BBC Two - Hairy Bikers' Best of British, Series 2, Islands

The Bikers explore the culinary traditions of the different islands of the British Isles.

The Bikers explore the culinary traditions of the British Isles. Dishes include tempura scallops from the Isle of Man and cranachan with Islay whisky.

The Bikers continue their culinary journey through time as they celebrate British food. 

They remind us that we are not really an island nation but rather a nation of islands - over 5,000 make up the British Isles, and many of these have fascinating culinary histories. The Bikers make a delicious tempura dish from the queenie scallops caught off the Isle of Man and a rich cranachan with Islay whisky, before travelling to the Isle of Wight to enjoy a Michelin-starred chef's taste of the island and revealing the little-known Jersey delicacy - the ormer.
