has anybody seen this UK (cant be positive but very likely
BBC) cooking/travel show...

the concept is brilliant for it's sheer simplicity..goto to
an ethnic takeaway shop in and around London..meet the cooks
and then send them on a journey back to their homeplace to
teach and learn how the same dishes that they are selling in
fast food version are made back in the home country by the
real people authentically..and see if they can hack it with
the real deal with real ingredients etc...

very cool!

They should go to McDonalds and take one of the fry cooks
back to face the inscrutable hamburger masters of New
Jersey.

Do they leave them in their country of origin? I should hope
so. There's too many foreigners in this country getting put
up in palaces and mansions while I slog my guts out.

I grew up next door to a chinese family who weren't very
westernised, nice people, we're still in contact and by
coincedance, even though we've both moved house 2 times
since then, we're now living very close again :)

They had a chinese restaurant & takeaway that we used to go
to, but whenever I went over their house for tea the food
was quite different. I imagine most people from abroad think
americans eat burgers for every meal, just because that's
what they sell from "american" food outlets abroad...

to call someone who works on mcdonalds a cook is an insult
to all other cooks.. they dont cook food, they build food..
just like you build a car, but less complicated and from
carcasses..

I know. The very fact that there is that macdonalds
procedure "bible" takes away any creativity- the cook is no
longer and artist, but an automaton...

People don't order a filet-o-fish expecting blackened
lungfish and asparagus in a raspberry coulis. Keep your
fruity creativity to yourself food geek.
