Galway F**king Market

padi89

Mr Gordon Ramsey was doing a bit of cooking down the market this morning.

Sherifu

That's pretty cool. Did he abuse anyone?

padi89

Just the guy he was cooking with .He seems a very pleasant chap, was happy to talk to people and obliged anyone that wanted a photo taken with him.I guess he wasn't in character, pretty cool though that the market will be on the beeb.

Mooch

Hey, that's pretty cool. I wonder where he'll dine out while he's here? The G, I spose. :rolleyes:

CrowdedHouse

I just knew this thread wasn't going to be as interesting as the title suggested...........:D

Probably not; I think they left fairly early as they had a plane to catch.

I'm so sorry I missed that this morning; he's one of my favourite TV personalities.

I want to hear everything about what he was doing there. Was it for a tv show or was he just randomly settign up a stall to sell his cooking? Please fill me in on all the gossip!!

Great, regretting the decision to go back to sleep this morning instead of get up and go to the market as planned.

Filming for the F Word i'm told.He was cooking Sea Urchins with some Japanese bloke that supplies them from a stall from what i gathered.He made some Sea Urchin scramble egg :eek:

Not even a cook but a damn good cook, I have to say I wish I had seen that, love his food, nothing flamboyant but just good food.

eggs and sea urchins, hmmmm possibly would not have tried that though

This must be one of the least sarcastic and most fullsome in praise threads ever to appear here.
Gordon Ramsey = Galway boards collective soft spot.
Whodda thunk it?

It was just observation. Keep your knickers on.

Sea urchin is the most appalling thing I have ever eaten. It tastes like pre-digested dog spleen (don't ask how I know, but I used live in Korea...). As for adding it to scrambled egg - I'd rather eat an omelette made with the contents of an ashtray.

As for Gordon Ramsey, he's a rude unpleasant twat who owns a selection of over-rated restaurants and he doesn't cook in any of them. He is just a brand name. Just like Uncle Ben is a brand name....

<EDIT; Hey OP, what was so bad about the pic that Photobucket deleted it?>

I spotted him too, just a nod and a 'Good morning, Mr Ramsay', before going on my way.

As a South African, I was making straight for the Henry's Boerie Rolls stand to pick up my weekly pound of Boerewors and a bit of biltong!! To hell with artyfarty cooking

dammit. i now want boerewors. i'm rarely off work on saturdays, so it's a treat to go into town and get some.

I must have deleted it this morning removing older photos, il stick it up again just for you sometime seeing as your such a fan

From what i saw anybody that tasted the dish (grannies and kids inc)liked it even at that hour of the morning, so can't be that bad.

The unpleasant twat you see on the telly box is just a character he plays up to, it works very well so why not milk it?In person he came across very friendly, my sister met him too that morning and he was happy to have a quick chat and have a photo taken with her and a mate.

Can't comment on any of the guys eateries i ain't ever been to one, but judging by the amount of Michelin stars he has been awarded and kept he must be doing something right?

Used to have a South African chef in work - everybody loved his vetkoek stuffed with chilli mince. Never had Boorewors - must check 'em out next time I'm over.

Heh, I make it my task to get up at 0700 on a saturday morning and go in with herself.

We spend a bit of time together before I gotta slog, and we get boerie! Win win!!
