Fergus Henderson presents Could you Eat an Elephan

[nickloman]

I didn't think Fergus Henderson (of St. John fame) was into the whole celeb-chef thing, but he's presenting a programme which looks to be about extreme eating this Wednesday on C4, co-presented with Jeremy Lee.

Some more details here:

I think my dad will find this programme amusing. I'm sure it will bring back memories of his childhood in rural Zambia. I know he has eaten elephant (specifically the heart) and more than a little bit of bushmeat in his lifetime.

My brother ate bushmeat when he travelled to our village a few years ago. I was spared the exotic proteins, but I was constantly worried about foodborne illness.

I tried to find a way to see the show on internet but it appears only people living in UK or Ireland can see it...
