- Title: Cook on the Wild Side 2
- Date: 27th March 1997
- Summary: Intrepid wild foodie, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, has traded in his eccentric Landrover kitchen for a more sedate form of transport - the equally eccentric Bain Marie. Half canal barge, half tugboat mainly kitchen this vessel is his home for a waterborne investigation of Britain's wild larder in springtime.
- Description:Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall continues his waterborne investigation of Britain's wild larder in springtime. This week, Hugh is heading "salt side" for a seashore forage in the Wash but first he must run the gloomy gauntlet of the depressingly flat Fenland canal system. He is cheered up somewhat by an encounter with an eccentric band of willow coppicers, for whom he cooks a nourishing nettle soup. When he finally makes it to the Wash, razor clams are on the menu (both raw and cooked) as well as the highly sought after (and highly priced) spring morels. These extravagant fungi make an unlikely accompaniment to the climatic dish of "beignets de crevettes de bois aux champignons sauvages" that's woodlouse fritters to you and me.
