Hey what ever happened to Emeril? I don’t remember him getting milkshake ducked or anything but my memory sucks. He just kind of disappeared from tv.

I’m guessing he refused to get a new hairstyle and Food Network decided he wasn’t edgy enough

When I worked in a bookstore, we were a stop for a book signing tour of his. He showed up with a big thing of crawfish etouffee for the staff. And he was really nice to everyone.

He's showed up as a guest/recurring judge a lot in the last handful or Top Chef seasons and it's always nice to see him. :unsmith:

Chicken tikka isn't. Chicken tikka masala, as far anyone can tell, was invented by a Pakistani guy running a restaurant in Britain (albeit to appeal to 1950s white tastes), not a white guy.

It's how her species communicates

The instructions for making tortillas was to press hard with the bottom of a casserole dish.

Honestly after seeing just the headlines it was short on straight up racism (the joke at the beginning and the Xanadu bit were not good) and was a lot more "no one in GB has ever seen Mexico."

Paul makes a reference to having just got back from Mexico so I wonder how much of this was as short sighted as him saying "I took this awesome vacation once and here's how that can fit into the show."

More cringey and kind of hilarious than that bad. Funny in that it shows how little research they did / how poor the typical English person's understanding of Mexico is. Disrespectful for sure, but the jokes more on them than the subject.

For some real bad stuff, Top Gear did a just astonishingly awful segment in 2010:

quote:

During the second episode of series 16, the presenters mocked the Mexican Mastretta MXT sports car on account of it being designed in Mexico. James May introduced the car as "The Tortilla", then remarked that he did not remember what it was called. Hammond then stated: "Cars reflect national characteristics [...] a Mexican car's just going to be a lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache, leaning against a fence asleep, looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat". This was followed up by James May suggesting that all Mexican food resembles "refried sick" and "sick with cheese on it", Richard Hammond remarking, "I'm sorry, but just imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican"[20] and Jeremy Clarkson adding, "It'd be brilliant because you could just go straight back to sleep again!" Clarkson ended the segment by suggesting that the Mexican ambassador to Britain would be too lazy to make any kind of complaint.

The shocking thing about the Top Gear guys' Mexican racism was that James May went along with it and laughed. I've seen him in a lot of shows and he's usually just a kind and goofy guy.

I’m sad to report James May is just as much of a dick as any of them. I’ve seen him filming in public, and just being an arsehole to the crew. Avuncular is just his screen persona.

It really is a better baking competition than anything America has to offer. But you can’t forget that at the end of the day, it’s still British people giving out awards for baking.

Canadian or one of the other non-British Baking Shows should do a British Week where it's nothing but boiled potatoes and unseasoned organ meat.

I would say the british one should do the same but the canadian one does a good enough job of hamfistedly stereotyping canadian food on it's own.

Having a taco challenge for a baking competition is wild. Yeah you need skills to make tortillas, but why not do something else like bolillos. Maybe make tortas if you need to have fillings in there.

The Australian version is even better in the wholesome department and the NZ version is an incredible look into how much kiwis are, as a whole, just capable of not giving a gently caress.

I watched two or so episodes of the American Bake Off. The producers condensed the episodes down to 40 minutes from 60, and they added those lovely hot takes that American reality TV uses. The end result was really, really terrible TV.

Do the Australian and Canadian and whoever else versions stream anywhere?

Netflix, if you're in the correct region or have a VPN. I have everything set up to download to my Plex server, it wasn't hard at all.

Fair warning, if you watch Australian Bake Off skip the first season for exactly the same reasons as American Bake Off. They went back to the known formula for season 2 onward and Australian Bake Off season 2 is my favorite season of any Bake Off series.
