MUNCHIES Guide to the North of England - Episode 4

In this episode, Ben has a peaceful time in the Lake District, Damson plum picking and mushroom foraging - until he's asked to rip the head of a pigeon.

​In this episode of The MUNCHIES Guide to the North of England, Ben escapes the urban hum and ventures into the Lake District. Along the way, he learns how to make a Cumberland sausage and picks Damson plums destined to be infused into local gin. Horny horses interrupt a quick visit to a goose farm, but a mushroom foraging excursion affords him some peace - until he's asked to rip the head off of a pigeon, that is.
