Galloping Gourmet

 

I used to love the dashing Galloping Gourmet, otherwise known as Graham Kerr.

He always added wine to everything he cooked as well as drank it on the air and his nose would light up like
Rudolph the Red Nosed Rein Deer.
He was very entertaining and always invited a member of the audience to try out his dishes.

The names of his dishes were just as distinguishing as his show.
For example:

Colonial Goose: lamb stuffed with breading and herbs

La Tarte Piscine : peach tart with kirsch and almonds

Baby’s Head Pudding: beef kidneys and oysters

Maresan Matches : fish rolled in bacon with stuffed pastries.

Every day was a surprise in his kitchen until he had an accident which left him
temporarily paralyzed.

After he sobered up he got into healthier food recipes but his show was not as
funny and then he disappeared from television.

He did get some Emmy’s though
This is a short write up on him.

“In 1969, TV chef and cookbook author Graham Kerr made a splash with his show -- The Galloping Gourmet, seen by about 200 million viewers in 38 countries. His fondness for high-fat ingredients led Weight Watchers to brand him "The Most Dangerous Man in the World," but after he and his wife Treena became Christians, all that changed. Now, the Kerrs tell what they’re doing differently to improve their own health while saving money to feed the poor. ”


A Few Puns:

"A beer please, and one for the road."

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the
craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your
kayak and heat it too.
