I mentioned back in January that Samak Sundaravej, the prime minister of Thailand, presents a TV cookery programme on Thai food called ‘Tasting, Grumbling’, wondering how long it would be before we go the same way (not that Delia would make a worse cock-up of government than this lot).
Alas, time has caught up with Samak. Despite doing the last four programmes free, he charged for bringing the vegetables to the studio and this has been deemed unconstitutional. He has to resign but the good news is that his party are likely to vote him back.
His favourite dish is pork leg cooked in Coca Cola, and traditionally after the cooking part of the show he delivers a high spirited monologue on a subject of his choice. Just think of Brown doing this.
I urge the Thais to have him back. It would be a tragedy if this man were lost to public life.
