Ray Mears' Wild Food - Season 1

Ray Mears explores the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age. He travels to Australia to see how food gathering means so much more than just diet to the Australian Aborigine.

Ray Mears explores the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age. Looking for the foods of our forefathers he starts with the resources found near the coast.

Wetlands were the highways of Stone Age Britain and a habitat rich in wild foods. Ray processes water lily seeds, tries spear fishing from a canoe and tastes plant matter from a pollen core thousands of years old.

Hunter gatherers rely on meat more than any other food, and their lifestyle revolves around the hunt. Ray shows how many meals a single deer can provide, finds seeds that can be made into biscuits for trail snacks, and samples the flavours our ancestors may well have added in their search for new tastes.

Ray Mears explores the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age. Examining the woodland's offerings, he visits the site in Scotland of one of the biggest finds of Stone Age foods.
