The cooking sketches seem to consist of Floyd throwing together ingredients which someone else has prepared for him. The outputs really don't look particularly good, he seems to drench things in oil, and often does not test the temperature of oil before throwing ingredients into it. Sometimes he just fries things which someone else has made off camera.
There is some travelogue material but done in a rather annoying way, for example film of an Indian dancer juxtaposed with cinema posters.
Keith seems to insist on sticking his fingers into things for some reason. For example at the beginning there is a store selling various things and Keith keeps sticking his fingers into the curry powder. He says that it's not on sale in India but it seems to be on sale in the shop in India in which he's sticking his fingers into it. He also goes to some kind of very large restaurant, buys some dishes, and sticks his fingers into them again.
I don't think Keith knows what he's doing making Indian food.
