To Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Sophie Cameron
No Hugh I will not make a lunch box
I will not turn my hand to broad bean hummus
Or lobster fucking bisque
Because you say I should
Because you say I’ll be better for it.
I’m quite happy to sit back
And watch your deeply contrived fiction
With a slotted spoon and a warm Viennetta
And compare it to my own factory-farmed reality.
