Food fight
Did anyone else watch Channel 4's Food Fight Quiz last night? I loved the first round in which the competitors had to name ten different variations on an ingredient in under twenty seconds.
Team captains Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and James Martin both did well with Hugh naming seven types of pasta and James naming seven types of cooking oil. Both however were beaten by Charlotte Church who managed to recall eight of the dishes which are on the menu at her local Chinese in Bridgend.
Who needs to know the difference between rigatoni and farfalle when you know your local takeaway menu off by heart?
If you fancy your chance as a gastro guru, then try the Food Fight Quiz here.

I loved Jamie Oliver's show that was on before hand, especially when he was going to look for some lost cattle with a cowboy and was really pleased with the packed tea he'd got together and the cowboy made him leave it all, but he snuck the asparagus in his pocket.
My favourite was last week though when a formal crystal meth addict said having children changed how he lived his life (and stop taking crystal meth) and Jamie said he could relate to that, when he had children he stopped riding his scooter.
