Ramsey, get out of the kitchen and pack to your days wearing a drool cup.

Is Ramsay a witless moron, or what?

Just what fresh home-grown ingredients, I ask, would he have on hand to perform his culinary craft during the winter?

Does he want to return to the days when the term “English Cuisine” was a mocking oxymoron? Back to Shepherd’s Pie, is it?

And all that wonderful Indian vegetarian food — does Ramsay expect cooks to prepare Sag Paneer using spinach from a can?

Lord, spare us the wisdom of witless celebrities!

Yet another example of this creeping authoritarianism that taints our landscape. Asides from the fact that such a policy would probably be illegal as a form of protectionism for home producers, I object to anybody having the ability to ram his/her values down other peoples throats. If Ramsay wishes to eat local seasonal products, then good luck to him. He should not however, be entitled to dictate what other people consume. That is their freedom of choice - a freedom of choice the Ramsays of this world seem hell-bent on depriving us of.

Further more… did anyone happen to see that article in the observer last week. In reference to the man who was murdered to death by a troupe of vegetarians. The assailants repeatedly threw turnips, marrows and onions at the man who had been simply minding his own business tending his allotment when all of a sudden 7 masked vegetarians and one vegan jumped him from behind tied him to his deckchair and hurled the vegetables at him. my point being there is a lot of rivalry between vegetable lovers at the moment in the UK, so i think the last thing we need is to let these twisted people be able to get there hands on such deadly weapons all year round. the motive for the attack is still unknown police have questioned 2 suspects however. lets hope they get them

Ok Tom i appreciate that you use organic produce, obviously you could use more seasonal delicacies though such as plump quail in the Spring or succulent deer in the summer?

Sometimes i eat smoked Yorkshire Terriers legs, which I smoke myself in my fireplace in the bathroom. I use only organic wood chippings from local, sustainable forests.

Oh come on, Gordon might be in for a bit of publicity but he is right in the main, lets not shut out foreign produce as the world would be a poorer place and variety is the spice of life. Surely we can be sensible, buy local produce as much as possible and expect to pay a small premium for that bit of out of season variety. But get those food miles down, I blame the consumer closely followed by the supermarkets.
