Ive hesitated to answer
I rarely watched his many fine shows
for personal selfish reasons :
why was i not there with him tasting so many delights
and having so many interesting conversations about food
and fellowship sharing food
all over the world?
of course, except for an episode in Northern Laos
where he visited a very remote group of ' guerrillas '
of the many tasty offerings they suggested to him , there were jars of many odd insects and such
some large
preserved in home made very high test ' hooch '
he didn't hesitate when offered these to taste
me ? id have passed
I did see with a friend an episode in England
Scotch Eggs , and a discussion of the origin
and [#ROY#%RY(@#Y$R_#@Y%]
of Brexit.
I believe the world he saw and experienced
troubled him greatly, in a personal manner
for those he saw who had so little
an episode in Haiti , with a few local people , in a park.
they had the local push cart food , which he found delicious.
Children all around looked vary hungry
so he bought the entire cart of food , rice and beans
and the children lined up for a meal.
the police arrived and created order
violently.
he also personally protested past violence
now forgotten
its about food here , but he remembered the bombing in Cambodia in his own way.
its a shame he found no personal relief from the ills of the world
as they affected him
in his life time.
and so his talent and insight has been lost.
