Delia Smith is a humourless, opportunistic, grasping, and above all
uninspired cook, with no real passion for food. She produces bland
recipes for the masses and makes lots of money out of co-marketing with
supermarket chains et al. Give me the Two Fat Ladies any day - at least
they had a good sense of humour and enjoyed their food - I'm a vegan and
I still enjoyed watching their shows, while Delia makes me want to throw
something large and destructive at the TV set. The only time I've ever
called the BBC to complain about a TV program was when she did a show
featuring "vegetarian" dishes, one of which she gleefully added
anchovies to, FFS.
