There is one beautiful thing that Brits and the French have in common, and that’s the pride we take in our local dishes. Marcus was born and bred in Lancashire, where they know a thing or two about good food, and there is a particular dish that they gifted to the British canon: Lancashire hotpot. Can the French persuade Marcus there’s a local lamb dish to rival his beloved hotpot, and can Provençal lamb top what we get in the UK?

To find out, Marcus visits a local chef who shows him his signature lamb burger. Marcus makes things interesting by whipping up a classic British mint sauce to see if he can convince him that we Brits know what we’re talking about when it comes to condiments. Back at his rooftop kitchen, Marcus makes a Provençal style hotpot of his own using local French lamb chops, a vegetable stew and crispy potatoes. Show less
