Yes his plan is over inflated but the ideal is not. In fact I'll be very interested to see what approach he takes next cos his inital plan won't work. I'm glad he's working with the burger lady cos she hits the nail on the head and in a typical Yorkshire way pulls no punches.
In fact my house mate and I said at the time Salmon is too expensive. Hence my rider of CHEAP meals. Jamie O has to make his meals a) dirt cheap b) dead simple. He admitts he's little idea how these people live and how they think but at least he's trying. Many people slated Delia for her last series but again I think people are missing the point. They are both trying to show people you can cook and it doesn't have to be hard or expensive.
As I recall I don't think he said take-ways where wrong. In fact I bloody love them but to live on them all the time is a health disaster waiting to happen (plus I can't afford it). I saw the little girl with her round shaped face and it made me sad. I see kids at my school eating crap and their poor behaviour as a result. I see over weight kids upset at them selves but yet every day they eat take-ways and junk food. Research has shown that kids in families who a) cook and b) make an effort to sit round the table together are less likely to suffer from weight problems (over and underweight ones).
Also we can't keep living the way we are (that includes eating). We are simply not gonna be able to afford it. I don't see how the cost of living and wages are gonna come more inline again. I really do believe that they won't for a while which means we're gonna have to pull together more as family and friends. So many people can't cook from basic ingredents.
We don't have to teach 2 others and them teach another 2 etc etc. If we all make a point of helping our friends who can't cook as well then we'll all be better off. When he's on about that little glow inside when you cook for others I know exacty what he means and it's one of the reasons I get so much pleasure from cooking for others.
