Starting on CH4 at 16-00 Saturday 23rd January.
From "The River Cottage" stable,

Foraging, Scottish coast line and plenty more........

It sounds good. I hope it's better than the bbc2 series with the other marine biologist that tried to be a `20th century forager` and didn't seem to actually forage for anything!

 

[Paul_B]

I'd like to challenge Hugh F-W to do that. If you ever watch his programmes he only picks a few things and adds them to shop bought stuff. I doubt very much he hasw ever cooked something up from only foraged or hunted stuff. I just hope he joins the marine biologists in the foraging side too. Surely the Scottish coast is quite a good foraging location? I mean there must be good stocks of shellfish and fish too. Then seaweeds and various plants are found in those coastal regions. Isn't there seabuckthorn or something like that if its in season. Sorry not much of a forager really and not gone far into bushcraft yet but even with my limited knowledge I'd take a long time to starve up there. I think. I hope. If not then Ray Mears has failed with me.

Interesting. My nephew was telling me recently about someone he knew of in Mull who was asked about foraging by someone involved with River Cottage folk, who agreed to show them in return that they used his kitchen. Now it all begins to make sense... Looking forward to this, although read that they did spear fishing, lucky gits... lol

cheers,

 

[Tengu]

I found massive shellfish on the E coast of Luing.

 

[heath]

Sounds good but basically just another version of HFW's Wild Food and the Wild Gourmets programme.

 

[sprucegoose01]

"Expect spear fishing, caber tossing, mushroom picking, goose culling, lobster baiting, log rafting, fly fishing, whisky tasting, urchin eating, wild swimming, salmon smoking, mussel picking, paddle surfing, scuba diving, shark swimming, and even sword dancing in a boys own adventure holiday of a lifetime." - Can't wait!

 

[Ginger Ranger]

Have to catch that, think old sky plus may have to anyway
Thanks for the heads up

Curses! Found this thread at 16:05, so missed the first ten minutes or so. They did not seem to find as many shoreline edibles as I expected.
