Best of British Catch Up - Week 3
Monday 5th December, 2011
'Best of British' has reached then end of it's third week, so we've collected all of the episodes here for your viewing pleasure:
Since early man, humans have survived by foraging food from the land , rivers and seas of Britain. Some of these natural indigenous ingredients can be the basis of spectacular dishes of food. The Hairy Bikers take to the undergrowth in search of delicious free food.
As an island, Britain is blessed with a plentiful and diverse supply of produce from the sea. The Bikers celebrate our love of fish and shellfish and find out the history of Billingsgate Market.
There was a time when the British pub was pretty much a male-only establishment and food, at best, was a bowl of nuts and some pork scratchings. Today most British pubs depend on the income from food and some dishes have become pub classics. The bikers explore the history behind the boom in pub food and snacks and recreate mouthwatering dishes that would make any publican proud
The British weather and seasonal change has meant that through time we have had to find ingenious ways to store food for the hungry Winter months. The bikers explore how some of our tastiest treats have evolved from a need to preserve.
Whether savoury or sweet, the British love puddings. The hairy duo create some classic puds and explore the history and traditions behind our favourites. There is no point in counting calories with delicious puds but the bikers do try and burn some off when they take part in the world black pudding throwing competition in Lancashire
