  1. You two must be feeling sick as sobakas with your unfashionable fresh ingredients and creative photography when all the hip cats are tipping mince out of tins and stamping frozen slabs of mash all over their pies. Could this be the end of yumblog??

  2. Hi Teenzzz, I’ve read between your lines and have cleverly deduced you are referring to Delia Smith’s latest TV show and bestselling book, ‘How to Cook at Cheating’. Have you seen the taste test in todays Guardian? I love the way the Wild mushroom risotto costings includes the £62 cab fare to and from the Isle of Dogs Asda.

    The end of yumblog? Nope. We’ll keep it going up until the end of the world – which as you know will be in about 4 years time.

    Best

  3. Hi there

    Well, clever you lot for just reading about it in The Guardian as your latest delish dish filled the atmosphere with freshly perked parsley while other poor sods sat through the Queen of Charisma opening tins and freeing pre-chopped veg from its hermetically sealed habitat. She had even changed her cooking environment from her formerly huge bright kitchen with great sweeping vistas of coiffed garden behind (which is one reason I used to sit through this in the past) to what seemed like a nasty kitchenette with terrible lighting. Not being able to get fresh ingredients is just nonsense. But what was simply silly (and I paraphrase from some journo somewhere) was that it attempted to be a cooking programme for people who aren’t interested in cooking. It’s got nothing to do with sticking up one’s nose at her attempts to teach the nation to cook cheaply. What tosh to say that to be cheap it needs to come from a tin. I bet your parsley soup didn’t set you back a Minsky bread van.

    Anyway, let’s at last willingly do something Soviet when it comes to cooking and declare Delia a non-person.
