Wild Mushrooms on Pumpkin Seed Sourdough

Welcome to the first ever episode of The Wild Lunch Podcast!

 This fun and fact-filled episode was recorded in mid-October 2024 when Fred and Nico explored some beautiful ancient woodlands near Rye looking for a bounty of top quality wild Mushrooms to serve fried simply with oil and seasoned with Fred’s own fermented mushroom seasoning (what Fred calls, his Umami Bomb) on a batch of his delicious home-made pumpkin seed rye sourdough.

Hunting in the forest for mushrooms with Fred is exciting enough for Nico because he knows he is in guaranteed a Chef-level Wild Lunch at the end. But what makes it extra special is Fred’s incredible knowledge about mushrooms of all kinds (yes even those ones) from the biology to the folklore surrounding them. Nico finds it all so fascinating he almost forgets to drop a few of his legendary dad-jokes. Almost.

 If you are looking to elevate a plate of mushrooms on toast, to the level of comforting, and educational entertainment, Fred and Nico are the guys for you. Happy listening.

See What Fred and Nico Found!

HELP US GROW THE WILD LUNCH

 We are looking for partners and sponsors to help fund the production of another five fabulous (already recorded) episodes of The Wild Lunch, to complete the first series. 

So far, we have produced everything ourselves because we believe this format can be very successful. We're also planning to introduce hosted walks followed by amazing wild lunch banquets for our fans and listeners to come along to!

So, if you are a brand or business associated with food or the outdoors, or you simply love the show as much as we do, please get in touch. Our big promotional push, fuelled by Fred’s 24,000+ Instagram followers, start’s here!

 We’re only looking for a small investment for this launch phase, but as someone much richer than us once said, every little helps.
