- Title: Cook on the Wild Side 2
- Date: 3rd April 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 investigation of Britain's wild larder in springtime. The last leg of Hugh's aquatic odyssey takes him northwards, where the ladies of the Calder Valley, near Hebden Bridge, prove harsh (but fair?) judges of his attempt to create a local delicacy Dock Pudding. In Morecambe Bay, Hugh trawls for shrimps in the company of Raymond Edmonson, a man whose red faced joviality belies the fact that his industry is in terminal decline. Hugh's final (and controversial) fling is a daring tree climb in a Lancashire rookery. During the war, when protein was scarce, young rooks were considered a treat and Hugh is determined to see if the reputation was justified.
