battle of the sexes

[Asteeleleith]

Hi all

I have to for once disagree with gordon ramsey, after seeing hi in the F word.

Please tell me it is crap that more men cook than woman. In fact more woman do not know how to cook than men, so gordon claims

I know the man is an accomplished male shauvenist, but surely there can be no foundation to this

Your views please

Hi,

Cannot really answer this one on a personal note, as both me and my husband can both cook and bake (but that's our biz :D )

Having many staff over the years, I have found that most younger ones cannot cook (male or female). I once had to show a 19 yr old how to fry an egg and another one how to make stew. I blame the microwave and busy life styles, parents are not at home as much to teach their kids how to cook.

I do think Mr Ramsey is a rude man and oftern talks out of his bum :lol: Delia Smith could wipe the floor with him :D

How do you fry an egg? Could you also show me how to make toast without it emerging black from the toaster?

[Asteeleleith]

You can all laugh people, though i am not so bad now but i needed once to call me dear mum for advise on scrambling an egg. :-(

you are right janye about gordon ramsay. As i say my cooking hero if i have one is Jamie Oliver. His recipes make no bloody sense to me, but i like his style. :-)
I will never forget Gordon Ramsey tricking that Veggie into eating meat in Devils kitchen.

Fry an egg....stick in frying pan with some oil, flick fat over with a flat flicky implement, until your egg is cooked (Don't forget to light the Gas ring)...make sure all the snotty bits have gone :lol:

See none techy answer!


And toast, turn your toaster down :lol:

I am a male and I can cook...

Anyone can cook if they can be bothered to learn :D

the poll should have options for those that can cook

I'm a reasonable cook but my husband taught me how to do a fantastic roast chicken.

My son, who isn't three until February, does some form of cooking nearly every week at pre-school. The kids love mixing things but they also learn about measuring and maths.

I have to say that im Male and can cook, but i used to be a chef :P

Gordon Ramsey is COMPLETELY correct in his statement that most of the people in commercial kitchens are male. I reckon about 90% of chefs are male, and ive found that most women under about 30 just cant cook.

So yeah, i agree 100% with Gordon Ramsey, oh and as for Delia, ive never seen a bigger space cadet in my life.

This reminds me of a joke I once heard...

Q. How many men does it take to change a light :idea: bulb in a kitchen :?:

Oh and dread....Don't you be dissing our Delia, I wouldn't mind being a penny behind her (wouldn't want the football team though) :lol:
