Weirdly, they had some in Sainsbury's the other day. Perhaps it's
about to become mainstream and cool or summat.

FADE IN

A Horseradish farm, somewhere indeterminate where vaseline-smeared
camera lenses can make it look sentimentally RURAL and IDYLLIC.

JAMIE OLIVER enters, SLOUCHING and trying to CONCEAL his LARGE TONGUE.

                I love 'orseradish me, it's brilliant
                and it goes wiv all sorts of fings.
                It's pucka, like Japanese food which
                comes wiv wasabi.

                And just imagine, if Sainsbury's can
                take so much care over stocking a spicy
                root vegetable, they must be, like, really
                good.

SIMON enters, carrying a PLATE of pan-fried ostrich with fennel and
oven-roasted wasabi. He HITS Jamie in the FACE with it.

                              SIMON
                It's just occurred to me that Mr Oliver
		here is like the Emperor's New Clothes
		in reverse. He claims to be "the Naked
		Chef", cooking simple homely dishes, but
		ends up turning out the same adjective-
		laden gastro-pub guff. He's about as naked
                as a sensible Eskimo.

JAMIE is experimentally licking FOOD from his FACE

                              JAMIE
                Hmm. Nice "jus", mate.

                              SIMON
                It's called GRAVY, you FUCK.

JAMIE proceeds to receive a WELL-DESERVED KICKING

FADE OUT
                   

I'd invoke the spirit of Ashley Pomeroy's "Inappropriate Cookery Show
Hosts" at this point, but it appears to have vanished from his site
again. Bugger.


There's stuff above here
