West Dorset

Episode 8 of 20

Food programme exploring specialities from around Britain. Brian Turner and Janet Street-Porter find themselves on the Jurassic Coast of west Dorset.

Brian Turner and Janet Street-Porter find themselves on the Jurassic Coast of west Dorset. Brian cooks up a fabulous lobster with garlic butter on the quayside with a few whelks - just for Janet. It's 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 him on a tour of Portland Castle, the location for the celebration cook - rib-eye of longhorn beef with duck fat potato wedges.
