Watch Wild Gourmets online: Episode 2 East Anglia

Tommi & Guy venture to the rich pastures of East Anglia, "the breadbasket of England". With woodland packed with game and rivers full of fish, it is an essential stop for any food-lover. The most delicious food on offer is pheasant which, with a licensed shotgun and the landowner’s permission, forms an excellent meal. Guy improvises a 'game rail' on which to hang his catch to keep them fresh. Meanwhile, Tommi visits some 19th century walled gardens to find an assortment of riches that include unusual food such as bananas and chillies. Eventually, the pheasant is used to stuff chargrilled peppers along with coriander, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper, and a cale and squash mash. They also venture to the rivers in an attempt to catch some pike, an aggressive fish that is nevertheless a delicacy in France. Tommi catches two, much to her delight, to Guy’s solitary catch ("Beginner’s luck or not, you have won!") and, after bartering a pheasant for a bag of potatoes, Tommi makes an 18th century recipe of baked pike in white sauce, flavoured with thyme and the pike’s liver.
