Sir – Much as I admire Chris Gray’s honesty (Gray Matter, October 25) in admitting that he eats vegetables from packets enhanced with sticky plastic sauce, this must surely bring into question his ability to continue as this newspaper’s chief restaurant critic.
Any self-styled gourmet and food writer must surely follow the tenets of enjoyable, healthy eating — “Do not eat anything your grandmother would not recognise as food and do not eat anything out of a packet”. It is time Mr Gray fell on his carving knife and someone else be appointed.
In order to assist you with this, you will shortly be receiving my foodie CV — encased in filo.
