It's enough to make a person feel sick!

Television cooks doing disgusting things IMHO which make me wonder if they do that when we are watching God help us who eat their food when they are not being watched.....

1. Egg white separated from the yolks through the fingers - and this after the cook has shaken hands with other people and the hands in other places. Also fingers over the top of the bottle of oil and also vinegar to make a sprinkle :(

2. The tea towel kept in the cook's jean's pocket over his bottom and brought out to wipe the bench and THEN to make the plate look clean wiping around the food :(

3. Using hands to mix everything - I realise to make meatballs/scones this is necessary but to mix cakes and other things seems they just want to feel like kids with finger painting :(

4. placing every bit by hand on a plate to serve rather than using a utensil and this after having done goodness knows what with said hands.

I have quite a few more lol but others have their pet peeves I am sure, so look forward to hearing of them also.

I agree Phyl after watching Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay on TV.



Once you get past the swearing and look into the condition of most kitchens of restaurant businesses in financial strife and see the gross filth, cockroaches, rotten food etc.



It makes me wonder whats going on in restaurant kitchens here in our country and its enough to stop me eating out.

Yes I agree with Phyl--some dreadful things they do--also Hotel cleaning staff--makes you shudder

there is one on TV that has nasty fingernails ,they never look clean and also bitten yuk :roll:

Who is that and what channel ?

He owns restaurants and is on the Lifestyle channel.

Reminds me of a fish and chip owner when I was a child, he had a finger missing,told he lost it in the chip chopper, I was always scanning my chips very carefully for that finger.

I don't have pay TV and I don't know who he would be

You have never watched Gordon Ramsay Jane? He says the F*** word over and over and over in front of everyone..

He goes to Restaurants going bad and he tries to get them going and making a go of it again.

Some of the Restaurants are SO dirty they have had to close them to clean them up before they could even contemplate making them a place to eat in. Cockroaches yes, mice yes, filth yes, outdated food yes, mould all over the place and just common old dirt piled high with the grease disgusting.

One place kept using old oil and just tipping new in on top of the old and that is downright dangerous and disgusting.

I watch so many chefs wipe their nose with the backs of their hands and then go arrange pieces of meat and veg. on people's plates.

I also always thought waitresses and cooks/chefs were supposed to keep their hair off the face but so many have hair waving all over the food and how many hands keep pushing their hair back to the extent some hair looks very greasy :



Last night was the last episode in this series on chanel 9..............

**There will be a new series starting on chanel 7 from Tuesday 8th of this month at 10 p.m. called "Ramsay's Boiling Point"

Worth a look Jane.......

Oh yes I have watched that Ramsey bloke--but he doesn't appeal to me--I am not into dramatics at all

Likewise, I dont watch Ramsay......I find him to be a foul-mouthed bully and a hypocrite.......did anyone see the reports on the state of hygiene in the restaurants he owns?

did anyone see the reports on the state of hygiene in the restaurants he owns?

No never saw those--BOY he would have something to answer to then--he is so fast on pulling others into line about the same thing
