You heard more from me than you think.  I also supplied everything they 
said about Cornish Pasties, as well as a citation from the Arthurian 
corpus which they mentioned.  Recipe and lore on my web page

He was actually very nice.  He capers a lot on camera but that may just 
be an over-reaction from how little he gets to do on his other show, ALL 
AMERICAN FESTIVALS.  But he did hang around for about an hour after the 
shoot, chatting with my family as I interviewed him about his career and 
family.  

What I found interesting about the demos on this episode were the 
completely opposite philosophies and methods demostrated by the Pecan 
Pie Lady and myself.  Each version of pie crust in particular has its 
reason and season;  there were no wrong answers.  

I had them bill me as a "culinary historian" because it sounded better 
than "harmless historical nut".  One of these days I need to write some 
books for some kind of media credibility.

WOO HOO!  I'm a tagline!  I am so stoked -- I really worked hard on 
composing that slogan.
