Combat chefs

Anyone been watching Combat Chefs on the TV. This weeks episode had me in stitches watching a chef called Shaky Davies sweating and shaking through a Tri Service catering competition.

On a similar note we had our Army Careers Office Xmas party last Friday in a overpriced poor standard establishment in Cardiff Bay, the meal was bogging and if they had been Army chefs I would have jailed them all. Oh for the days of Regimental Xmas dinners and mess functions where the food was in my opinion fantastic. I dont believe we really appreciated how well off we were.

I appreciated all of them Colin. In fact I got appreciated as a Newt at most of them. Wonderful memories that cannot (in my opinion) be matched anywhere else. How lucky we were!

All the chefs are doing a great job on that series and doing themselves proud, but who does that overweight prat of a major think he is. Comments like "you put food like that in front of me again and you'll be wearing it" I'm sorry but are there still D**k HEADS like that in the army?

Troops these days are over worked and under paid and dinosaurs like him are really not needed!!!

I suspect he's been in London district for a long time and avoiding the marathon like the plague!!!

Just my opinion

Short answer Sid,yes lots of them but not just in the Army. I suspect he is just playing to the camera.Perhaps he is trying too be the Simon Cowell of the Catering world. He certainly does not display the Army in a good light, fat arrogant pig.

I Agree Fat Ba......ds like him put the army in a Bad light (and not just by the shadow he projects) and he is criticizing guys worth 10 of him,

The Chefs I have know throughout the army including the regimantal Chefs have been stars, and I also miss the days of real Cookhouse Christmas dinners, Disclaimer "although the wife makes a cracking dinner"

There was a chef on there Vicky that sereved with us in Aldershot, a few of the Sgt mess might remb her lol

Was it not this programme that did a piece on the 1st Bn in Cyprus.

we all complained about the chefs at times but we turned up each meal time filled our faces and said that was s**t but went back again
especially on exercise how did they produce what they did with what they had
well done the slop jockeys

The Maj in this programme reminded me of "Dicky Wyatt". He was a real good Chef. Does anyone know of Dicky's whearabouts?
