OK. Then we're going to look around. 511 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,480 To be qualified to forage, you'll need one of these. 512 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760 OK.If you haven't got a basket, don't look like a forager, do you? 513 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,920 What things are we going to be - foraging? - Basically green stuff, Romesh. 514 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,280 Right up your street, as a vegan. 515 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,120 I know what you're saying, mate. - Green stuff. - Yeah, yeah. 516 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,840 - The good stuff. - Yeah, yeah. What if there WAS a dead pig? 517 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,680 If there was a dead pig... Does that count as foraging? 518 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,880 It all depends on what type of forager you are, really. 519 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,600 I know people who like a bit of roadkill. 520 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040 What if I of walked into a farmer's field and foraged a sheep 521 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,800 and just took it? That's called rustling, 522 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,360 which is a criminal offence, so... Is it? OK. OK. 523 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,480 It might be quite good - for the cameras. - Yeah. 524 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,080 I don't know what we're going to find. 525 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,040 That's the beauty of foraging. We could find gold. 526 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080 I don't think that... Cos you might stumble across it, 527 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,440 as well as food. 528 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960 Ideally I'd quite like to find... I'm a little bit hungover, 529 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,400 so I'd quite like to find a Lucozade and a Snickers. 530 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,360 Which might actually be more realistic than gold, 531 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,440 aince Dan's first foraging destination appeared to be the car park. 532 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,760 Oh, my god. Go on, boys, get in there. 533 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320 Hang on, now this really feels like where my dog would piss. 534 00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:16,680 I knew that we were going to be foraging, but this is less glamorous than I thought. 535 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,640 The dog piss thing is a real thing. 536 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,200 It's called the dog piss - rule of foraging. - Oh, bollocks. 537 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,480 A dog might have pissed on it. 538 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,160 A dog might have pissed on it. What would you use that in, then? 539 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,800 So I would probably use that maybe in a salsa verde... 540 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,040 Something quite tangy. Something with a bit of zing 541 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,440 because it... You want it to be - nice. - Yeah, absolutely. 542 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,560 It's not like...

What I would suggest that we do, 563 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,360 cos it's a bit sandy and a bit tired and a bit old, 564 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,240 I reckon we should go out there and we should get the good stuff. 565 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,920 We have to go in the water and get it? 566 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,520 Yeah, we need to go in the water to get it. 567 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,240 That's easier than just rinsing that off? 568 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,000 It's much easier.
