I Was Just Following Hors D'oeuvres

Gordon Ramsay has illustrated an important modern truth – anything can be shouted or sworn into the public consciousness. Up to recently nobody I know gave a flying fuck about food or how its preparation must accord with some grand unwritten code of sophistication. But we are all by now obscenely familiar with the darkest practitioner of this very dark art Gordon Ramsay. It goes to show that our priorities will eventually align with those of anyone who wears a uniform, is granted plenty of air time, appears to have very little patience and communicates constantly in a raised voice. What will he have us doing next I wonder, because God knows we’re willing. Just say the word Gordon.
