Heston Blumenthal

[Blasphemous]

He's with the Royal Navy tonight looking at the cooking on a Submarine. The guy has mixed reviews, personally I like his scientific approach.

But the real point of this post is something he's just been told. At the opening of the program he was told how much they are allowed to spent on each member of the crew each day for ALL of their meals. The amount is £2.34 per crew member! Now if that's not bad enough he was also informed that it is the same amount that is spent on convicts in British prisons. What a great moral boost that must be to the crew!

The crew's diet ain't great, they have a cooked breakfast EVERY morning. I don't know what he has planned or if they'll accept his recommendations but it's this fact that they have the same quota as a criminal that really stinks.

So how about we half the money spent on criminals and give the money to our service personnel?

UPDATE: Well, he basically came up with vac-packed food! And it looks like not only the Navy but also the Army too will be looking into the adoption of his vac-packed food. They like the fact that it allows the food to hold onto the nutrients longer but they particularly like the fact that it take up less space on board an already over crowded food storage area which means the ship can stay out for longer.

But how/why the hell didn't someone at some level within the navy come up with the idea that Vac Packed food might be a good idea for submarines? It beggars belief.

They could have irradiated food stick it next to the nuclear core

I think Bloomin' Hestontile is a scary freak. if he wasn't dabbling in his so called 'food', I reckon he would be welding humans together using sh*t from his own toilet, or something similar. I think the bloke should be exterminated before he destroys the human race.

The amount he has to spend is about the same as the catering company spend on the daily meals where I work, and the kids who frequent the college are a damn sight better off I would wager !!

There's more than a little irony in that statement!

All I was trying to convey is that I work at a private school, where they provide catering for the students, and the amount they have to spend per day per student is roughly the same. The chefs still manage to knock up some decent food.
