[edit] Ainsley's Barbecue Bible/Koran
Very amusing, but isn't it "Ainsley's Barbecue Bible", really? I don't think there's any religious allusions, it's just a colloquial use of the word. 170.202.204.242 17:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Red Dwarf
I dont remember him being in Red Dwarf... can anyone quote an episode and character? TR_Wolf
- I didn't believe that either, but IMDb lists it as a guest appearance as "Gelf Chief" in 1993 [1] mensch • t 19:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia section disputed
Since 86.16.102.3 (talk • contribs) has added odd trivia and peculiar references to individuals' African heritage, I now seriouly doubt any trivia section touched by him/her. Therefore, as I have little time to investigate this, I am tagging it to garner those willing and able to do so. Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony 13:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More trivia
I seriously dispute the trivia fact that Obie Trice references Ainsley in Adrenaline Rush from the 8 Mile OST. Cockers 11:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Per WP:BLP, if in doubt (or it doesn't have a citation), take it out! --Steve (Slf67) talk 22:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
He is defeninatley name checked in the song. Towards the end of the final verse the line is;
"So throw up your hands and peep out your man's
When I come through next quarter trust it in you's,
And trust I'm attackin it,
I cook up the hot shit like Ainsley Harriot"
it is is blatent when listened to and its on every lyric site... so why isnt this being left in?
see here for lyric results from google: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=DVFA,DVFA:1970--2,DVFA:en&q=adrenaline+rush+lyrics+harriot

There's also a version where that line reads :"And trust I'm attackin it, I hook up the hot shit like ay see we havin it". So which one is right? The lyrics are pretty offensive, have we a quote that Harriott is deeply honoured to be name checked in that way? --Steve (Slf67) talk 01:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sexuality
Gay? Yay or nay?
[edit] Race
Isn't he white? I heard he had melanism. See interview with Parkinson 5/12/1997.
[edit] Black
He is black, why does this fact keep geting removed??
- Does it matter? Do we need to state that Gordon Ramsay is a white chef? mensch • t 20:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I thought the picture was self-evident, but I guess if you're blind... Are you blind? Do blind people care that he's black? - CobaltBlueTony 20:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I my browser dosent show pictures, and I know other peoples dont too. They, like me, may not have known that Ainsley is black
- You're still living in the Dark Ages of the Browser Era? They can't see Gordon Ramsay then either, what a shame. It doesn't matter whether someone is white or black, explicitly stating that Harriot is a black chef might offend people, because it sounds like a hint of racism. mensch • t 21:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Nothing racist about it, its a point of fact and should be left in, its the truth is it not?
- Of course it's the truth, but it's not of any encyclopedic value. It's like stating that Tony Blair is a white man and Nelson Mandela a black man. So it shouldn't be left in, such edits will still be viewed as vandalism. mensch • t 22:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
what of someone is reserching black chefs and is unable to view pictures?? I feel that it should be added.
