THE duck breast with dried cherry and port sauce Gordon Ramsay taught us how to cook last night was good, wasn't it?

What do you mean you don't know?

You mean you didn't "cook-along" with Gordon like you were supposed to?

No, me neither.

And a quick straw poll of the office found that none of them did either.

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody actually cooked alongside Ramsay as he hand-weaved angel hair noodles and did clever things with pak choi and Marsala (whatever that is).

I mean, come on Gordon, get real.

It's a Friday night, most of us have been working like dogs all week and now we're so tired out all we're fit for is slumping on the couch, glass of wine in one hand Chinese takeaway on our laps, watching you and your big sweary mouth create something exquisite out of ingredients we wouldn't know where to buy even if we had the energy or desire to.

I mean, who exactly has a ready supply of Barbary duck breasts in their freezer?

That tiramisu looked good though, didn't it?
