From what I hear, not much money in the household and he was raised in a very very rough part of the UK, where you had to be a thug to survive. He's a genuinely tough guy, but also sensitive ((sigh!)).

Do you ever think that everything in nature seems to eat everything else for dinner - except us - for the time being? Would not the cycle be complete if some aliens developed a taste for us? Why should we be exempt?

Has this show been on for a while on BBC? I'm just wondering because I used to have a British dance partner who used to talk about a Gordon Ramsay show where he and his family raised animals as if they were pets, then slaughter them for a meal - and this was like 6 years ago! Sorry if this has been explained already, I didn't read through the posts.

Ok, I did a quick read through the posts and one post alludes to this being a show that's been on for a while. So maybe it has been on for at least 6 years. I've never even heard of it, so it must be on BBC TV. All I know is about my former dance partner talking about it, but I don't remember if he ever said the name of the show. I'll have to look for it. I'm a GR fan! BTW, chickens actually make great pets, if you raise them from a chick. I have parrots, and I refer to my sulphur crested cockatoo as a pet chicken.

I've seen the maggot cheese on one of Bourdains shows. UGH! No way. Wherever the show was filmed, it was a delicacy.

You would've liked the show I watched the other night with hubby, Twonk. It wasn't GR who said the "D" word but a chef and I just had to think of you!

I noticed, on the last show, they only showed one of her pigs getting shocked and then slaughtered while the others looked on. I think the third pig in the room probably saw what happened to the other two and made a bit more fuss. They say cattle slaughter houses are just horrible. I never read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, but someone told me it depicts the horrid conditions an animal faces in the slaughter houses.
