Hadn't seen this thread til now. We visited the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum last week when we were in England where The Tudor Monastery Farm was filmed. It was very pretty and interesting.
It's a shame that Nigel and Adam's Farm Kitchen is on the same time as "Masterchef, the Professionals", which I want to watch too. And there's no +1 on BBC and no i-player in France.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Me too, I love his style of cooking as much as the recipes themselves. He is the new Elizabeth David for me. You can cook to his recipes without pretty pictures, which says it all.
I enjoyed the program, loved idea of veg incorporated in Yorkshire pudding, will try that one. However, I wish he looked a bit cleaner, makes me wonder about his hands.
For all her culinary disasters, my Ma used to add veg to a batter pudding, with varying degrees of success - in my experience it is important to roast the veg first to cook off a lot of the moisture, otherwise a soggy mess ensues
I'm not sure about Nigel's beard - still as long as he likes it
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
As a former keeper of sheep, I wasn't at all impressed with the sheep dipping - it all did more harm than good as far as I could see. A couple of days in the heavy rain would've sufficed. Dipping in a muddy pond was daft - the sort of 'scrubbing and rubbing' they did in the pond would've damaged the wool fibres
And if dagging is done, and it would have been done - dagging is not a new word! (regular trimming the wool around 'nether regions' throughout the year) the matting mentioned wouldn't have been a problem.
Used to really rate these programmes ....

Nigel is a half decent cook, too…..
Superb creative cook, brilliant food writer - I'm a huge fan!

Noted about roasting Dove, thanks.
