Marco Pierre White teams up with Bernard Matthews<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week MPW signed a deal with Bernard Matthews to promote their turkeys. The once Michelin-starred chef declared: “Ever since I was a boy I’ve been an admirer of turkey and particularly Bernard Matthews.” It’s the sort of sentence you have to read twice. The move has inevitably caused huge controversy in the food community, though frankly I think any reaction beyond a hearty chortle is probably an over-reaction. I made some turkey twizzlers to celebrate the latest saga in the increasingly barmy life of the great chef. You can read about my efforts at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

Kitchen worker at public school attempts to poison the soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A member of staff at Stowe School in Bucks was arrested after allegedly attempting to poison the soup. Parents were emailed by headmaster Anthony Wallersteiner on Tuesday to be informed of the incident. Dr. Wallersteiner assured concerned parents that no pupils had been harmed after one of the kitchen staff detected the pungent smell of bleach coming from a batch of carrot and coriander soup. Insert joke about school food here.<\/p>\n
