I don't just throw things together willy nilly. Why, that would be foolish!I remember as a student I'd mix up a can of Heinz beans and a can of tuna, heat it up. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. You"re meant to do it with corn beef. With some grated cheese and on toast, it's a surprisingly filling and tasty meal. I still make it occasionally. |

Well it is different. The corn beef melts and forms a sort of very thick sauce with the beans. Tuna would just be...well tuna in beans. There'd be no synthesis!

Oh I never just throw things together. I was watching Marco Pierre White (I like watching proper chefs cook, it's relaxing to me) and he was slagging off current chefs (this was around 1989 mind) for using all these stupid combos rather than traditional flavour combinations. They work therefore why fuck with them?
I was like "yeah, marco, you tell 'em".
I then bought some Knor stockpot for some reason. Dunny why.

The other day my boy said "can I have marmite on my greek yoghurt?"
I said "I don't think that's advisable"
He went "Well that's YOUR opinion"
Afterwards I tried it (just greek yoghurt alone) and in his defence it was fine.

I will sometimes put things together, sometimes you're dictated by what you have in the cupboard or what you have to use up in the fridge. Obviously I won't put together things that are clearly unsuited to each other. It's usually a slight variation on something I've done before, but sometimes you find a slight change or tweak really makes the dish.

Greek yoghurt and marmite.
Sorry, I should have said that he wanted marmite with his greek yoghurt and weetabix.

I think he lost his credibility to tell others about cooking with all those youtube clips of him using bloody Knorr in anything he cooked. |

I still like him though. he's refreshingly bullshit free and old school. |

Funny, there is an organic butcher/farm nearby that has a huge picture of White (and his books), he stares down from the wall with his intense crazed look. Hey, as the chef who made ramsey cry he should have lasting fame, at least in the US. |

Oh he's intense. I wouldn't fuck with him in a kitchen!
And, yeah, apparently Ramsay was crying like a baby. It's a high pressure environment, isn't it, so maybe easier to meltdown.

well, white probably learnt under old school French/British chefs who were fit throwers, drunks, who threw things, pots, pans, knives, who thought of nothing of hitting, slapping, within a rigid hierarchal kitchen caste system that required hundreds of hours of task work to move from one position to the next, very different than today
