Countryfile Season 31 Episode 12 - Food Compilation

Airdate: 2019-Mar-24

Episode summary:

Across the country, farmers are working hard to provide us with the bulk of our food – from chicken and beef to peas and potatoes. But there are many individuals producing the more unusual foods we like to indulge in from time to time. Sean is in Oxfordshire meeting those with a passion for our more unusual produce, from picklers to cheesemakers. He’ll be on the hunt for the perfect ingredients to make that most traditional of British meals - a hearty ploughman’s, with a twist. We’ll also be looking back through the archive to some of the foodies championing the more extraordinary edibles – from the time John met the kelp grower in Northern Ireland to when Anita helped harvest peppermint; from Matt, pulping pears for Perry, to Adam harvesting a spice worth its weight in gold.
