Giles Coren and his Theory of Elite Jewish Food

Giles Coren and his Theory of Elite Jewish Food

Recently in the British media there has been a bit of a storm in a teacup over the fact that Food Standards Agency (FSA) – otherwise known as Britain’s hygiene police who in theory are supposed to stop you being served ground up Pakistani rape gang victims as kebab meet as well as stop you getting salmonella – after a Michelin-starred restaurant named Ynyshir in Wales was given a one out of five food safety rating (the lowest possible I believe since I don’t think you can get zero and still be open for business).

To give you some idea this is the kind of rating normally reserved for dodgy Indian takeaways that are patronised by drunk teenagers at midnight on a Saturday when you can barely taste what you are consuming let alone care you are going to be spending Sunday being sick and having diarrhoea.

So, the fact that long-time ‘London Times’ food critic Giles Coren – who is predictably as well as consciously jewish – (1) has decided to lambast the FSA for ‘daring’ to deal harshly with Ynyshir’s food safety practices wasn’t expected but is never-the-less suggestive of his mentality towards non-jews.

The BBC write how:

‘Michelin-starred restaurants should not have to abide by normal health and safety rules, food critic Giles Coren has said.

The writer claimed inspectors needed to “modernise” after two-star Ynyshir Restaurant and Rooms received a hygiene rating of one out of five after food safety officers visited on 5 November.

According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), that means “major improvement” is required at the site in Machynlleth, Ceredigion, which charges almost £500 per head.

Coren, who visited Ynyshir in 2022, said high-end restaurants were “a different sort of world”.

Speaking on Radio 4’s World at One programme, he said: “It is not little kitchens and pots boiling away, mimsy little things being placed on plates.

“He is cooking with fire… He stands there in his leather apron and it’s roaring like fireworks.

“You’re also, conversely, served quite a lot of raw food. He’s talking about sushi, Japanese techniques.”

Coren said the rules “should probably be modernised”.

“The normal health and safety things, I think it’s fair enough, don’t really apply,” he said.

“It’s much harder to do. It’s not about your fridge and ‘have you put the roast chicken from last night next to the raw chicken’, which can lead to bacteria, it’s a different sort of world.

“They are clearly doing enough to prevent the spread of bacteria but if you imagine a hygiene inspector, in his white coat, with his pen in his top pocket, expecting to see a neat provincial fridge, I can see that he would lose his mind [over Ynyshir].”’ (2)

The problem with Coren’s argument you see is that it relies on rhetorically attacking bureaucracy – ‘hygiene inspector, in his white coat, with his pen in his top pocket, expecting to see a neat provincial fridge’ – rather than making substantive arguments.

For example, he states that:

‘”He is cooking with fire… He stands there in his leather apron and it’s roaring like fireworks.

“You’re also, conversely, served quite a lot of raw food. He’s talking about sushi, Japanese techniques.”’ (3)

This not only misses the mark but also explains why the FSA would come down so heavily on Ynyshir precisely because they are cooking ‘lots of raw food’ including prime sources of food poisoning in the form of fish (notably barely cooked/raw fish dishes like sushi). That is why Britain has the FSA and while I get the point that no one likes bureaucracy – to be clear I absolutely loathe it – Ynyshir is selling food to the British public at circa £500 a pop.

The minimum expectation that comes along with that is that they should be doing it safely and in such a way as they ensure their customers do not get sick as a result of eating their food.

Coren is proposing/defending what I’d call an ‘elite theory of food’ where-in the (non-jewish) hoi polloi who have ‘neat provincial fridges’ and whose food can be interfered with as much as the FSA wishes, while the well-heeled (jewish) elite have such rarefied tastes – shades of ‘nibbling at a roasted swan’s wing’ I dare say – that they require special restaurants with completely different standards and exempt from the FSA’s ‘bureaucratic meddling’ since the (non-jewish) hoi polloi (including the FSA’s hygiene inspectors) simply cannot comprehend the sublimity of their culinary needs and tastes.

The logic of course is that the goyim can be fed on whatever slop corporations can get away with spewing out in cans and plastic packaging, while the jews need to be fed on the best and rarest foods available.

In other words: Coren is in fact here being implicitly viciously anti-gentile as well as jewish supremacist.

Go figure.
