Tannat

"Our expectations of men are completely different. No one demands that Jamie Oliver adapt to a female gender role just because home cooking has traditionally been a female activity. The TV chef is immediately taken seriously by trading on his laddishness. Oliver doesn't chop basil. Oliver shoves the basil in a kitchen towel, bashes it one the table, grunts, conquers, forces the basil into submission – before he tosses it in the pot."

I know Marçal is trying to make a point but I'm pretty sure Jamie Oliver actually stacks the basil leaves in a small pile, rolls them into a cigar shape, and chops the cigar into strips. Bashing basil doesn't really work.
