Former Tasting and Complaining host forced to resign as Thai PM
Thailand's prime minister was forced out of office Tuesday along with his Cabinet after a court ruled that he had broken a conflict-of-interest law by hosting TV cooking shows.
There sure is a lot of crap on TV cooking shows. We covered it in our 2004 paper here.
Others have apparently borrowed our idea. Imitation is a form of flattery, I guess. Or it's just posing.
Samak Sundaravej's 73, a self-proclaimed foodie, hosted a popular television cooking show — "Tasting and Complaining" — for seven years before becoming prime minister. But he also made several appearances after taking office, breaking a constitutional prohibition on private employment while in office.

I caught part of a Wolfgang Puck program the other day. He was preparing a custard. At one point, Puck dipped a spoon into the custard, showed the audience how the custard coated the spoon, scraped the spoon with his finger and licked his finger. The spoon then went back into the custard for a repeat. Next, he put down the spoon, took some soft butter with both hands, and added it to the tempered custard. YUMMY!
You're referring to bottom second from the left, right? The one cutting raw meat (I think) and veggies on the same board?
