Heavy on the butter and milk, mind, and you can open a restaurant and have a Michelin star within the week!

Yes!  Proper mash though, not that runny French excuse for it.

Only just found this out; very surprised it didn't get more coverage:

 

Farmhouse Kitchen cook Grace Mulligan died in July  aged 91. Obviously a well-known name in Yorkshire, I think by the time Grace took over presenting in 1983 Farmhouse Kitchen was syndicated across all the regions.

* reason for posting despite him not being a chef as such, is for fucktards like me who haver never heard of the word and to save them Googling it.

 

Its yer wine waiter basically, wiki has " Sommeliers Australia states that the role is strategically on par with that of the chef de cuisine."

 

Aye right then.

Aye and Barista for a bloke who works a coffee machine. 

 

Customer: "I'd like a tea please"

Maitre'd*: "I'm sorry sir. perhaps you'd like a  coffee from the barista or a wine from the sommelier? Unfortunately it's the bampot's day off.

 

 

*Don't even start me.

I just assumed a Sommelier was a black East African chef when I saw it ninja.gif

 

 

* which would have been the perfect strapline for Algrens death.

I'm quite hopeful about the prospects of seeing a Sommelier on my 2019 deadpools, actually...

Based on her prognosis of just a few months ago, it appeared like she'd be around most of 2019 and either go late this year or maybe hang on until early 2020.  Seems much less likely now.

In which case, congrates to Willz, who was adamant Fairlie was going to make the Drop 40, and jokered him.
