Don’t laugh, but one of the highlights of my workday is settling down on the couch at noon (I work at home) with my bowl of vegetarian soup, flax crackers, and mug of herb tea to watch You Are What You Eat on BBC America. But when I tuned in this Monday, they’d replaced my hour of poo analysis and junk food banquet tables (if you watch the show, you know what I mean) with some show that’s a cross between How Clean is Your House and Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, wherein a hospitality expert exposes the filth she finds in hotel rooms. Boo!
Tell me I’m not the only YAWYE addict out here. I know Gillian Mackeith gets a lot of flack about her medical qualifications and how she treats her subjects (quite rudely!), but watching the show makes me never want to eat things like hot dogs, pork rinds, and gummy bears ever again.
At least it’ll still be on weekends at noon.

I LOVE this show. I don’t what’s so addicting about it since it’s basically the same every time, but I feel so cleansed afterward as if I’d eaten weeks worth of broth and carrots as well.
I have to say, I love that show too. I find it amusing to watch as I eat my (generally) cheesy lunch, followed by a cookie or two and a cup of coffee. (I do throw some fruit & veg in there too!)
Don’t worry, you’re not alone on YAWYE! I’m with the commenter before me, though, it just makes me hungry for fries, beer, and cheese.
Also, so glad to have found your blog. It’s like reading my own anglophile thoughts!
I knew I wasn’t alone!
And thanks for those kind words, Karen. I hope you stick around.
I’ve never seen the show! It sounds great, I’m going to look for it this weekend.
