Comments on: Gordon Ramsay 1, Icelandic Puffins -4 http://www.celebitchy.com/14245/gordon_ramsay_1_icelandic_puffins_-4/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:33:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrea Gudmundsdaughter http://www.celebitchy.com/14245/gordon_ramsay_1_icelandic_puffins_-4/#comment-364805 Andrea Gudmundsdaughter Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:49:06 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=14245#comment-364805 Sad when people do not check up on facts before attacking a issue. One of you wrote this "these birds are adorable, and surely an endangered species?" Well that says a little bit about the whole thing. Have you seen newborn lambs or cute pick lets. They are adorable and when lambs are born, they smell perfume, I know because I just to help them to the world. Double moral standards I would call some who commented on this issue. In Iceland the Puffin are in abundance and the hunting of them is controlled by law. Many young ones are saved and children help them back to the sea when found lost wondering around in the city. So try to find out more before attacking a issue. You all have a grate summer :-) Andrea Sad when people do not check up on facts before attacking a issue.

At least with sushi there's some presentation involved He might not have broken any broadcasting rules, but at the very least its bad taste and a case of getting ratings for shick value – what has eating a raw puffin’s heart got to do with cooking.

Saying inane things to cover your previously inane comments doesn't make either of them facts. So "snigger" away.

I now live in the city and am one of the biggest animal lovers you will meet. BUT *shock - horror* I do still eat meat and I respect and understand other peoples choices not to do so. Other cultures have different values which I think we must appreciate. We dont have to try them if they conflict with our own values. Everyone has a choice when in another county to eat or decline food which they may find offensive. Gordon Ramsey chose to explore a food option. Some might argue that as a chef this is part of his job. I interpret these parts of his show as more 'documentary' type bits where he shows us a practice that we could not experience and describes it to us. As a side note - I have seen a programme where a chef was offered dog meat in a Chinese city 'underground' restaurant and he took a long time rationalising whether or not to eat it. In the end he didn't because eating it (especially on camera) would mean breaking the law in China. I guess we all rationalise things the best we can. I couldn't eat my pet dog, but I'm happy to eat a hamburger - I'm not sure if that makes me a hypocrite or not? In the risk of inflaming the debate:

Gordon is a vulgar man, who will plumb the depths for sensationalistic tv. So no change there. How do you think those plastic sealed containers of Lamb/Veal/Duckling get to Tesco/Sainsbury/QFC/Safeway. Animal is born is raised in cramped quarters, is killed humanely or inhamanely, chopped up, put in plastic container, made to look pretty and practical for consumption. Thats how life is not how you want it to be. Societies that catch food in less sanitised ways, give the animal a fighting chance to survive through cunning. They dont always win but eh thats life.

And puffins are far from being a popular delicatessen over there. Perhaps the fact that there are only 300.000 people in all of Iceland helps with the environmental issue.
