As Donald Trump is criticised for dousing over-cooked steak in ketchup, we take a look at Theresa May’s preference for dining at the favourite restaurant of a paedophile and her lack of interest in the “absolutely meticulously” recipes of Delia Smith
In 2008, Theresa May told The Guardian: “I’ve knocked on Rolf Harris’s door and asked for his vote” and in the very same article the now Prime Minister also cited the since jailed paedophile’s favourite restaurant, Maliks Tandoori House in Cookham, Berkshire, as her own hangout of choice too.
The dining habits of top-drawer politicians came under scrutiny again earlier this week when Town & Country’s Sam Dangremond analysed Donald Trump’s preference for eating well-done steaks topped with ketchup. The 45th POTUS supposedly likes his meat to “rock on the plate” (according to his former butler) but in Britain, our somewhat clueless leader’s food choices are a little more specific.
Two stories to keep beside you
Who Sells Roger Rabbit?
In spite of being popular with the media classes as a meat of choice, Matthew Steeples asks: ‘Why don’t supermarkets sell rabbit?’ Last week in The Times, I came across a recipe for rabbit pie. At the weekend, it featured in several recipes on the BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and inspired I headed to Waitrose Belgravia […]
Currying May
Isn’t it time for Theresa May to laud British boozers? This week, our Home Secretary attended an event celebrating the culture of curry. In her speech, she ridiculously stated that Indian restaurants are more important to the British economy than public houses.
Aside from loving Indian cuisine and her eponymous “red, white and blue Brexit”, Mrs May is a woman with a preference for a no doubt red, white (but not so blue) Kit Kat and recipes from the cookbooks of the throttled ex-wife of Charles Saatchi, ‘Highgella’ Lawson. In 2008, she remarked: “The other day I did a Nigella recipe for a mustard-and-caper sauce on purple-sprouting broccoli”.
The vicar’s daughter, it transpires, does not have Delia Smith’s books in her kitchen, however. Why? Not because the cook-turned-football-club-chairwoman is generally utterly smashed most of the time, but due to the fact she’s “absolutely meticulous”. The character of the government of Mrs May, thus, could be revealed in a cookbook; its title would no doubt be A Total & Utterly Unmeticulous Cock-Up.

What’s Don eating? That is possibly the worst picture I’ve ever seen of him.
Where is Edwina Currie when you need her?
Theresa May is all about “working together” y’all know. Chaos is all her and Philip Hammond know how to create. Their unravelling budget sums up their “working together”.
Make Britain into India: Is that what Madam May wants?
Utter rot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donald Trump eats the best food on the planet and he does not even touch liquor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teresa May likes a curry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Superb!!!!!!!!! She’s showing multi-culturalism and you liberals should be saluting that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a ridiculous situation to mock what the pair MAKING AMERICA and MAKING BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN are eating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lesson to politicians: Don’t court celebrities. It often comes back to haunt.
What?
No free Rolf Harris loonies coming out of the wood work?
Not sure about “Eats the best food on the planet”(!) part but otherwise I completely agree with all Rod has to say today……….!
Sorry, are we all supposed to avoid any restaurant frequented by pedophiles?
