FQ1: In addition to the dearly departed Julia Child, who is your favorite food personality?

I’ve no idea who Julia Child is, but the alternative would have to be Keith Floyd. Continuing the finest traditions of English eccentricity, he was best known for getting steadily pissed through the course of the programme as he drank the marinade.

FQ2: What meal would you have this culinary genius prepare for you if they asked?

Given a typical Floyd recipe, it would probably be dead animal in alcohol. With a side order of alcohol.

FQ3: If they refused, and you could eat at any restaurant you wanted as a consolation, which one would you choose?

Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saison, which used to be just down the road from me (they’re still there, it was me that moved). The kind of place where if you have ask the price, you can’t afford it. Failing that, the Five Arrows in Waddesdon, which not only does superb food, but has the additional advantage of being part of the Waddesdon Estate, home of the Rothschild family. That’s Rothschild as in Chateau Rothschild, so the wine list isn’t bad, as you might expect…
