Welsh for a week eating challenge

By Hywel Griffith BBC Wales' health correspondent

Day One: No bananas

Day Two: The spice of life

Last night was the first real challenge of my culinary skills - no easy pizza from the freezer, no quick cook pasta - only food made in Wales.

I went for the rather obvious choice of lamb - probably Wales' best known food. The meal was a qualified success, with lamb kebabs, salad and new potatoes.

I started to feel pretty pleased that all my ingredients were Welsh - all sourced from Powys, Pembrokeshire and Pencoed.

But there was something missing¿ it needed a little extra kick - some herbs or spices, maybe some chilli or garlic.

I had all of these things in the house - but none of them were Welsh. Being a fan of Indian, Thai and Chinese food - my palate is used to being stretched a little further than plain meat and veg. But I think I have an answer...

Today I'm going to go into the forests with Yun Hider, a professional forager from Pembrokeshire.

Yun has 10 years experience in sourcing natural food ingredients from the countryside, some of which he supplies to restaurants.

He's agreed to show me around a woodland where he says we may find Hairy Bittercress, Wood Sorrell and Hogweed. I have no idea what any of these things will taste like - but I reckon they may stretch my palate a little further than normal.

I'll let you know how we get on tomorrow...
