Series Summary
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall will go anywhere and eat anything. A discontented urban foodie, he has decided to escape from the suffocating convenience of supermarkets, sell-by dates and cellophane and take to the road to explore the vast and underused resource of Britain's wild larder.
Behind the wheel of the gastrowagon, he roams the countryside in search of ingredients for an impromptu roadside feast. In each episode Hugh contends with different terrains, different ingredients and unusual and sometimes life-endangering methods of procuring them. Besides his battered pots and pans, the gastrowagon contains his shrimping nets, fishing rods, climbing ropes, lobster pots and a pile of other strange devices to aid him in his hunting and gathering.
