Posh Nosh - A British Satire



Welcome to Posh Nosh, a satirical take on the world of cooking and wine tasting. My sister introduced me to this programme a few years back and I could not stop laughing from the very first moment.

The humour is definitively british, richly ladled with sarcasm, undertones of restrained anger and arrogance thrown in for good measure. Lady Marchmont has married "above her status" while her husband is "not quite out of the closet". Lady Marchmont is somewhat oblivious to her husband's retorts while "she alienates the chorizo". His descriptive, lyrical and snooty wine reviews are the perfect embodiment of a wine snob.

In this episode Jose Luiz has passed away suddenly and at a very young age. I won't tell you anymore than that. Just a reminder that this is very tongue and cheek humour. You may need to watch it a second and third time to take in all of the humour.

I love my job!

Cheers
