The World's Greatest Chef

I don my towerin' torque at a jaunty angle when I prepare my cuisine! Eat yer heart out, Gordon Ramsey; of all the world's chefs I'm the dean! I can whip up a delectable repast in a trice from a can of pickled spam! I've appointed myself the world's greatest chef - that I am, that I am! Ain't nothin' better'n my ravioli heated from a can of Chef-Boy-Ardee, Or a tasty frozen pie or cake defrosted in my microwave from Sara Lee! Why, I can heat up a canned ham quicker'n Emeril Lagasse can utter "bam"! I'll say it agin, I'm the world's greatest chef - that I am, that I am! Try my tasty Eggo waffles or pancakes that I forge in my toaster, Or the magnificent stews that I concoct from Dinty Moore in my roaster! People rave about my sandwiches of Skippy peanut butter and Smucker's jam! Are you convinced I'm the world's greatest chef? I think I am, I think I am! I learned the art of grillin' hot dogs at French culinary ecole Le Cordon Bleu, And it was there I cultivated my skill fer broilin' burgers on the barbecue! I invite you to try a bowl of my delicious Campbell's New England clam! I'll repeat it agin, I'm the world's greatest chef (or at least I think I am)!

G'day Bob ... you've hit the nail on the head. Why eat stuff that doesn't suit you. I admit I had a chuckle while I drooled over your recipes - thank you Bob - Lindsay

Glad you had a chuckle, Lindsay, at my foolishness. Without cans, cartons and bags of grub I'd probably starve to death! Good on you, Mate! Bob
