Not What I Expected
"I feel that delia really let us down with this book...I bought the book expecting it to be brilliant, but i was wrong i would not cook anything from it. it was awful. I would cook nothing from it and found it to be a huge waste of money...if you dont believe my review as i would have because its a delia smith book and it should be good, make sure to go to a book shop and have a look through before you buy as you will be happy you did not waste your money.. "
Review of Review: I feel tremendously sorry for poor Mr. A. T. Mckillop of Ireland. Such disappointment. What must he have imagined a Delia Smith book about Christmas would contain?
- "Mary, that Delia Smith book, it's arrived!"
- "Faith and, indeed, begorrah! Is that it in your trembling hands?"
- "Yes, to be sure, to be sure."
- "Quick, A.T.! Tear off the packaging and let us gaze 'pon it."
(RUSTLE, RUSTLE.)
- "I can't bear to look. Tell me, Mary. Tell me what incredible recipes there are in the book. Is there one for sunshine-trapped-in-a-prism flavoured ice-cream? Roast unicorn? Perhaps a pineapple upside-down cake? But not the upside-down cake of our youth. No. A cake that, through application of anti-gravity, LITERALLY turns the consumer upside down."
- "No, it's just a load of recipes for turkey and Christmas pudding."
- "Ah, bollocks. I've never been so let down."
Mind you, I reckon he deserves it, for advocating the use of bookshops as a try-before-you-buy-on-Amazon tool.
