The controversy around Delia's new recipes on cheating cheap ingredients - tinned meat, frozen chickpeas - is really to do with her conception of 'the people'. She wants to teach in the same way that she gives the beautiful game to Norwich City fans. When she worries that they will pelt her with tomatoes & eggs now she hopes they didn't take her advice & buy frozen. "The good thing about the newspapers is that they are used for tomorrow's fish n' chips" - shows how removed she is from the true culinary expediency. If I was a middle-class fish I would probably sue for bad speculation.
