Jamie Oliver reveals he's been sent death threats

Jamie Oliver has still not recovered from the wrath he received from the people of Spain for tampering with the country's signature dish, paella. 

His addition of chorizo to paella united Spaniards across the country - against him. Paella traditionally includes meat, fish, shellfish and vegetables.

“They went medieval on me,” Jamie said on the Graham Norton Show.

“By the way,” Oliver continued, “it got so much darker than that. It trended. For weeks! I had death threats and all sorts because of a bit of sausage.

“Honestly, I was in Canada at the time, and I was talking to the President. We were doing whole things about great things about childhood obesity strategies in Canada because our one fell to pieces, and as I went out the BA lounge they went, 'Oh, you're in the paper today!’ And I went brilliant, good solid work, and she went, “yeah - chorizo. Spanish don’t like it.

“Whatever I did that month was overtaken by the chorizo.”

Oliver though, added fuel to the fire with this closing statement. 

“By the way, just FYI (for your information), it tastes better with chorizo.”
