The French think their horrid cooking is tops. The last time I was in France I hated the food. The next time I'm in France, I'm heading straight for the nearest Moroccan restaurant.
If France didn't have all those Arabs, the food would really suck.
British food isn't half bad. At least you can get a good meat pie and chips!
Jaques Chirac once said "after Britain, Norway has the worst cooking."
I think it's the other way around; after Britain, FRANCE has the WORST food!
The portions are tiny, it's too expensive, and you can't even tell what the %@8& you're ordering. The snarling "garcons" bully you into ordering "souris en fromage chaud" which (unknown to the tourist) means "mice in melted cheese."
On the TV show right after this scene ends the French woman shows how to really cook it and Floyd plays a Stranglers tune (Northern Irish pre punk band) and the camera man zooms in and out on her as to the beat of the music. I dosen't get an better.
The french dont like when you do THEIR cuisine, esp the old dears. She had her mind made up before she tried it. I am a chef in france and know this reaction only too well!
Keith says "Its lovely"
She said "Really? I doubt it. Im going to try to taste it but its difficult because i seen the way you made it. It doesnt give me the desire to taste it because its truly not great. You understand? Translate!"
Pause at 0:19 - Look at that face! Haha! This is going in my favourites! Poor old keith!
Forget the cooking, if you speak French to them with a British or US accent, then you might as well be emasculating them! There's nothing that insults them more than a Yank speaking their sacred tongue with his own accent:
"Jeh voodray oon cart postal poor eetad yoonese, see voo play."
I'll never forget the look on her face. I wasn't sure if she was shocked (that I spoke fluent French), pissed off, or just being a "canard."
lol to be honest though, with old locals like that, the fact that the cook wasn't.. er.. *her* was enough for the dish to be consigned to the rubbish heap :) jamie oliver received the same treatment from a bunch of Italian babushkas :)
Told it how it was and what we wanted to hear about the trivial irritances of television critics, producers and directors. Put a few nationalities in their place..Good for you floydiee!!
I have hated gardening,tidy house,breakfast tv with a stereotype male with a suit and tie and a female with heels, and most of all cookery progs all my life.The exception too the rule was Floyd. Some people shed a tear for Swayse and thats ok. I shed a tear for Floyd . Most of the chefs on tv are tame, even ramsey and jamie .Boring and fitting into tv's manipulation of their audience. Floyd was unique.
Miss him - there's no way one of those big egos around now would let a clip like that go out! It's even funnier if you understand what she's actually saying!!!
Does anyone remember when Floyd first went on the BBC back in 1987? He cooked a large hotpot for a rugby team. When it was time to serve it up he had drunk so much wine he dropped the whole lot and slipped up in it. I remember him looking at the camera and just laughing his head off. Brilliant TV moment I've never forgotten it.
He took her criticisms on the chin and quite rightly. When he did cook badly his food looked rank and under prepared and no pleasure for the unfortunates he foisted the stuff at.
If he hadn't had the Heart Attack,I really don't think he had many more years left in him,2 maybe 3 and in that time,he would've had more money troubles to worry about(I think he talked about having to leave the House he loved in France) and would've had to go through months of debilitating chemotherapy.
All this would've made the last part of his life very uncomfortable and I think he would've died a very unhappy man.
After seeing him in that Channel 4 programme and knowing about his Cancer,I'm actually quite glad that the great man went quickly,painlessly and feeling quite happy with life.
Wow this morning it was patrick swayze now floyd eh. He had a good life though and apparantly he died after eating a plate of oysters and drinking champagne and wine what a way to go.
A true character. I met him in december in phuket thailand where he has a restaurant. He was a bit drunk in an aussie bar but was polite and a nice guy. Will be missed. I enjoyed his programs.
Greatly inspiring, fabulously entertaining, and the original outdoor TV chef. Keith brought us real people of the world and real food of the world with none of the artifice.
RIP Keith - with a bottle of the best quality red wine.
Some french people can be very like that, if you don't do something exactly how they were thought it it MUST be rubbish. And they will never admit otherwise.
Anyway RIP Keith you were all ways good to watch, have a good splash of red in heaven tonight.
he cooked like me, because i drink all the way through cooking too, he was the origial and best, and he drove an Aston Martin convertible.... brilliant. RIP

snobby french bitch, he could of cooked her the most amazing dish ever and she would of said it was shit,fucking french are absolute wankers, English cooking is now the best in the world
On a recent trip around Europe the worst food I ate was in France. I think they have become lazy about their cuisine tradition. Spanish cuisine is by far the most exciting - using fresh ingredients and cooked simply with plenty of garlic!
