of drinking in that they are both big whisk(e)y producers, but in England they binge drink like mad - I read about a girl in England who drinks 36 shots of vodka a night!!
British cuisine isn't brilliant, but it's sure as hell better than American cuisine, so at least we aren't the worst in the world.
Re: Hate Low Class People – NO YOU DIDN ENT!!!!!!!!!! I AM A NATIVE BORN AND RAISED IN CALIFORNIA!!!!!!! And from my experience, FOOD COOKED IN THE GHETTO will ALWAYS BEST ANY FOOD COOKED IN ENGLAND!!!!!! You FUCKING WANKSTAINS HAVE NO IDEA OF TRULY FRIED CHICKEN, TRUE BURRIOTOS, OR TACOS, AND YES IT'S TA COS NOT TACK O'S!!! Y'ALL HAVE BAD TEETH BECUZ Y'ALL EAT SHIT!!!!! Y'ALL JUST SUCK!!!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR AMERICA Y'ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN WITH YA BAD TEETH!!!!!!
ive never een mad on our food, mostly coz im a veggie
Hmm…i'm sure he doesn't have a big TV and the latest mobile phone! I agree with some of the things he says but he is making some big generalizations. I have a big TV, latest mobile, I cook meals from scratch and eat at the table…I'm also at the pub most weekends! What's the big deal.
And the reason we don't have a big wine growing culture here is because we don't have the climate or the space…come on Jamie!
Re: MakeItRayn – we have the nhs. btw everyone you're going on 'they all' do this and 'they all' do that. everyone is different i dont assume all americans are obese mcdonald's eaters so i think you can do us the same curtousey
Re: georgiad[/[re=2798719]Re: georgiad – When I began reading your comment, I as in total agreement with all you had to say! Then I got down to the part where you said that British food was better than American food!!! ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REAL?!!!!!!! Your country is world renowned for having the worst food!!!!!!!!and the WORST TEETH!!!!!!! You have no idea what REAL CHOCALATE ice cream is!!!! and FUCK CORNWALL ICE CREAM!! Give me Baskin Robbins ot Coldstone ANYDAY!!!!!!!!!
We gave you McDonalds and KFC and you managed to EVEN FUCK THAT UP!!!! DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED!!!!!! YOU FUCKING ENGLISH HAVE NO Taste whatsoever when it comes to food and fucking coffee!!!!!!!!! You say all Americans are FAT due to our food consumption?!!! Dude. y'all got dome fucking FATASS peeple here I've yet to see in AMERICA!!!!!!! If it wan't for us y'all be speaking german!!!!!!

Whats the point in allowing for comments to be left when most people leaving messages sound deranged?
[re=2797110]Re: Uker[/Biatch I'd like to see you make q public comment like this is Oakland, California, WE'D REAM YOU A NEW ASSHOLE!!! FUCKING ENGLISH CUNT!!!!
I'm American and I live in the UK and have done do for the last 4 yrs. Not all Brits have bad teeth, in fact, my husband has a better smile than Julia Roberts and he's British. How Americans can sit there and take the piss out of British people for eating or hygienic habits is beyond me. When you order a drink here they do not offer you a BUCKET of cola or fried chicken. US is well known as the biggest fat ass nation on the planet. You won't need to use your teeth to eat if you are confined to your bed because you are so severely obese!
Re: EveMarie – Your countrymen are WORLD RENOWNED FOR HAVING BAD TEETH!! NUFF SAID!!!!!!
Sad but true. I am a 27 yr old British girl and although I was brought up to always eat at the table with the television off this is indeed a rarity. J.O. is right. Us Brits need to start eating together as this is such a good way to interact with your family on a daily basis and see what is going on in each others worlds. I truly believe something as simple as this could have a huge impact on the youth culture that is causing us so many problems now.
