Also has anyone also noticed Keith Floyd never does rice or breads?

He never even apologizes for the fact this food is missing
from his show,?do you think he simply does not like doing it
or don't they cook rice and bake bread in India ?

I always enjoyed his television shows but this one?
about cooking around India is more than a little
repetitive. I recorded the whole lot a few month ago
and noticed a pattern of some of this, and a little bit of that etc
going on.

I have never seen him make the garlic and ginger paste,
rice, breads, starters, deserts and side dishes (relish etc)
this would have made the show better by far.

If I am wrong sorry have I missed it, did i blink.

Please don't flame me!

It's simply something I have noticed, after all it is a cookery program
and would like to ask what others think.

I still like Keith Floyd for showing us diffrent kitchens etc
just, why is the above missing from the show.

If I am wrong please delete this post asap,
and sorry for me making a complete fool of myself.

cheers, Graeme.

(just seen the positive post on floyd below, sorry. I'm in for it now)

Don't be silly !!! Opinions are great .In my opinion i`d rather not have a phone stuffed up my arse !! anyone beg to differ ?? ;D ;D ;D

Your opinions are welcome graeme

graeme,

A lot of the dishes he makes are traditional, not what we would purchase in a takeaway.
I learned a lot from his show and watch it all the time on the cooking channel.  In addition i also think "Coconut Coast" is a really good show and more up to date....you can learn a lot from that as well...

I fear he won't be making rice, bread or anything else now...

Oh dear...very sad news indeed ...i remember reading(dont know where) how Floyd was more or less living rough in his last few years..god knows how this came to happen,he was obviously in financial ruin and presumably mental distress too.
  I'll miss his(and Clive the camera man's) banter.

The guy was a legend. I met him once. One of my best friends used to be a chef at the Dorchester in Park Lane and knew him. Many years ago a group of us went for a drink with him. I can't say I've ever met a more charming guy in my life and he had such a passion for food and certainly turned the food industry around to what it is today.

I take my hat off to that guy.......he will be sadly missed......

Yes, an absolute legend and didint know he had left us all. It is really sad too if he spent his later years living rough as he took TV cheffing to a new level. PP

RIP Keith, your TV programs were honest and magic

As chef Marco Pierre White commented,

"A little piece of Britain died yesterday which will never be replaced," 

"He was an individual, he was a maverick, he was mercurial, he was magical, he was special, he was rare."

Ditto the sentiments above but while he had definitely better times in his flamboyant life I don't think you could say he spent any time living rough, at least if his LAST MEAL is anything to go by.

RIP, sadly missed.
