Would you?

@hartfire yeah I mean..Im very strict on how to prepare a meal so I get it..but it was the intensity of how she went on the rant. Also peas and garlic on egg and cheese sauce sounds a tad off in my opinion.

@Dancingxghost Yeah, intense rants can be a bit much to cope with.
As to the ingredients, with a master like Ramsey, I'd trust him to know just how to make it work.

@hartfire yeah main point is that you like it..otherwise cooking wouldn't be fun.

@Dancingxghost I agree that pleasure in the eating is vital.
However, for myself, I like every meal to contain all the nutrients and fibre one needs for good health.
One of the things I most dislike about restaurants is how rare it is to find cooked green vegetables as part of a dish. All they need is light steaming and a good sauce to be one of the most delicious elements in a repertoire.
The professionals seem to rely on salads, which although good as raw fibre, are not nearly as nourishing. There's a fashion for colour in the salads - using pink, red, brown and purple mixed with lime, bright and dark greens, all of which are intensely bitter - repulsive to my palate, and no amount of dressing can disguise it.
My deepest wish is that chefs would study nutrition before they set foot in the kitchen.
And I know it's doubtful that even one in the world ever has or ever would.

@hartfire many chefs included myself have a small nutrition course on their formation at cooking school sadly thats not what many restaurant owners require unless its a highly especialized restaurant such as a vegan place or one that deals with people with food allergies. So its not that we don't take in fact nutrition it's about that many owners disregard it due to size portions and other things such as presentation and color.

@Dancingxghost Thanks for the explanation.
It helps to know why.
Unless it changes (which I doubt it ever will), I prefer having the majority of my meals at home.

@hartfire its hard for us to change..it but many restaurants will acomodate your petitions. Like vegetables au sauteé ( like slighty stir fried vegetables in olive oil and rock salt) but you have to especifically ask for it.

@Dancingxghost Delish! :D
I never thought of asking.
I had assumed that the logistics of buying the ingredients would require advance notice. But maybe they wouldn't mind that.
Thanks! :)
The experience of eating out is a pleasure, nice environment, no effort, and pleasant conversation with husband or a friend.

@hartfire don't worry about it..but the thing is..you could actually extrapolate from What they have in the menu..if they have like for example parmessan eggplant you could ask for a dish with eggplant..that way they won't need to be notice in advance. One of my favorite dishes is a chinese dish and its extremely simple..just put some oil (not olive just plain vegetable oil) in a pan until its heated add some garlic ( paste or diced) until its slightlt brown and add pieced of iceberg lettuce and stir fry it slightly (until the lettuce is crystalized or see through) then sprinkle it with some salt and there you go..extremely tasty and really easy. You can do it with almost any leafy greens. With Bok choi works great too.

@Dancingxghost Yes, I like cooked lettuce and bok choi too. Quite often do it at home.
The best are broccoli, green asparagus, young green stringless beans, English spinach.

Russian kale works well in an Italian pesto, or in a Saag Paneer using garam marsala and coconut cream.
