1. Australia: Ray travels to the other side of the planet to hear from Australian Aboriginals about what food means to a hunter-gatherer and the role it plays in their culture as well as their society. Along with many other discoveries, the trip sees Ray sample that most iconic of ‘bush tucker’: the witchetty grub, a huge maggot that lives in the roots of the witchetty bush.
