Jamie Oliver

[ummmm]

Just watching his 30 minute meals. Why does he put so much olive oil on things? Do any of you put olive oil on top of stuff?

More typos :-(

A good quality oilive oil does make a nice salad dressing as long as it has some acid too, like lemon juice, balsamic or wine vinegar etc. It does make a nice dip for bread with balsamic venegar too, but I can't see how drenching things in neat oilive oil is going to add to any dish.

Arggghh why can I not spell olive all of a sudden *sigh*

I'm not keen on oily stuff (or Jamie Oliver). I'd use it to cook with but no drizzling unless it was necessary for a dressing for a salad or bread with oil and balsamic. I eat quite simply when it's just me. Maybe if I was entertaining, I love sweet chilli sauce on rocket with shredded duck as a starter for entertaining.

The amount of oil puts me off pastry stuff from Greggs, it just soaks through the bag there is so much in it.
