Places visited include South Africa, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Zambia.Floyd's Fjord Fiesta - This culinary adventure traverses the frozen arctic wastelands of Lapland, crosses Sweden and Denmark, fords Norway's majestic fjords, and visits Greenland.

Entertaining and educational
Keith Floyd was without doubt the best at this type of television. He was entertaining, charismatic and had a wonderful slapdash approach to cooking. And, you also get a very informative and entertaining culinary history/travelogue of which ever country he happens to be in. These programmes have taught me a lot and made me a much better cook than I was before.I was initially a bit reluctant to spend £30-plus on a DVD set, but when you consider that you are getting 7 series across 14 disks, it is actually quite a bargain and I enjoyed every minute of these wonderful programmes.

The original globe travelling chef genre - and top of his class!
Keith Floyd laid the groundwork from which many other TV chefs have learned (and earned) to their advantage.He has always presented good wholesome plates of food that I would LOVE to EAT - none of these pretentious towers of food (small portions!) that the first thing you do is dismantle in order to eat - and none of these smears of god knows what fouling the plate in the guise of a pureé or foams which look like they have been twice digested and regurgitated.He has always been my favourite TV chef - a unique character, never far from a good wine (or 30!) - although I do remember a 'dry period', charming but also capable of a hissy fit (hilarious), keen to learn himself from all kinds of cooks from the very well trained to the 'lowly housewife' feeding her family and passing it all onto us - his eager audience.As someone else has already remarked on the single series format 'Around the Med' - each episode still ends abruptly with no end credits - quite bizarre - and this has not been sorted in this presentation. I have marked down from a certain 5 STARS in terms of content - to just 4 for this single reason (to date) which the producers of the dvd set have not rectified. I was almost in some doubt that I had been sent a bona fide copy and not a bootleg - but it seems it is a long standing problem which for some reason the production company have no will to put right.Very much missed - 14th September is celebrated each year in our house with a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape - not the high end! - to remember all those amazing cooking, travel, social history and local history memories delivered by the unique Keith Floyd - may he RIP.
