maybe we should do a ocuk vs food

ocukers film there epic food battles maybe have a challenge each week and as many as people like take part with entries.

so week one could be eat certain hot curry and so on.

Good idea!

We can do a bit of research and try to recreate the challenges.

I can watch all the cordon bleu and a la carte cookery programmes under the sun, but nothing makes my mouth water as much as an episode of Man V Food.

It was indeed, same as you, i was pretty disappointed with the food at the places I went.

It's brilliant plenty of fatty rubbish. But there's also a load of decent BBQ and other dishes well done in an old technique.

Man v food nation was out over a year ago and I still haven't seen any talk of a uk release date.

I love this show and it made me eat more healthy which is kinda strange.
More home cooked freshly prepared food instead of out of the packet

Some of the stuff ain't to bad on a smaller scale if you cut out the fatty sides

TBH I would not mind tucking into that 6 pound grill cheese sandwich he tried one time lol

I went to Hot N Juicy Crawfish in Vegas last year; it's featured in the show. Was so good, we ended up going again and again!

Is that the one where they bring the crawfish out in a plastic bag?

Yep. I had the crawfish and the Mrs had garlic shrimp. Gotta suck the head of the crawfish!!

Crawfish were good but too much effort for a tiny piece of meat so the next time we went I had the shrimp too.

They literally serve your drinks in polystyrene cups, food in a bag and the tablecloth is a plastic sheet. At the end of the meal they just scoop up the plastic sheet and toss it all away.

LOVE! Man V Food, I want him Adam to do a UK version.

I watch it all the time, and it just makes me hungry!

I'm off to America next week, going to do a Mini M v F trip and visit some of the resturants he's visited

mr.bond · 21 Apr 2012 at 09:10

I've been getting my food fix watching 'diners, drive-ins and dives'. The presenter's nit as funny as Adam, the food however looks amazing where ever they visit.

Glaucus · 21 Apr 2012 at 11:00

What channel is it on? And is it on virgin I can't see it.

mr.bond · 21 Apr 2012 at 13:53

Food Network is the channel, also has 'outrageous food' & 'meat and potatoes' which are quite good, annoying presenters but quite good none the less.

Skytv btw, not sure what else shows them.

Wtf food network is avilable on freeview but not on virgin. :mad:

that's a bit hard to swallow ....

Especially when I'm paying over a ton a month. Out of contract, I think next time I have a day off I need to look at getting just virgin Internet and seeing what deals there are for sky tv, especially as I don't get f1 HD or skygo, virgin don't have any sort of mobile media for my iPad when staying in hotels.

DirtyJester · 21 Apr 2012 at 16:10

Shop around for sure, in fact only last night an OcUK member was helping a couple of people out with a 1/2 price year deal for Sky

Now that would be awesome.

Seems I'm paying £102.40, the equivalent skytv and virgin internet/phone line. but with all the sky extras would be the same price give or take £1 with zero deals.

Sent you link via Trust

..though you might have already picked up on the thread

Glaucus · 21 Apr 2012 at 16:20

thank you.

Don't mention it mate and with a bit of luck save it for the other fella

mr.bond · 21 Apr 2012 at 21:00

I changed from virgin to sky, the tv is no comparison - sky murders it. The only thing better with virgin is the broadband, i value thd tv more so sky wins!!

Glaucus · 21 Apr 2012 at 21:10

seems i can do both for same price. still looking for an offer though.
