    I remember the days before TV chefs and mammies taught us how to cook.

    ...and your mammy had been watching Delia Smith and Fanny Craddock.

    I went off him very recently, which is annoying because I loved his programs.

    He was at a seaside location (as usual) cooking an old fashioned local dish, lamenting the loss of traditional old dishes.

    All going well enjoying the show til I heard "rather like the Irish during the famine - they either didn't know or just forgot they could eat limpets and cockles, so they all starved"

    I wish I could remember what country it was.
    I'm thinking Albania but really not sure.

    I missed that but I think I've watched him for the last time then. Definitely won't be giving him any more money for anything anyway.

    It was Albania I'm sure, and thought the same as yourself initially. It wasn't derogatory though coming from him, and to be fair hes probably right too.
    .

    No he's not right.
    And he's fed into the stereotype that the thicko Irish wouldn't have starved to death if only they'd eaten limpets.
    So really he's just glossed over the fact that they raped the lands of anything vaguely edible and sent it all to London, while letting the dumb ole Irish die.

    A Rick Stein fan!!!?? I've traveled to Padstow and eaten in his restuarants and cafe(s). His fish and chip shop is amazing and great value, we're not eating onion rings at all here btw!

    We've traveled to Cadiz in Southern Spain where he had one of his 'Long Weekend' episodes, we followed some of his routing and ate in Casa Manteca where this lady roared at him and frightened the bejaysus out of him:

    This is us in Casa Manteca:

    So yeah, we could be considered fans :pac:

    His series 'From Venice to Istanbul' is currently on the iplayer. 4 episodes I think. The first episode expires on Monday but the others should be there for another few weeks.

    I saw the first episode last night (Venice) - good watching but I prefer the Mexico series, perhaps because Italy is well covered. The 2nd episode is on Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast.

    I think Albania is the 3rd episode and the 4th then Istanbul presumably. It covers the old trading route it seems.

    When I read the title of this thread I think he has just died. That's just the way it comes across to me.
