My Polish Grandmother, a WW2 Prisoner of War who came to America and spoke English but certainly not perfectly, used to watch him every day, every episode, she loved him, thought he was the best. I grew up watching him. He used to love doing "Jullllllieeene.... Jullineeeenee" while chopping lol.
for the melon bowl soup i hardly believe the meat has any flavor in it. He never marinaded them or done anything for flavoring other than putting them in stock.
