I enjoy all programmes about Spain and food and like Rick but I feel the programme is a bit lightweight and skips over things too quickly whereas Floyd's Spain was a bit more in-depth.
As you say though it's all worth watching!

Right on cue you appear with a picture of who was in my opinion the cooking god of tv chefs. I bet he's got a glass of the old tinto in his hand right now.

My partner's sister and her Mallorcan husband hate that episode. They always say that nothing he cooks is "authentic".

Now, personally, I don't care a jot for authenticity in food (I do care how it tastes) but I always reckon what the pair of them mean is that it isnt like how his mother used to cook a dish. And we all know that mothers have their own ways of cooking a particular dish.

I know what they mean, but there are some good shots of Soller and the train

Interesting point about not being 'authentic'.

The one thing iv'e concluded having spoken at great length to many spanish & Majorcan people over many years on the subject of food is that there is no such thing. I have still to find two of them that can agree on the method or ingredients of any one dish.

Absolutely. In any cuisine. Like was my mother's Lancashire Hotpot "authentic" or just her version? And is mine less authentic because it's not quite like hers? Or is it more authentic? Or was the Michelin starred version I had at Northcote more authentic, because the chef did Hotpot on "Great British Menu"?

Sounds good - but too late to change our menu though - see BBC Two - Rick Stein's Spanish Christmas and there are some tasty recipes at BBC - Food - Recipes from Programmes : Rick Stein's Spanish Christmas
