While staying at a boarding house he was fed meals by a woman who he claims was a ‘terrible cook’ and every meal she served was ‘outrageous’.

In an interview he said: “I wrote home to my parents, saying ‘I had steak and potatoes yesterday, and it was like I’d never had them in my life. My parents were really good cooks, and we ate really well, but I’d never had anything like the food there. I knew exactly then what I wanted to do.”
