What a person is used to eating at home isn't always available in other countries. There are still tourists whose eyes and ears remain shut. I've only met a few like that and they're a pain in the arse. I was so embarrassed by two couples who were my fellow countrymen - hoighty toighty lot.
@BlossomFlowerGirl: Well I think that's the point, it shows the contrast between Shirley whom has a more cultured mind and willing to try new things, something that she hadn't had in her life. Then there is Jeannette and Dougie, Costigan is one of our well known actors and usually plays a lot of bad guys here, he is playing someone being uncultured and more into Bendidorm and that kind of things -only interested in beaches and bars and clubs. Yes its a shame when you see your own people of holiday that are not nice and it kind of lets the side down so to speak.
Been to Cape Verde at 5 star Hotel with my husband- he loved free drinks, luxury apartment, the beach n sea and music n people- and we had every single night 10 varieties of seafood and salads and pastries and grilled lamb and chicken and 100 varieties of fresh veg at anytime of the day plus desserts n citruses -all brought to you up to your nose - whether you are on the beach or at the pool or in bed- so I asked my English hubby how does he enjoy it all? He says, it’s great, but you know… the food! No one knows here anything about a proper Sunday roast and proper Bisto! That’s for sure!
It's not about what they're eating, It's the arrogance and stupidity that they pass off as being superior. The "Zorba" comment is derogatory. The waiters comment about the boat called Noah is retaliation to the other diners earlier comments that everything was so old in Greece that the boats were older than the ark. The only reason this lot had gone to Greece was that it was cheap and sunny but complained about anything none British.
It doesn't portray Greek people accurately either, very lazy stereotypes with terrible accents. They could have picked any number of really good Greek actors but I guess it was different times
@Drom Assault Only calamari a la romana look like onion rings i.e. squid rings fried in batter. Come to think of it anything cut into rings, battered and fried looks like onion rings. I hope you are both just joking. Otherwise you are just the same as the guy and the woman who fainted in this film. If that is the case, better stick to beans on toast.
you know the "head" of the squid? remember how long ang missile shaped that is? so, you cut that "head" in slices, that look like rings. those rings are breaded, just like onion rings are breaded, and then deep fried. it´s realy good if well done. badly done, it will aquire a rubery texture.
Brilliant.. one of my faves. Sadly still goes on
enjoy the food guys and open your ruddy minds !🤣

I absolutely love this film. And you have nailed it on the head.
I'm always amazed when tourists go to countries and instead of trying the local cuisine, they head into McDonald's or Burger King.
My favourite movie and love Jeannette :)

I LOVE Calamari!
I love that line
The kind of ignorant tourists to any country that would need to be avoided!!! ;)
I had that same white fruit top as a teenager in 80s😀🍍🍌🍓🍉
Dougie & Jeanette.
Just tried some and it is quite nice.

Don't English folks eat eels and pudding made of blood?
They do
Not this one but yes it is part of the menu.
I love trying different foods but I also think if others only eat what they're accustomed to, leave them to it. Everyone has their preferences.

@@wobblydogthey are ignorant
in a boat called Noah
@Tom Euro: Funny thing is Noah, is not a Greek name its Hebrew.
@@jane1975 he was being sarcastic, noah is not a Greek name
@@miltiadisorfanidis7489 I know, it’s Hebrew.
Zorba the Greek.🤣🤣
aah they dont make them like they used to.
She faints
Hate how films like this portrayals English people. If I ever behaved like this in another country I’d be ashamed of myself.
But it doesn't portray All English. Shirley proves that which is why they thank her 🙂
Shirley was great and respectful of the culture she visited and this is why she was embraced.

Is calamari a squid or octopus am confused lol.
Calamari is, in English called squid.
Yes.

Yh this kind of English ignorance and arrogance hasn’t aged sadly
They look more like onion rings than calamari lol.
