Gordon Ramsay told the BBC Last week that Fruit and veg should be seasonal. "Chefs should be fined if they haven't got ingredients in season on their menu. "I don't want to see asparagus in the middle of December. I don't want to see strawberries from Kenya in the middle of March. I want to see it home grown. "It's a chef's job to ensure everything is locally sourced and, more importantly, when we haven't got it, take it off the menu. "There should be stringent laws to make sure produce is only used in season. The quicker we get legislation through, the more unique this country will become in terms of its sourcing and level of inspiration." Well Gordon I would have to say that you "level of inspiration" is at an all time Low. You and I know that you would be the first one to be fined. I am not even going to list the mistakes in your menu's unless you would like your inspirationally Low levels in print.The Chef's in this country, who you have so kindly labelled, ignorant, know that local seasonal produce is at a better quality and price than unseasonal imports. We also know that if you implemented this in your restaurants, you would fail. Yes Fail!Picking on this county's chefs is a cheap shot, go after the supermarkets or better still offer on the spot fines at the supermarket checkout to housewives purchasing imported unseasonal produce.Cheap Shot Chef, Cheap Shot, we expected better from you.ChefsWorld.net is an independent resource for Chef's.
