A Taste of Britain: West Dorset

Series 1, episode 8

Food programme exploring specialities from around Britain. Brian Turner and Janet Street-Porter find themselves on the Jurassic Coast of West Dorset. Brian cooks up a lobster with garlic butter on the quayside with a few whelks just for Janet. It is just the food for a fossil hunt on the World Heritage Site beach with top geologist Paddy Howe. Chef Taher Jibet brings a little of his Mediterranean heritage to bear with his sea bream ceviche with locally grown wasabi. A visit to the UK's oldest family business, RJ Balson, is an excuse to try the 400-year-old butcher's world-famous faggots. Brian visits Longlands Farm, home to a herd of Dorset's own longhorn cattle, before Janet takes Brian on a tour of Portland Castle, the location for the celebration cook - ribeye of longhorn beef with duck fat potato wedges.
