On a bushwalk with a park ranger, Matthew samples some native produce which gets his mind thinking of what else is growing wild closer to home – on his farm and around Hobart. He goes mushrooming with Tom Samek and with wild food expert Anita Wild he finds wild greens growing literally at the front gate. But Matthew’s a protein man and after several failed attempts at catching fish, he sets out with Plinio Taurian, who claims to be able to catch trout by the minute in a river just outside the city of Hobart.
