Feast your eyes
on the month’s best food programming
Broadmoor Food-Fight
Building
on the success of Poor People Can Cook Too, where
she taught funny little northern people how to make dinner,
Janie Media-Darling has found a yet-further marginalised and
malnourished sector of society: the criminally insane. Just
like those interchangeable northern towns where, bless them,
the locals couldn’t talk properly and probably still
watched black and white television, Broadmoor Food-Fight
is chock-full of scratchers and biters whose idea of a cooked
breakfast is a microwaved kebab. Of course, it’s a learning
experience for Janie too – over the next few weeks she’ll
be dicing her vegetables with a homemade shiv and tenderising
meat with a pool-ball in a sock.
Bangkok Dog Bake
With dog-eating in Thailand going the way of the dodo, it
looks like Angus and Jeremy’s road-trip might be at
an end. Fortunately, some loose-lipped chickboys spill the
beans on an illegal barbecue in Wang Thonglang. Pie-eyed on
diesel fumes, they also sample a local specialty: roach-fried
roadkill and styrofoam.
Britain’s Hardest Chef
Since last week's eventful quarter-final when John, the ladies'
favourite, knocked out the only remaining teenager with his
Le Creuset milk pan, it’s fair to say that the men are
now truly separated from the boys. But can John's intimidating
swearing compensate for his poor technical discipline and
lack of martial arts training? With his excellent dragon punch,
Ryu looks like the man to beat, but given his weak performance
with desserts and vegetarian options, anything could happen.
