Eating for Britain

'Who are these people? Look at what they eat.' Simon Majumdar travels the country to find out what British food — from Arbroath Smokies to Welsh rarebit to chicken tikka masala — reveals about British identity. Exploring the history of British food, he celebrates the wealth of fare on offer today, and meets the people all over the country — the farmers, the fishermen, the brewers, bakers and cheese makers — who have given the British reason to love their food again. Join Simon as he becomes a judge at the Great British Pie Competition (where, to his sorrow, he ends up judging vegetarian pies), as he learns to make Balti with a true Brummie, hunts for grouse, and sees seaside rock being made in Blackpool. EATING FOR BRITAIN is an impassioned and hilarious journey into the meaning of eating British.
