My Ireland with Colin

TODAY, 7.30PM, SEVEN/GWN7

There’s more to Irish food than Guinness and potatoes as we discover under the guidance of Colin Fassnidge, who is let loose in his homeland on a Ducati motorbike for this two-part family reunion, history lesson and foodie adventure that continues tomorrow. The tough MKR judge shows his humorous and sentimental side as he visits his old school, his dad’s shoe shop, a snail farmer hoping to turn Irish tastes to escargots and throws a whole pig on to roast for a family dinner. There are plenty of colourful characters to meet along the way, including a family of cider makers, the butcher whose rare-breed pigs roam their own island and a champion oyster shucker.
