description: 'Who are these people? Look at what they eat.' Simon Majumdar travels the country to find out what British food - from Arbroath Smokies to Welsh rarebit to chicken tikka masala - reveals about British identity. Exploring the history of British food he celebrates the wealth of fare on offer today and meets the people all over the country - the farmers the fishermen the brewers bakers and cheese makers - who have given the British reason to love their food again. Join Simon as he becomes a judge at the Great British Pie Competition (where to his sorrow he ends up judging vegetarian pies) as he learns to make Balti with a true Brummie hunts for grouse and sees seaside rock being made in Blackpool. EATING FOR BRITAIN is an impassioned and hilarious journey into the meaning of eating British.
