Customer Reviews

Floyd's always good, even if the food isn't.
Of all his Floyd Around The Wherever series, this one I felt was the weakest by a long way. Floyd is as good as ever and his boundless enthusiasm for the country, the people he meets, the cultures and the food is as irrepressible as you'd expect, but the actual food is so dull. Everything is simple, very little of it is what I would want to try for myself, and most of the time he seems to leave his 'tasters' less than impressed. As a series it's something of a struggle to get through and is nowhere near the enjoyable heights of culinary creativity and appreciation as say the Italy one, or Spanish. The Fjord one was also very good, too and let's not forget the brilliant Far Flung Floyd. This isn't in the same league, but anything with Keith Floyd in is worth a look.
