We've just been watching The Great British Menu, another of those cooking competition programmes beloved of the Missus that prove to be entirely mesmerising. This one features top chefs - I'm talking Michelin Star holders - doing the business for various courses for a big banquet. The level of accomplishment is stunning, and this is just from what you get to see on camera. What it must be like to have all the senses engaged can only be left to the imagination. And imagination, by the way, plays a huge role in both the devising and expediting of the dishes.
If you don't regard cooking as a serious art form up there with music and poetry, I don't think you have much grasp of what art is.
By the way, we viewed the programme after munching on Noi's utterly shiok mee goring which considerably eased the frustration of not getting a nibble at what the various chefs were producing.
