My issue with Jamie's School Dinners was that the healthy foods were introduced all at once, seriously disrupting the children's (unhealthy) meal habits. Yes, it was a change for the better, and it needed to be done. But I think that doing it all in one day caused more drama and upset (for the cameras) than was really needed.
I like watching Jamie at Home when I can, but why does he have to pile food so high?! I don't like my meals standing 6 inches tall on my plate. And do all the ingredients have to be best mates? What if Mr Tomato doesn't really get on all that well with Ms. Bacon but I want them to at least tolerate each other for the time it takes to eat my sandwich?
As for Gordon, well.. I'll let him tell me
how to cook any day. But until he pays my grocery bills, what I cook and where I buy it from is none of his business. To propose that restaurants who don't serve local & seasonal is just silly. He might have meant well when he came up with the idea, but once that man's mouth gets started..
