It does invariably seem to be a rotating cast of male friends to do Ina's table decorations while she cooks them dinner. In counter evidence none of them went with her the other day when she fed the local Firehouse.

It is without doubt the campest throwback on TV - fat chick cooking food and making elaborate table settings for her waspy old queen friends (and husband), invariably the local florist and cake shop owner. Very Boys in the Band - might as well be 1971..

Millhouse, just for example, might be a suspect. Ina's guests are clearly long-term convicts...

Have you seen Nigel Slater's latest series? He seems to find men who run food shops, trap then in their little kitchens and force feed them fried mush that he has taken from their fridges.

That artisan aoli, stored in a handmade jar, made from virgin olive oil in an exclusive Umbrian smallholding and eggs from chickens who sleep on velvet cushions, which he just happens to have, unwanted, in his fridge full of brown paper parcels wrapped in handmade string.
