| Summary |
Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal is back with a brand new series where he explores the stories behind Britain's favourite dishes. Britain is home to some of the most iconic dishes in the world. From fish and chips to spotted dick, pie and mash to roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, these are the meals that have kept stomachs full and satisfied for centuries.In Heston's Great British Food, the boundary pushing chef goes looking for answers to: Why did roast beef become Britain's national dish? How were fish and chips used to keep moral up during the war? And what (or who) was the most unusual filling served up in a pie? On his travels around the country Heston discovers why these dishes are so deeply rooted in British culture. Unlocking their secret histories, he uses what he learns to help inspire an epic culinary salute to each one... but all with a Heston twist of course.Heston takes on the classic British pudding, making one that looks like a hot dog, another involving a cow's udder, a Victorian sponge, and some custard with nice lumps for a change, which he serves it to a specially invited group of teachers and dinner ladies.
