Give me a Hairy Biker anyday. They do let you know what's gone into the dish and if you don't like some of what is on offer then you don't have it or don't cook it. There standard might not be quite as high as Gordon Ramsey in cheffing terms but I can't imagine them being dishonest about added ingredients either. Most of the dishes originate from family kitchens and with a few recipes of the bikers thrown in it makes a good programme and without one bitchy comment throughout.

Gordon Ramsey is definitely past his entertainment value now. The bad language was just sensationalism at the time and it really is past it's sell-by-date now. From the past threads (luckily I didn't see the programme) but tricking someone into eating something that they normally wouldn't is not clever. An ex did the same thing with venison sausages and he knew that I had a thing about not eating it but he was so full of himself that he had to prove a point, manipulative bully.
