Absolutely can't stand the Neely's. It's like they're still in high school, why do they think we want to be exposed to that! Did anyone else catch "What Would Brian Boitano (sp?) Make?" worst food network show ever? Don't know who thought giving him a cooking show just because he was an olympic skating medalist was a good idea.
Agreed. At that point, the entire network officially jumped the shark. Things have become pretty desperate when you have to get your ideas from South Park, and you are a freakin' cooking channel. Yikes.
I'm hoping that once they put the REAL cooking shows on Fine Living -assuming they are about REAL cooking-the ratings will shift over there and the owners will get the hint.
Giada doesn't even cook half the time. One time I saw her making brownies and she told the viewers to buy a box mix and then add nuts to make them your own. Uhm, do I need someone to tell me how to do this. Then another time she froze fruit juice in ice cube trays for punch. Really? You get paid for thinking up these ideas and broadcasting them? She insults my intelligance....
I looked it up. Paul Prudhomme is still alive! I wonder if he is still sitting on the office stool. His profile says he is credited with creating the Turducken.
**BIG Slap**
Oh! Here's his website! Sure enough, he's sitting down! Is it me or did he lose SOME weight?
I didn't think he was old enough to be around in the early 19th century!
The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the early 19th century (originally called a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal") - a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler.[4] The final bird is very small but large enough to hold just an olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds. It appears illegal to make today as some of the species are endangered.
Ballotine (nested bird roasts) have been around for quite a while, and well before 1983 Paul....BIG SLAP!!!!!
One that grated on my nerves was the woman who did a show with the gay guy .. around the lunch hr .. somebody jo .. maryjo? She used to drive me crazy .. drove me away from the show anyway.
