I was very much in love with the Galloping Gourmet when I was little, I think it was my love of food and love of ponies, my obsession was so great that my mum made me and my pony a fancy dress chef costume when I was about 7 for a pony club event...and I have never looked back since.
I used to love Rick, but he is trying a little too hard to be like Floyd and there will only ever be one Floyd, Nigel Slater doesn't do it for me, but I do like Hugh FW and Gizzie Erskine, and secretley love the hairy bikers.. :)
