We've evolved in recent years in fairness. God knows the UK TV industry churns out five food programmes on each channel seemingly everyday. But there is still a large section of the public, even those who watch those shows, that are still happy to settle for the most plain, boring food (usually unseasoned, overcooked meat covered in gravy thickened with cornflour ) and the more exciting ideas we get are often imported. It's only just in the last decade that upmarket British food is carving out its own identity, but obnoxious, self-important (usually male) TV chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver give us a bad image.
