Fyfe Robertson looks at the way British eating habits have changed in the last generation, due to modern methods of food technology and production and the influence of food from around the world.
Fyfe’s food Odyssey sees him trying gourmet French cusine at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay, visiting an organic farm in Suffolk, an old-fashioned grocers in Ennis, County Clare, Harry Ramsden’s fish and chip restaurant in Guisley and a food factory at Alveston – where restaurant quality meals are made on an industrial scale.
Finally, Robbie visits the Arkady Mills near Manchester, to witness something that could potentially revolutionise the way we eat and farm in the future – soya beans are being processed to create imitation meat. Fyfe samples a Scotch Egg that is entirely meat free.
