Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes

We are actually watching the same series on Amazon, which we do during our lunch. He's a nice enough fellow, to begin with.

He likes sausage and potatoes. He loves potatoes. He likes pasta.

He's no better cook than I am, which is pretty decent.

He doesn't seem to go BEYOND sausage and potatoes and pasta. And vegetables.

He reads books about places - to us - instead of telling us about his experiences.

He doesn't talk to anybody who doesn't speak English, even with an interpreter. The man is not outgoing or friendly - not a good trait in a travel show.

He will latch on to some little thing - simple cooking is one - and just go on, and on, and on about it.

The next time he thinks of the same topic he will do it again.

Related to that, he's find some place and just devote a boring 5 minutes to it, even though it has little to do with anything.

If there was ever a show that needed an editor, this is it.

I've about had it - we've watched almost all of 3 shows, we won't go on to #4.
