DANDELION/BURDOCK

[Ace]

I recall this chef who after cooking used to pick a bemused lady from the audience to dine what bilge he'd just knocked up. Can't say if this went further 'off camera' but I know where I'd place MY money!!

Think is was Canadian wasn't he?

Always looked like an US made program when I used to watch it.

I see Jamie is going to stop using the word 'pukka'.

Still at least he tried to give some youngsters a bit of ago at trying their hand in the kitchen see if they could make the grade. Catering can be a very harsh life....I should know did it for a few years!! Bloody hell must of been mad!!

what about Keith Floyd, now he was entertaining, the fact he actually cooked something was a mere coincidence, he must go down as the wildman of the kitchen. Not sure he would be allowed to do his ?Act? now as it would not be politically ?correct? .... shame.

Funny you should ask this question steve56. I've just been reading a NZ magazine article and at the end the author asks "Why Dandelion and Burdock?"
Btw, there is an excellent Gingerbeer out here called Hardy Boys, its 0.7% alcohol.

hi mart,that is a coincidence because theres a woman on the FRU site that lives in NZ and gets the drink imported from yorkshire,its a funny old world

[steve56]
