Good Food is Probably Not Posh Nosh

There's a delightfully funny comedy on BBC called Posh Nosh that lampoons every single cooking show on air -- Food Network fans beware! The episode I watched showed Minty and Simon create "Architect's Fish and Chips." First, they had an actual architect build a paper model of the food. Then there was an olive oil tasting demonstration in which Simon swills three different kinds of E.V.O.O. in his mouth before deciding on the perfect bottle. Best yet, the pair incessantly talk about their old and expensive house and kitchen utensils while they're preparing the meal. Here's what's written in Simon's "Food Philosophy" on the Posh Nosh webpage:

I once ate a Flayed Swordfish And Guava Millefeuille that reminded me, in one sweet mouthful, of a Sea Interlude by Britten, a painting by Turner and one of Michael Holding's rampant, perfect-length balls.

I think it's even funnier when you actually know someone who talks as pompously and obnoxiously about food as the folks at Posh Nosh do.
