While I was in England, I loved watching The Naked Chef, an English cooking show. Watching an English cooking show – you must be crazy

Of course, Jamie Oliver sometimes is just a bit too lad-ish and when you're living in Coventry on a budget you can't keep up with shopping all across London whatever you please – but who said that TV is perfect?
