Malaysian's favourite pastime, beside sitting down at the Mamak's over a cuppa complaining about injustices in the country and doing nothing about it, is eating. This is evident from the ever mushrooming of stalls here
and there as well as the existence of 24hr shops serving death-calling unhealthy food at each corner of the city. Hence, it is only logical that the 24hr cable TV be filled with cook shows. Besides the usual variety of food show depicting cuisine from the four corners of the world, of late they are cooking reality shows. The famous show run by the Scottish chef with a razor sharp tongue, infamous temper and fussy temperament (otherwise referred to perfectionist) seem to be a current favourite amongst my kids. I do not think they particularly plan to take a career in culinary field or plan a cuisine for their parents to appreciate their efforts in feeding them! I think they are more fascinated with the dialogue (or rather lack of!). It is filled with so many beeped out sentences that there is hardly decent conversation as it is filled with profanity but one does not need much imagination to figure it out!
Gordon Ramsey behaves as if the errors made by the contestants are life threatening if they are driving a 100-tonne lorry or performing life and death precision required brain surgery! For God's sake it is just food. From I learnt in Form 1 commerce studies, food is one of the basic item to live, period. We need food to live. We eat to live, not live to eat and life is not all about eating tasty food. There are other things in life than eating. The meat is slightly rare to your liking. So what, you should be grateful that you are are able to eat at all! Even Manoj Kumar said the same message in 'Roti Kepaada aur Makaan' (Bread, clothing and abode).
