DVD Description
"Tell you what a great life would be, that would be one in which we could just ride bikes, cook food and talk b******s." ...So began Dave Myer's and Si King's quest for adventure and good food. Packing their unpretentious northern humour and enduring friendship on the back of two monster motor bikes, these amiable, leather-clad hairies road out to make the best travel-cum-cookery-cum-comedy show ever seen. Around the world - from Transylvania to Vietnam, from Namibia to Mexico - they make friends, emerse themselves in local culture and learn to cook regional delicacies, however daunting. From hairy rickshaw pedallers to hairy caravan-trainee Donna kebab merchants they'll try anything; from crocodile satay in Namibia, garlic-fried grass hoppers in Mexico to coconut worms in Vietnam. They'll taste anything, and from the Isle of Man TT to the Fairy Circles of Damaraland they'll party anywhere! Full of zest, warm-hearted humour and plenty of surprising, yet easily made at home recipes, this is a fabulous series about two men, their sense of fun and the only thing they love more than their beloved bikes - food !

Synopsis
Filmed in the vein of 'Two Fat Ladies', Dave Myers and Si King travel on their motorbikes across the world and learn to cook the culture dish of the region. They are not specially trained cooks, just two men who love food. Includes Irish Stew, Namibia zebra burgers, crocodile satay, the world's largest fried egg and Pork Samale in Transylvania.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how all cookery shows should be..., 28 Jul 2006
I love this series. The boys clearly love what they do and their confidence infront of the camera, (and behind the wok / saucepan / griddle), grows with each episode - you really feel like you're going through this experience with them. Yes it's rough and ready stuff - but that's the point isn't it? If you got on a bike and went to Vietnam and started to cook by the side of a building - you're not going to have your copy of Deila to hand - or all those fancy Nigella utensils you don't really need.

This is as much a travel show as it is a cookery show. The boys take you to these places and cook - but also show you the culture and history and talk and share good times with real people; giving you a true sense of the places they visit.

Their website has just announced a new, third series which is great as I can't get enough of these guys - let's just hope that someone events smelly-vision soon. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and a bit of cookery!, 19 April 2007
By Mr. G. S. Digby (Corby, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you like a good laugh, haven't been, or can't afford, to travel to other countries around the world and like to cook, or just eat, something a bit different, then this is for you.
This is not a lesson in how to cook, nor will you find the 'Nouvelle Cuisine' favoured by the pseuds who have more money than sense, (American comedian Jackie Mason said it was French for 'No Food')!
What you get here is a travelogue with a basic instruction on how popular local dishes are cooked and enjoyed.
Those of you who believe good food only comes in tiny portions on a large plate with artistic decoration will hate it. The majority of Brits will warm to Si and Dave..two non-manufactured TV personalities who just exude natural warmth,humour and enthusiasm for something that tastes great!
At the time of writing (April 2007), the third series is being shown on BBC2. Even better than the first two!. Sit back and enjoy a trip round he world with two mates and enjoy a bite to eat along the way!

4.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly funny take on cooking and culture........., 30 Mar 2007
By Ms. S. Pratt (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched this programme for the first time on the evening of 29th March 2007 and thought it was brilliant!!
So refreshing and humourous to watch.
Si and Dave were travelling through Southern India and tasting Indian doughnut snacks in the street areas. Then visiting the tea grown high in the lush green hills and talking about which teas they particularly liked.

They also got dressed up and very intricately made up; to have a go at Kathak dancing (they did quite well actually.)
They also went to a fish market Paradise with a huge range of all different types of amazing fish.

I love the way their spontenaity and the way take the micky out of each other. Throwing in one liners here and there.They really get right into the culture of a place and make friends with the locals and are always polite and open minded.
Obviously they cooked up of some traditional Indian dishes in a laid back easy going manner and then tuck in afterwards.
I would definately recommned watching them.
