Paul Rodgers: Well, he wouldn’t. I would imagine that Sonia’s Lancashire<br />

Hot Pot would beat his. It is a bit sad that people will go and do Ramsay's Hot<br />

Pot as opposed to someone who is more aptly – it has been passed down and<br />

down and down – and got roots in real Lancashire Hot Pot as opposed to ‘virtual<br />

Ramsay’…<br />

Chris Vanstone: Then it’s about amateurism, I guess. It probably is as good if<br />

you think it is as good as <strong>Gordon</strong> Ramsay. I guess <strong>Gordon</strong> is putting it against<br />

the best Hot Pot ever but that is not what everybody wants – the best ever. They<br />

want something that tastes like how they like.<br />

From the floor: It’s about nostalgia. People on the Ramsay programme do<br />

not taste “is it good food?” They are tasting “does it taste like what I know<br />

Shepherd’s Pie tastes like?”<br />

Mickael Charbonnel: It is quite funny because when you start looking at –<br />

we did about six Grandmas already and when you have been watching it you<br />

realise that actually they do it in their own way and even the traditional<br />

Lancashire Hot Pot – although Sonia tried to make it in the most traditional way<br />

she could it still is her own way to do it. So I don’t chop onions like that but fifty<br />

years ago they probably didn’t chop onions like that either and I have no idea<br />

how they would because I’m not from here anyway so I’ve never seen it. So,<br />

nostalgia goes out the window I’ve got no links with that. Maybe the only<br />

element is that I miss my Grandma from when I was a kid.<br />

<strong>John</strong> <strong>Marshall</strong>: I think that is a really good metaphor for something that is<br />

running throughout all the presentations. A lot of people have been saying “I’m<br />

not an expert, or I haven’t invented this technology – I’m not a NASA scientist”<br />

and almost apologising for that. I think you are all using technology – as Aoife<br />

said, not for technology’s sake but in order to reach some other end and you all<br />

have your own ‘recipes’.<br />

Mickael Charbonnel: More as an enabling thing and it doesn’t really matter<br />

what the technology will be as long as there is a good ground for something to<br />

happen.<br />
