Episode 2
Tha na seòid aig Cruinneachadh Gàidhealach Dhiùranais, a’ còcaireachd dhan cheann-chinnidh. The lads visit the Highland Gathering in Durness to cook for the games Chieftain.
Tha fios gu bheil na seòid math air còcaireachd, ach tha iad a-mach às an àbhaist an-diugh, ag ullachadh bìdh do cheann-cinnidh a’ Chruinneachadh Ghàidhealaich ann an Diùranais, sgìre àlainn ann an ceann a tuath na h-Alba. Leis a’ chidsin aca a-muigh air làrach nan geamannan, tha iad a’ còcaireachd ann an teas an t-samhraidh, le na geamannan a’ gabhail àite mu thimcheall orra. Tha Roddy a’ dèanamh “Ugh Gàidhealach” sònraichte agus cèic theòclaid – le taic bho Ùisdean an-dràsta ’s a-rithist – mus dèan e fhèin bradan air a phoidseadh le muasgain-caola; a tha a’ còrdadh ris a’ cheann-cinnidh le balgam math uisge-beatha.
The lads are keen domestic cooks, but today they are well away from their comfort zone travelling to visit the Highland Gathering in scenic Durness on the north coast of Scotland, where they cook for the games Chieftain. Setting up their mobile kitchen outside at the games site, they proceed to cook in the sweltering heat, surrounded by the ongoing games. Roddy makes a special “Highland Egg” and a chocolate cake dessert while Uisdean helps, before he prepares a spectacular poached salmon with langoustines which is presented to the Chieftain, accompanied by a dram of fine whisky.
