[Closed] Nigel Slater's Toast

thought the same after flicking through and seeing nothing else on, brilliant acting and nice to know good came from what looked like a very tough upbringing.

+ 1 lemon meringue pie 😉

yup, i'd have married the cleaner too, just for the cooking

fantastic film i thought,brought a tear to my eye the scene with his mum and mince pies.

read some of the boom a while back - on holiday, left book behind when I left. If you liked the film, you should get the book. A bit more obsessive on the food front but well worth the read IMHO

HBC is a "i really shouldn't, but i would" type of person isn't she

He was at my junior school and lived round the corner... I'm surprised that HBC was the only one with an accent.

funny, I thought, while well cted, wasn't that interesting a story. Oh, and the cleaner was right: he was a stuck up brat.

Boil in the bag pub food was the real star 😉

Liked to have seen the film because it looked really good and I even liked HBC done up as a monkey 😯 but then I guess I would. Hopefully it will be on replay on BT Vision.

Can't stand Nigel Slater though, I think his food is pretentious nonsense for the most part.

I sympathised with HBC character (not sure whether she was typecast as a villain).

Wonder if Slater has relented on his views of her?

Said to the s.o. a while ago that he seems to be turning into Alan Bennett, it all makes sense now. 😉