Re: caseyprinc[re=2798753]Re: caseyprince – BITCH!! HOW DARE YOU KNOCK US!!!!Your husband having the best smile this side of Julia Roberts is a rare and far in between!! You must have him floss and brush with toothpaste with floride!!!!!!!! Cuz THERE AIN'T NO WAY HE COULD HAVE WITHOUT!!!! SHAME ON YOUR FUCKING ASS!!! YOU'VE GONE OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!!!!! SHAME ON YOUR FUCKING AMERICAN ASS!!!!!
Re: Neya – From your pointless, repeated ranting posts it is quite clear you are an inbred retard. Sweetheart, you are proving the stereotype that Americans are uneducated fools right. So please stop repeating yourself, we don't need your point reiterated ten times. May I also suggest some type of anger management?
If I had teeth like him I'd definately become a major stockholder in Crest WhiteS!! Bottom line? Y'all brits suck when it comes to FOOD, TEETH AND COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: OhMyDayssss – UH NOT SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT!!!!!!!!!
I may not be british but I do live in the UK and I agree with him. Drinking is completely enmeshed in this culture. As for food, there are some really nice traditional dishes here although mainly things like curries and pizza are hugely popular. I've had some amazing british desserts.
Re: wagwanna – WAGWANNA? GET REAL!! YOU ALL SUCK!!!!!!
Re: Kimoto7 – If you cared to actually read what I've said in previous posts you fucking retard, I am in fact Scottish, but wow, thanks for the heads up, knobjockey.
Re: aryssabrooke –
I completely agree 100% with aryssabrooke. I am puzzled at why people who dont live here in the UK disagree. I dont comment on what its like to be an American. And pretend to understand why you do the things you do, like why you voted in a war criminal…..
to start with, the people who are claiming that all british people eat is curries or takeaways should take a look into their own cultures…because fast food seems to be part of the cultural identity of the usa and accounts for the reknowned appalling american diet and vast levels of obesity that even the british can't compete with.
secondly it's naive to even try to stereotype the british as all having terrible teeth. like people have said, sure some do have bad teeth, but i'm pretty sure there are people all around the world who do too.
finally, the people who have the nerve to criticise a culture they know nothing about is just stupid. yes we may be different, but it's not like i'm sitting here bashing americans for some of the things that they do differently.
regarding the nhs…hey at least we have free health service, and what the fuck do you know about it not being up to date or whatever is said in these comments?
and btw, on a sidenote directed to 'neya' how can you try and start a credible argument if it consists of bad spelling and repetitive shite. it's CORNISH ice cream not CORNWALL. learn some grammar and then maybe you won't sound like such a racist idiot.
i had to live on £10 a week last month - i'd like to see jamie try that!
Re: Neya – Yes, every British person "sucks", as you so intelligently put it. How old are you, let me guess, 5, 6?
Jamie Oliver is a downsy retard who does nothing more than dribble in his slop with his oversized juju lips. Gordon Ramsay needs to beat that boy's arse raw.
well i am british and i agree with jamie, too much time is spent in the pub by alot of people. not all british are like this though!
he is hot
Re: Neya –
My god woman,…what do you do all day just sit around reading what everyone else has written and reply TO EVERY SINGLE COMMENT are you trying to say you dont like england…becasue my god fuck right back off to wherever you came from because we can do without fucktards like you living in england.
also how dare you say we would be all speaking german without the americans…..you fuckers didnt even enter the war til the last minute because your shit country was isolationist so why dont you take that stance up again it suited yas better when ya wernt trying to interfere with other peoples countries. gan back if ya love it that much.
Re: Michelle LL – Of all the comments that I have read and replied too, yours by far sums it up!!! There is no cuisine in Britain, JUST FUCKING SLOP!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Neya –
You have some sort of problem, like a real problem against British people.
You should probably go to jail, in some countries it's called racism.
