My main one was (and still is) turnip. As a cook, I agree that a stew without turnip in it is missing something, so I make it with turnip. And then don't put any pieces of turnip in my portion. Being an adult rocks!

I get all excited when I see something I've never eaten before on a menu. The only thing is that sometimes I wish I knew what certain ingredients were, because I liked them.. and I'd feel too silly asking after I'd eaten my meal.

I wonder if all the dishes & ingredients in Gordon's restaurants will be local and seasonal from now on. He seems the sort who would make a change like that to support his own cause, which is a lot more worthy of respect than just mouthing off because you can..

Gordon is the sort to berate his customers who demand anything out of season.Anyway none of that would have worked on eldest born.You should have heard her when she discovered I'd been putting the water from the boiled veg into the Sunday lunch gravy.
