Jamie Oliver: Jamie Oliver Disses Rival Gordon Ramsay


Jamie Oliver is feuding again with Gordon Ramsay.

The two TV celebrities and chefs have heated up their rivalry again after Oliver accused Ramsay of being disrespectful toward Indian chefs in his recent travel show, Gordon's Great Escape.

When you love telly and cooking as much as I do, you realize that the most wonderful thing in the world is the ethnic mix we are blessed with and are able to cook with, Jamie said.

Oliver says she got angry after Ramsay called a guru Father Christmas and uttered expletives.

I wouldnt have minded if he had done a good job, but he didnt. He just wasnt respectful.

That is the most important thing when you visit another culture. You shut your mouth, you listen and you smile and you suck it all up and you take it all home. You dont judge. You dont start shouting at people. How dare he do that? There is a humbleness that you need to have.

Ramsay had previously started the feud by calling Oliver a one-pot wonder.

Everything kind of gets mixed in hands in. Its a very different style to me. He sticks it in the oven, comes back three hours later and its done. We cook differently. I use basic ingredients taken up with a lot more excitement. But competition is healthy. Its good to have that kind of rivalry.
