john b 38 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Apparently this is scheduled for BBC Three quite soon. Might make interesting viewing Road Kill Café Pioneering forager and road-kill chef Fergus Drennan wants to change Britain's eating habits and wake people up to the bland rubbish he believes they shovel into their mouths. Fergus goes to the sleepy Kent town of Sandwich to persuade locals to go foraging for the first time and discover the delights of road kill. At the end of a three-week stay, he plans to hold a feast of wild food and wild meat, sourcing his ingredients from the wild, of course, from beaches and forest undergrowths to the gutters of the roadside. Fergus may seem extreme but, to him, a road-kill badger burger or a wild squirrel stew is healthier and more authentic than a battery chicken that has never seen the light of day. Why eat frozen peas, he argues, when you can have fresh seaweed instead? But will he find anywhere to serve his food to the public? Will anyone want to sample it, and can Fergus really alter the way people think about what they eat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JOEB Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Spent a lot of time in Sandwhich...........one of the most unspoilt places around......... They have a lot of very good resturants, should be a good programme.......... J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yokel Matt 918 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sounds like its going to be a good series. Changing the name of the cafe and getting pretty damn creative with how they phrase the dishes on the menue may help sell it to the punters and general public a bit more! 'Fly blown badger' doesn't really conjour up a gastronomic delight. :sick: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john b 38 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 You're right BB - I think that they changed the name from the original press release. The note from the Beeb seems to suggest it is going to be a series: Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Roadkill Chef'. I can inform you that the series will begin on the 16 January on BBC THREE at 9.00pm. You can read more about this series and other forthcoming BBC programmes by following the link below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressrele...ctual_ent.shtml I hope this information has been of some help, and thank you again for taking time to contact the BBC.

Started to watch this programme tonight Feargus whatshisname was in Sandwich Kent ,he picked up a squirrel and a mallard,from the roadside ,and said as a guide he goes by the freshness of the eyes ,then he said I think these might have been taken out by a Raven,a RAVEN in Kent ,end of credibility,turned over.
