Lots of people love to get a laugh by making fun of Jamie Oliver. The improbable accent, the difficulty with certain consonants, the determinedly scruffy dress sense – all are easy targets if you expect TV chefs to be polished and professional.
Seems as though it was, the show, was wrote for somebody, who knew nothing of Mexico, or the culture of the Hispanics here in America, and if you never been there or did much reading how would you know of mole? If only watching TV adds and news, you would not see much on the cuisine or the traditions. If you are involved in the issues going on within your own country, as Jamie is, would you really pay much attention to outside non news and as busy as he is you would not see much news outside your own. And truth be known I bet Jamie would not care less what they are saying as much as at least they are saying something, and it is about the show and not to negative. Surprisingly it is wrote by another Brit, who at least writes without cussing.

I've always enjoyed Jamie's shows on FN... all the way back to the "Naked Chef" days. To catch what he was saying sometimes I had to get the sound turned up on the TV a wee bit louder than norm. He has always been passionate about food and his cooking.

Steak on Pitchforks Cooked in a Cauldron of Fat on Jamie's American Road Trip [video]

Here's something we've never even heard of: In the latest episode of Jamie's American Roadtrip, Jamie Oliver was in Wyoming and Montana to play cowboy, and he comes across what's known as Pitchfork Fondue or Pitchfork Steak: steaks skewered on pitchforks dipped into boiling fat (usually suet) in a large kettle over an open flame. Apparently it's an old-school cowboy cooking technique that dates back to the 1800's that's still practiced all over the West.
"This is like some serious medieval thing going on," says Oliver, "In all the years I've been cooking, I've never seen anything like this in my life... God bless America."

I guess it would have more colorful words if he did, but he does seem to enjoy picking at Jamie.
