yeah… when I give a long winded flowery description of a small thing my wife goes to sleep.
He could easily be talking about the US. I live in Seattle and every fancy restaurant wants to think Frasier the character might show up there that day.
I want a sausage roll.

Who's the woman on the left?
David's right, in general as a nation we don't value food the way the French or Italians do, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Sadly since the 50s we've been demanding cheap food at the expense of quality, so now what was reasonable quality food, albeit plain, is now full of artificial crap, sugar and fat.
As for those who are OK spending £100 for a meal that wouldn't fill a toddler, go for it. If you've got money to waste, waste it upon whatever takes your fancy.
No that isn't coming from a place of jealousy, I worked with a guy who spent about £120 every weekend on beer, takeaways and cigarettes and I considered that a waste as well.
If you have money, spend it how you want, you can't take it with you.
I'm a 31 year old Australian. Didn't even recognise recognise Kylie Minogue….
It's amusing to know that you can eat a 5 course meal in a posh restuarant and leave hungry. Give me bag of fish and chips any day. Masochists….
Who's the hottie on the end?
OK, may I just say, I know how tall David Mitchell is. He’s about average. The people he’s sitting near must be very tiny, because he looks like a giant!
I mean. The way most of our dishes can be summed up as “X & Y” or not far from that has gotta say something. Fish & Chips, Banger’s and Mash, Toad in the Hole.
But there is one food I really care about. Shepherd’s Pie. I make the best Shepherd’s pie. I have tasted Shepherd’s pie from fancy restaurants and everywhere in between and it is shit in comparison to what I can cook up in an hour. I really should write my recipe down sometime.
I'd just be thinking "how long is this going to take, I ordered food because I'm hungry"
QUALITY rant: David is SO entertaining when he's genuinely irritated about modern life.
Every Mitchell rant is gold
Stephen Graham's comic timing is chef's kiss good.
i don't want no description of the food beforehand. i wouldn't trust it's true anyway.
I ❤ David Mitchell
My sandwich was sourced from Co-Op
It just goes to show how terribly common I am, I’ve never been to a restaurant where they describe the food to you in the way David was on about. Posh to me is anything that isn’t a carvery.
"Mr. Neelix, I prefer not to hear the life history of my breakfast."
Nah, I’m with David on this
Smart🙂
Hah some chemistry good and bad on that sofa
I've never met anyone who cares how their restaurant meal was made and sourced (apart from dietary concerns)
every meal beyond kraft dinner and hot dogs is posh in canada.
Wait a second! That lady on the left was Kylie Minogue? 😲
Stephen Graham’s body language. He’s not happy with David Mitchell
Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle for the win!
David Mitchell is hilarious 😂
If you have a tiny thing, talking it up doesn't really help. Well, in food, it does because then your mind is ready to taste all the subtleties and appreciate the work that went into growing the components, cooking it, etc.
I knew David and Kylie, but who were the other two?
Its the idea of other people serving you which is extremely off putting. It makes you feel lazy which makes you feel bad.
David Mitchell is very outpsoken and has been a passionate critic of pseudoscience like homeopathy. He's oddly quiet on the pseudoscience of chemically castrating children or performing dangerous irreversible surgery on children. I wonder if we'll hear him speak out against the terrifying new laws in Scotland.
Kylie loved the long description of the tiny thing 😆
Jaysus, what a wacky bit.
