Jamie Oliver Tells Countrymen What to Put in Their Mouths, Puts Foot in Own
Jamie Oliver, a frequent Crispy target for his nannying ways, is at it again. This time the paunchy mushmouth has seen fit to take on his fellow Brits, calling them drunken laggards who don’t know a good meal from a bad one because, well, they’re drunken laggards, reports the Telegraph:
This time the cook, who made his name as The Naked Chef in the late 90s, has turned his fire on everything from the paucity of British cooking to binge drinking.
In an interview in the latest edition of Paris Match magazine published in French, Oliver contrasts the country with France, where old fashioned cu[s]toms are still observed.
Oliver even claims that he had found a better range of food in African slums than in his home country, where people were more interested in getting “drunk in pubs” than eating well.
Oliver is looking to combat these problems (the ones in England, not Africa) by–amongst other things–launching an effort “to ban pies from football grounds,” an effort that’s earned the ire of punters everywhere. And he’s faring no better in commentators’ eyes, either. In fact, it seems that only the nefariously opinionated celebrity watcher Perez Hilton is unable to formulate an opinion about Oliver’s latest shenanigans.
Crispy on Jamie here. Jamie cracking ill-received Holocaust jokes here. Commentators tired of “being lectured at by a celebrity chef on yet another crusade” here. More Oliver acting foolish here. Still more bad press here.
