Jamie Oliver disses rival Gordon Ramsay
Jamie Oliver has reignited his feud with Gordon Ramsay! Oliver has accused Ramsay of being disrespectful towards Indian chefs in his recent travel show, Gordon’s Great Escape.
Jamie says he was horrified to hear Gordan call a guru “Father Christmas” and utter a string of expletives in a country where more offense is likely to be taken over obscenity.
“When you love telly and cooking as much as I do, you realize that the most wonderful thing in the world is the ethnic mix we are blessed with and are able to cook with,” Jamie said.
“I wouldn’t have minded if he had done a good job, but he didn’t. He just wasn’t respectful.
“That is the most important thing when you visit another culture. You shut your mouth, you listen and you smile and you suck it all up and you take it all home.
“You don’t judge. You don’t start shouting at people. How dare he do that? There is a humbleness that you need to have.”
Gordon has previously called Jamie a “one-pot wonder”.
“Jamie’s a one-pot wonder,” he said back in 2009.
“Everything kind of gets mixed in — hands in. It’s a very different style to me. He sticks it in the oven, comes back three hours later and it’s done. We cook differently. I use basic ingredients taken up with a lot more excitement. But competition is healthy. It’s good to have that kind of rivalry.”
