Did anyone tune in and hear this chap getting a mention

The book has been hailed on internet blogs, including the influential moneysavingexpert.com website, helping it to become an underground hit.

Xanthe Clay, The Daily Telegraph's food columnist, said: "I find it utterly surreal that people want to recreate the taste of junk food restaurants in their own home. It is just extraordinary. It is the complete antitheses of what Jamie and Nigella have been telling us in recent years about using fresh, quality ingredients. But maybe that's why it has done so well.

"And I am equally thrilled that he has proved that you can produce a bestseller without being on television. It is very heartening."

Even though Abbot was bing ever so slightly condescending about the fact that such a product can become a success in the way it has, he'd surely appreciate the achievement if aware of the facts of social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia, granting some credit to the geezer.

Are you Mr. McGovern Well done

Right I'm off to grill a kebab...., mmmm

Yes, well Done Mr. McGovern. Junk food has it's place and it if you make it yourself you know exactly what you're putting into it, so good for him.
