Tom Parker Bowles appeared on stage whilst hosting the Santa Rita Cigar Smoker of The Year Dinner and Awards in Canary Wharf.
The food critic listed various things that bring him joy, such as cigars and wine, before laying into those which he dislikes, such as “the eternally b***** offended”.
Parker Bowles said: “We are here at Boisdale celebrating not just the joys of cigars and wine, but the basic fundamental pleasure – of being together and making merry in the most civilised and open-minded surroundings.

In his book, Cooking and the Crown, released on September 24 earlier this year, he described the King as “the kindest, most knowledgeable, lovely man.”
He continued: “He is someone you can ask about food and it’s like asking an academic. He’s trodden every corner of his kingdom; he knows farming – he’s a farming hero. It wouldn’t have happened without the Palace and the King.
“I knew that I was putting my head into the jaws of a lion, but if I can’t do it now, after a quarter of a century of writing about food, when can I do it?
“But, of course, it will be seen in some circles as nepotism.”
