Is my memory correct on this - the only cooking show there used to be, was Fanny Craddock and her permanently pissed husband?

Here in Oz I'm sick of cooking shows - there's hundreds of them, with the presenter going "yomm" or 'beaudiful"

And it's not as if they often cook something you could copy: they say stuff like: "you need to add a dash of outer mongolian bindweed"

I switched off listening to her strange vocabulary when she described a pud coming out of the oven as having 'inner thigh wibble!' grin

It's not you, it's her! grin

I don't normally pop in here but I'm watching Nigella making a coffee meringue and she says she has been advised to use white wine vinegar, or in her words, 'I have it under advisement'......Is it me?
