Jamie Oliver - Genius!
I wonder if school dinner ladies look into the children’s lunch boxes and play ‘Guess who was watching Jamie Oliver with mummy at the weekend.’
I don’t know, I don’t care. All I know is that I’ve spent five years trying to get my daughter to eat couscous and it didn’t matter how many times I would insist that ‘it’s just like lots of tiny dots of pasta really’ she would still look at me as if I was trying to poison her.
All Jamie Oliver has to do is to ride onto my TV screen, use the word ‘pukka’ a couple of times, throw some couscous in a bowl with a load of green things that my daughter would never have touched if I’d put it on a plate and bingo! One child saying…
‘Why can’t I have that in my packed lunch?!’
And you know the best thing about couscous? It swells, and so there’s enough left for me too.
It sure as hell beats jam sandwiches any day.
