Ram Ram Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay. Not on the list of my favourite personalities. But i like Hell's kitchen and Kitchen nightmares where he is the knight in shining apron, helping floundering restaurants get a fresh lease of life. But i don't like the fact that he peppers almost every sentence with the F word. It gets very tiring after a while.

As a part of the ongoing 'Indian Winter' on Channel 4, Gordon is on a culinary journey to India. And he took a break from the tried and tested touristy destinations and went to the North East - more precisely to Assam and Nagaland. We watched the 'north east' episode yesterday night. He went hunting in Nagaland and ate pork with dried bamboo shoots and venison. He went fishing in Assam and tried some Assamese fish delicacy.

i was hoping to see him visit Manipur. But hard luck. Maybe he heard we are a trigger happy society with a fondness for 'outsiders'.

Though i still hate his swearing, i like the fact that he is not afraid of trying out new things. i also like the fact that he seems to have only two t-shirts in the wardrobe he brought to India - blue and pink.
