One of my not so guilty pleasures
I get pretty bored with reality shows. How many "pretty people can date each other while trapped in a deserted area of the world while being filmed and watched every moment of their lives" shows can we have? When it comes to the food we put in our bodies, it starts to get interesting. I have mixed feelings about watching footage of the seedy underbellies of our local eateries. But, I love to see Gordon Ramsay tear 'em up on his Kitchen Nightmares show. The Hell's Kitchen uber-chef is a hellian with a heart of gold, tearing up unsanitary cooking conditions while building up chefs into the leaders he knows they can be. I started looking up info on Chef Ramsay's vast culinary empire. WOW!! I looked up menu offerings for one of his pubs. Most of the items were fishy items that I would not care for, or know what to do with. But, the most interesting offering I found on any of the menus read as follows:
BRAISED GLOUCESTER PIG CHEEKS WITH MASHED NEEPS I have no idea what that is, but it sounds really cool!!! What on earth is a neep???? I would love to go his restaurant sometime, but I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Haute cuisine for me is P.F. Chang's once a year if I am lucky. Something to aspire towards I guess. Until that time, I will satisfy my longing for the Ramsay by watching weird clips of him on youtube, verbally abusing, well, everybody. He's scary, but you gotta love him!
