River Cottage Road Trip is yet another TV cooking show hosted by a strange Englishman. Each week Hugh adventures through a gorgeous part of Britain, discovering what culinary treats it has to offer.
Like any good Brit he likes to kill his food before he eats it, and thus much fishing and hunting ensues. In this episode they perform a not very serious hunt for the mythical haggis beast, which mostly involves several drunken Scotsmen running around the moors in tartan kilts yelling and carrying on while waving weapons in the air. They eventually catch the poor wee beastie (a sack of haggis with feathers stuck into it and eyes drawn on) and devour it, but not before soaking it with a good deal more scotch.
There is also some whimsical harvesting in the forest as Hugh collects wild mushrooms, berries and herbs. The mushroom search was performed running, to make it go faster. This technique must be very successful indeed because they happen upon an unbelievable find; an enormous cauliflower fungus the size of Hugh’s head. All this is carried out in some stunning country side, complete with rolling green hills and moody, overcast skies.
Hugh then prepares his catch for the locals at an annual fishing festival. The fish looks superb steamed in wet newspaper and garnished with juniper berries and wild thorril leaves.
It looks like a good bit of fun and leaves me pining for the simplicity of the old country. Sigh.
