Is this on The Food Network? Right now I only watch that channel twice a
week -- "Two Fat Ladies" at 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday -- but if this
is another reason to tune in to Food TV...

You must tune in to Iron Chef. They worked with live GIANT eels a couple of
weeks ago. A great moment in television history.

Food TV. Japanese show dubbed into English. Campiest show on television.

LOL. Ainsley's father-in-law is someone rather famous, but I can't for
the life of me remember who. His frenetic flouncing is considerably
less when he's not in "cooking mode". (I've seen him on a couple of
interview shows, and he appeared in the docu-soap Airport, being
escorted around Heathrow's shops by the slightly annoying "personal
shopper" who didn't know who he was. (She didn't know Chris Akabusi
either.)

I have the dimmest idea that he might be, or have been, a well-known British
jazz musician, but I'm not coming up with the name? Razz? Put down that
syringe and talk to us.

If Ainsley Harriot was gay there'd be less chance of him reproducing.
Unfortunately, due his het. status (and kids) the future, rather like the
present, looks grim.

Uh -- hello? Are you actually trying to infer that homosexuals cannot
reproduce -- or perhaps don't want to? Guess you haven't heard about
Melissa Etheridge and her family, have you?

The same applies to Jessie Helms and Strom Thurmond...

Are you trying to say Melissa Etheridge is a father too, like Ainsley Harriott?