Re: ELL – FUCK OFF BITCH!!!! You've some nerve accusing me of racism!!!!!!!!!! I am far from anglo you STUPID CUNT!!! In other words I ain't some STOOPID WHITE CUNT!!! I AM STRAIGHT UP A NIGGA FROM THE HOOD WHO HAS BEEN LIVING YOUR FUCKING STOOOPID AND SUFFERING EVERYDAY BECUZ YOU FUCKING CUNTS DON'T KNOW SHIT!! ABOUT FOOD, COFFEE AND THEN HAVE THE FUCKING NERVE TO BLAME IT EVERYTHING ON YOUR COINED WORD "CHAVS"!!! FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING ENGLISH CUNT!!!!!!!!!
Re: Princess.Sparkle – TYPICAL ENGLISH CUNT IN DENIAL!!!!!!
Re: Neya – You really have problems. Seriously. I would go to a psychologist or something. No, make that psychiatrist. You need medication.
Re: wagwanna – Your username says IT ALL!!!! ENGLISH CUNT!!!!
Re: Neya –
Seriously love ya need to get a reality check…why are you actually here if you hate it that much gan back to "the hood" or wherever n gan stew in ya shit over some other issue.
you say im a typical english cunt in denail, your a typical american DC in denail
Re: wagwanna – Believe me, if I thought that your fucked NHS provided QUALITY MEDICAL CARE I would be first in line for shrink counselling! BUT they don't!!! We Americans think we're better BECUZ WE ARE!!!!!!
Re: Princess.Sparkle – Denail?!!!!! FFS at least spell it right!!! It's DENIAL FUCKTARD!!!!!!!! LOL
Im soo annoyed at the 'naked chef' he used to be good and have good programmes on the television, now hes just trying to stir up drama to get back in the British papers, also he is soo trying to sook up to the French. Im from Scotland and i am not happy how he is portraying us as a drunken, fat society that has no clue about good food, whatever Jamie.
Re: Neya – Not better at grammar or spelling, evidently. Yes, please go back to the hood and work on getting shot at by the lovely hoodrats you have living over there.
Re: Neya –
Im loving your comebacks darlin ya still cant answer the question though why are you actualy in england in you hate it that much? you just skirt around it and then abuse someone else!
your a true gem indeed DC
Re: wagwanna – well said!!
sorry? whats this? I was in the pub binge drinking and eating crap…
as a girl that grew up in La and moved to London, I have learned 2 things here in England, how 2 drink and how 2 fight, I have no complaints though, England rocks we get pissed and have fun, whatever, english food has never been that great in the first place.
What a bloody cheek! He talks about boozey brits! My boyfriend works at a part time acoustic music venue that is actually also a working church. The strict rule is that you can drink alcohol in the bar upstairs but no booze in the church. Everyone is told this but during a charity gig who was the one fucker who couldn't observe that rule and respect the building??? JAMIE BLOODY OLIVER??? He sat in his celeb-box with his cronies and none of them could stop drinking even for a short while to respect a bloody sacred building!!!!! Even if you are not religious (i am not) you should respect the rules! Well that pisshead and his RUDE friends could not. Don't listen to him people. There is plenty of lovely places to eat in England, like anywhere in the world you just have to know where to go.
It's true. Sorry to say. The Brits attack everyone. They're obsessed with identifying people by their nationality first, or race. They're senteces start with "you Yanks" or "those damn French" or what ever. Just look at Jamie's quote — he had to insult the Scotish and Irish by saying they drink more than the Brits. Do they? Funny, all the news I'm seeing lately puts that honor squarely on the English. With the Brits, they miscall everyone and they're always right. Point out one of their short-comings and it's all lies. Fact is, from what I've experienced lately, they're universallly detested. Maybe more than Americans seem to be.
Mishhh says – What a bloody cheek! but during a charity gig who was the one fucker who couldn't observe that rule and respect the building??? JAMIE BLOODY OLIVER??? He sat in his celeb-box with his cronies and none of them could stop drinking even for a short while to respect a bloody sacred building!!!!! ^^^
Uhh, newsflash. If you take the time to read, he never said he didn't drink, did he? Nope. But your response is so typical of the Brits. Always find some lame bullshit reason to deflect and try smear someone. Hence why you're all a bunch of drunks…because of ENABLERS like you! Lol!
