I suspect the motives of eating it on TV, though...I don't think it's to educate us about the culinary cultures of other folk; we knew already that Puffin are eaten in Iceland, just as we know that Dog is eaten in China, or Monkeys elsewhere. I would have thought that a TV cookery programme is intended in normal circumstances to educate us as to what we can do in our own kitchens, and frankly the local Tesco's here doesn't do Puffin yet. So what's the point in showing us how to cook it? Like I said, I've eaten Dog abroad, but I wouldn't understand the point in showing how to cook it on a TV programme here. GR's point was not to educate but to shock, I reckon, because we're not shocked by his manner anymore. Believe me, I'm no prude, but the aggressive manner and abusive language is just misplaced in a cookery programme. And a bit childish. But I suppose it works for him and he makes money out of it, so Fair Play to him.</p></blockquote><p></p>
