Come Dine With Me, Caveman Style!

I caught the following programme on Brit TV yesterday (although it was originally aired back in September:

Come Dine with Me

Series 13 | Episode 12 | East London - Ryan

Saturday 15 January
Channel 4

In East London, City-boy and fitness fanatic Ryan Waters is determined to win over his fellow contestants with a 'cave-man diet'. Will Ryan's prehistoric menu prove a hit with his guests?

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/...s-13/episode-12

Ryan tried to explain to his guests the food we would probably have eaten in the stone age, i.e., no grains, no processed food. Unfortunately, he didn’t, IMO, explain it particularly well. However, they could well have been due to the programme edits rather than what seemed to be his lack of knowledge.

There was an American woman taking part who did comment that it was just like the Atkins diet, no carbs!

Ryan's menu was as follows:

Starter: Spiced cauliflower & celery soup
Main course: Honey chicken with sautéed broccoli and Stone Age salad, (spinach, peppers, apple, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, raisins, coconut milk)
Dessert: Peach & date pudding (peaches, dates, sprinkled with almonds)

Here are the links to the recipes for his starter and main course:
http://www.channel4.com/4food/recip...ery-soup-recipe

He came joint second with a score of 27 out of a possible 40, so I think his fellow guests quite enjoyed his evening. Interestingly, the winner only managed to score a point higher at 28.

Unfortunately, the show is not currently available on Channel 4’s 4oD to watch again, but I have provided a link where it should hopefully be available shortly.

For those of you not familar with this programme, you can find out more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Dine_With_Me

For American viewers, the equivalent programme is Dinner Takes All on TLC, and for Canadian viewers, it's Come Dine With Me Canada on the W network.

I've seen this show before, probably on BBC America. I have not seen this episode, unfortunately. THere is a show that I have seen advertised on the NatGeo, I think, where this guy is actually hunting and gathering his food...what a concept.
