Delia Does Classic Christmas Whippet
© Jonathan Lee, Delia Smith & BBC
I was quite enjoying Delia's Classic Christmas on BBC Two last night. Or at least I was up until a few minutes before the end. Suddenly, from almost nowhere, she started cooking something very odd indeed. In a matter of seconds, 99% of the population began to think Brussel Sprouts were actually quite an appealing option. Not me though. I've always loved them. I think I just love them even more now.
I am not entirely sure what alarms me more. The fact that Whippets take 18 minutes to cook or the fact that Delia knows they take 18 minutes to cook. Or is it the fact that Whippets are far tastier cool than hot? Or maybe that they go all crunchy?
Where did it all go so wrong Delia? Norwich?
