James Martin has passionately demanded one 'horrible' cooking ingredient is banned. Popular for his fancy for butter, he has never hidden his love for it and even wrote a cookbook about it.
But, he can't stand margarine and believes it should be forbidden in the kitchen. He argued: "Margarine should be banned." Saying it's an awful ingredient, he continued: "It's dreadful, dreadful stuff, it's two elements away from plastic, it's horrendous stuff." Detailing his childhood, he shared: "I'm a farmer's kid.
We've always had full-fat milk, butter, and cream. And that's what we had.
There wasn't such a thing as semi-skimmed milk in our house." As reported by the Express, the debate between butter and margarine is common, yet James thinks it's all about ready-made packet food, hidden fat and salt.
Pinpointing the actual issue, he said: "That's the problem in this country. It's not the butter in a butter block or butter you put on your toast.
It's the fact that not as many people cook in the UK as they do in France or Italy or Spain." James often shares memories of his mum letting him prepare his own packed lunches, which resulted in his love for butter. Recalling to The Sunday Post, he said: "I'd have buttered white sliced bread and mashed-up banana with a Cadbury Flake on it, press it down, wrap it in cling film.
Then you get to lunchtime, and it would sort of look when it was out the cling film almost like a tennis ball." James recently hit headlines when it was revealed he had split from his girlfriend of 12 years, Louise Davies.
