Oliver

I bought a jar of tomato and basil sauce the other day. Hopelessly endorsed by Jamie Oliver. Not that I've a problem with that, I actually quite admire the man. He makes cooking for the average Joe, none of this michelin star business for him and being honest, no one is full after a meal of that stuff.
How do I know it's endorsed by Jamie Oliver? Well it has his photo on it for starters. It also has a subtitle 'honest italian flavours' by which you know it's Jamie because no one else refers to food as honest. Do you have a dishonest flavour Jamie? Why lead me on with all this honesty stuff only to break my heart when I find all the kingly virtues (learned from Macbeth) are not present in your cooking? Shame on you.
As for this 'naked chef' business I'm pretty sure the nieghbours thought you were some pervert during barbeques.
And what's up with your name? I'm of a generation that has watched enough American tv to know that Jamie is a girl's name. Sort your life out.


That said the sauce is lovely.
