Nibble I blame celebrity chefs in the 1990's - Rhodes, Floyd and Oliver planting the seeds of culinary ponciness onto the general public. Plagues on all the houses of the celebrity chefs....
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Has the cooking of dinner become all a bit sproncey?

This is true. My brother thinks he's a chef. One rarely gets fed before 11pm when he's cooking, he uses every pot and pan in the house and never cleans up after using everything in the larder. You're served up a plate of spaghetti bolognese but by the look of the kitchen you'd think he had been cooking a 7 course wedding feast for the Maharaja of Pookajee.
Don't forget he is a poncey lovey ...... they are well know for being over emotional about non-emotional things !
If a mate has gone to a lot of effort to make something they think you'll like, can't you just be grateful?

Well. of course I acted grateful. I am hardly going to complain at the time. I did make a mental note not to accept her dinner invites again. Anyway, y'all focussing in the wrong aspect. Has cooking in general become a bit of a fussy affair?

Agree with that as well as the relentless rise in prosperity leading to an ever expanding middle class (despite many still claiming to be working class). All the houses except Nigella !

I blame 'Come Dine with Me'.
Dave Lamb's narrative usually proves the point.

I think Nipple has it the wrong way around, Resteraunts are disappearing up their backsides,I want my food on a plate not a chopping board for starters.
With people it food fetishism, super foods, gluten free and all that clap trap. In fact I feel a frothing rant comming on, I may stat a thread.

Oh yes, sorry.
No. If someone else wants to spend ages cooking with saffron infused rosewater that's fine by me. If they want to do something simple, that's fine with me too.
I'm available as a dinner guest Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and can be relied upon to be punctual, correct you on your grammar and highlight any inaccuracies you state throughout the course of a fascinating evening.

Even anger management courses are getting a bit 'sproncey' these days.

Right issue but wrong targets. Rhodes and Floydd at least didn't fart about and turned out good basic fare. its the prats on programmes like the great british menu and Gordon bloody Ramsey and Blumentwat who are the major culprits.
So basically you've got friends you don't really like? That's what I took from that.
