Piperade recipe - Keith Floyd - BBC

[claretben]

I love this, he's translating like a gent as she rips his food to pieces.

The one and only Keith Floyd!

[Arnatuile11]

someone tell me what 'comsa' means, she only said it about twenty times in this video (excuse my terrible French spelling)

[mythoe]

@Arnatuile11 "Comme ça" → "[do it] like this"

[stupidjunk878]

Why isn't she speaking Basque?

[mythoe]

@stupidjunk878 Traditionally, the State in France (even before the Republic) has been particularly repressive of regional languages. Linguistic unity has almost driven to extinction minority languages in France. It is, thus, not surprising that she doesn't speak Basque...for the majority of French from the Pays Basque do not speak it as a result of this universalising policy.

[Carnilon1]

@mythoe That is true, but perhaps she's speaking French because Keith doesn't speak Basque?

[thisherecat2]

Mais c'est incroyable ça!

[NovaScotiaChick]

This is making me hungry!

I remember another episode where he was in France. He was slurping wine as usual, and bitching about an old woman who was standing in the back, calling her an old witch or something, because she didn't speak a word of French.

Tu m'énerves, he says towards the end on this clip.  Well, she was getting on my nerves too.

Brilliant TV chef. There will never be another like him (although I also rather liked brash Anthony Bourdain).

Santé, Keith!

[Unluckymejt]

Would be better if he just simply punched her square in the face and carried on..

[TheSnowballEarth]

The main problem that I always saw w/ Floyd's version is that he uses waaay too much oil/fat for a dish of that size. I'd use one tablespoon of olive oil or fat whereas he uses at least 2-3 tbsp (i.e. I would use one-third to one-half of what he uses there). Secondly, it looks as if the onions and peppers are pre-cooked (say the onions are). Bottom-line: his dish is too damned greasy.

And it does look like scrambled eggs w/ canned ratatouille tossed in! Miss you Floyd!!!

[rquader]

Great!!

[Rigmaster22]

How many TV chefs today would attempt to make a foreign dish whilst being berated by a French lady whilst also being bilingual and translating for the viewers her criticisms? Can you see Gordon Ramsay or Nigella Lawson doing that? Nope, I can't either! Keith Floyd is an absolute legend and long may his programmes continue to play!

[vitalbits11]

@Rigmaster22: Gordon Ramsay started out in France; he is as bilingual as the Late Great Mr Floyd.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@Rigmaster22

Nigella would employ an actor to play her French sister-in-law, who would feign delight at the dish. Ramsay would allocate 98% of the camera time to his fucking face and have the editor string together various shots of the French lady looking shocked and amazed before presenting her dish, made to look as if he made it, in front of her, showing her enjoying her dish, made to look as if it's his

[djamorpheus]

Does anyone think that keith floyd and that woman are basically the same person

[cardboardgiraffe29]

@djamorpheus yes! he was hullicinating about his alter ego and even the camera picked it up

[farhmoha]

This lady is hilarious

[Anguis79]

Hmm ok. Well, I guess she had not been fucked in like 20-30 years. I could have eaten that.

[GTWHITEFEVER]

My Mother when im cooking : )

Hey RuudJH ...FUCK YOU ...TWAT !

[GTWHITEFEVER]

My Mother when im cooking : )

[RuudJH]

Why would a chef let some weird french woman bother him in the kitchen?

[lafaraona]

@RuudJH, maybe because she's Basque and she's proud of her culinary culture so she doesn't like it when somebody distorts Basque cuisine the way Keith Floyd did...

[RuudJH]

@lafaraona Ok. well I understand that.

I don't have high regard for Keith Floyd anyway: to me he seems more like a door-to-door salesman-with-crappy-vacuumcle­aners, trying to make something to eat, than an actual chef.

[Anguis79]

@RuudJH

Fuck you. Do you know what "chef "is? Did Floyd ever said he was a "chef".

Idiot.

[RuudJH]

@Anguis79

You win the price for the most inappropriate retarded answer of the day

[diakomes]

FRENCH OLD HAGGIS

[countfiero]

What we do NOT see here is that right after trying Keith's version, SHE cooks one and makes Keith try it. And to be quite honest there is virtually NO difference. Don't you just love the French? They are SO arrogant. If Keith went to hell after he died ...SHE was there waiting to torment him for all eternity, but I'm SURE he's cooking for the angels instead. RIP - To one of the best and most entertaining chefs of ALL time.

[lickthoseboobs]

@countfiero Don't you just love the yanks. Over sweet, over acidic tomato sauce with soggy texture, but hey it virtually looks the same as the sauce which the Neapolitans make, so it must be the same. They are so cute, with such political correctness and low standards no wonder they eat such mediocre crap.

[gizmono2]

@countfiero

Have you seen the programme after this part? She cooks one afterwards and Floyd admits her version was much better. Shows what a great bloke Floyd was that he admits it!

[nejamo]

@gizmono2 yeh the bbc has since ensured that the longer clip has been removed... not sure why as that was the best part

[reginafromrio]

"i have no interest in eating this" hahahaha

[19996669991]

Brilliant!!!

RIP Keith Floyd. You were great. Can't imagine Aynsley bloody Harriet letting someone criticise his cooking on his own show.

[pataphysician66]

Floyd was great! RIP Keith Floyd.

[rootbeerfan6]

She is more annoying first thing in the morning.

[grechjames]

hah destroying floyd

[rootbeerfan6]

she acts like some ones mother. Nag nag nag.

[shifttradition]

i like her, shes got spunk

[comanchio1976]

@shifttradition I really don't think she has got spunk, would explain why she's so frustrated!;)
