"Jamie's American Road Trip," a six-part series that Jamie Oliver says has already aired in 120 countries, may soon find a home on American television. "It may finally appear in the country whre it was shot," he told an audience at a screening of the series in New York (Nov. 15). He was also promoting a related cookbook, Jamie's America: Easy Twists on Great American Classics and More.

In the third segment of Slashfood's three-part video interview (also see posts for part 1 and part 2), Oliver explained that he did, in fact, kill the alligator he is shown carrying in one of the books photos.

"Game or fair game is different wherever you are in the world," he said. "In England it's rabbit and hares and pheasant. In Louisiana, it's alligators."
