Chefs go head to head for TV
Mr Kitchin, of The Kitchin restaurant in Leith, will battle it out with Matthew Gray of Inverlochy Castle to decide who will be crowned Scottish champion.
The winner will go through to the national finals of the BBC competition.
The finalists will cook a dinner in London’s iconic Gherkin building for an invited guest list of 50 of the world’s best chefs, as well as gourmets and celebrities.
Mr Kitchin said: “I am honoured to be through to the next round against Matthew Gray.
“He is a great chef and does some fantastic food up at Inverlochy Castle.
“The Great British Menu is a real challenge and the pressure is really on.”
Yes another one- and one more hoving into sight called - Kithing! You could make it up and at what price a menu?
OK for the expense account suits- and I should know on that one!
Mind you the worst is D Smith and tinned mince- just ask your burcher about that one - Them up at near Barclay towers a Q butcher !

Why did LouF get downmodded while this got voted up? Oh that’s right, this is reddit, where the validity of the statement doesn’t mean shit, it just matters who says it.

No, he meant, Decent 4: The Folks in Charge. One of the lesser known entries in the Decent series.

Maybe you should assess his claims before you label him. However, I haven’t checked his link, so he may be a crackpot, but generalizations aren’t helpful.

I dunno about Taiwan, but eating a fish that’s still alive is a delicacy in Japan called Ikizukuri : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IkizukuriThey way I heard it: It was a dish reserved for royalty in Japan who wanted to be assured that the fish they were eating was fresh because otherwise they could get sick…

Ookay… let me list down some things…”but it looks pretty painful if I were that fish.”"Fish aren’t conscious, nor do they have feelings. They’re just fish.”"How do you know? Oh, hey - that’s right. You have no fucking idea.”"as if the chef knew”"What do I know”Yeah… what do we know. Like somebody said here, we shouldn’t always put our sensibilities on other things.”I for one would not like anyone to boil my body while keeping my head alive and then laying me down and picking at my cooked body while my mouth still grasps for air…”Well aren’t you lucky you’re a human?Let’s face it. People are the ones who eat fish with the exception of the occasional shark attack. It doesn’t matter if it’s cooked or raw, chopped or whole. It’s simply the natural hierarchy of things. It’s basically up to us on how we eat our food. Aren’t we lucky that we’re on top of the food chain?

This is kind of disturbing, but the fish is definitely dead.The same cannot be said for Zombie Fish sushi, though (zombie fish makes its appearance around 1:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLt3z4pG2Nc

It seems a bit primitive to me… to actually find humor in watching your food still be “alive” while you eat it. The fact is, these people probably even don’t know if the fish is alive or not (and they don’t seem to care). They’re obviously just getting their kicks out of the whole concept–which is more disturbing to me than the actual eating of a moving meal.
