Lab 10,979 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well the way i see things are when you make a tv programme you get a budget to work off and in his success he has obviously been granted a larger budget. I dont see why he would go and make beans on toast in a council house when he could make them in a state of the art kitchen in some mansion somewhere. His recipes are not packed with the most expensive ingredients and he doesn't ask you to go out and purchase a 30k mincing machine to make his meals so to say he is leaning towards the middle to upper class instead of the working class is alien too me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bootsha 1,306 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The man may not be a very popular character in that vicinity, but when he was in the first River Cottage series, I envied his lifestyle. I even referred to my chicken patch as chicken polis.lol. He's made a lot of money from his passion, wish i could do the same.... jammy twat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
