I've just finished reading a book that may explain this insipid celeberity craze that is even taking over Market Kitchen recently (not counting TR and TPB).

The book is called "The Rough Guide to England" and is written by four British travel writers, and says that England is a "querulous, quarrelsome country" that is in the grip of an identity crisis and laps up "celebrity chit-chat".

I wonder when Heather Mills will have her own cooking show??

I love this quote: "As a glance at the tabloid newspapers will confirm, England is a nation of overweight, binge-drinking reality TV addicts that can't get enough of celebrity, even on plain old cooking shows".

So does this explain the mindless Celebrity Master Chef and Marco's appalling Hell's Kitchen perhaps? Enough with all this celebrity garbage! We're a nation stupifying itself.

The book also warned that the English are "the most contradictory people imaginable" perhaps explaining some of the threads on this website Big Grin Big Grin
