What the hell is that on the platter?

that hugh piffing whatisbollocks is famous for pantomine, serving up placenta, roadkill etc.

"I wouldn't even grace [Fanny Cradock's cooking] with 'food theatre,' it's food pantomime." Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is one to talk - having pulled stunts such as serving flambeed, pureed human baby placenta as a pate. NO "celebrity chef" or reality show chef has any room to criticize another for being gimmicky or courting publicity; and, like her or not - and lord knows, Fanny is a polarizing figure - Hugh should at least respect her for pioneering a genre from which he profits nicely.

@tjbnyc76 He is so rude. Seems like he is a real pain in the ass.

That guy talking from 1:28-1:50... What the hell kinda accent is that?

[apsara81cloud]

yes, madbax, I noticed the same thing; Wikipedia says he is an "anglo-american" and says this:

"His transatlantic accent reflects his Boston origins as well as the many years he has spent in the UK[11]. It sounds strange to many British people, as well as Americans, and is often the subject of parody"

[ra86226]

odd. I would call it a put on or affectation. Some accent he crafted. Its not Boston, not New York, not the "Thurston Howell" lock jaw. Just odd.

[malarbusto]

I reckon a mix of E.coast USA and S.E Britain, topped with a liberal dollop of double whipped self importance

@madbax68 Mid-Atlantic/British accent (dude was born in Boston but has British connections) quite funny

[brizzoke]

@delahuerta he sounds like dr evil

[willssta]

@madbax68 that's Loyd Grossman.. his accent is a complete anomaly in the UK! He used to present Master Chef. I think he may have had a transatlantic upbringing.
