> whenever the chef of the restaurant he's trying to save appears to have lost the passion for cooking, he almost always says "I need to put a rocket up his ass". I only recall this once, and he was referring to the arugula they were cooking with, which is called rocket in Britain. He didn't say a rocket, but rather referred to shoving the arugula up the ass of someone who annoyed him. So, no. It's the author's misunderstanding due to regional linguistic differences.
