Today is the first of our 4-part mini-series on British food, and we're going to talk about something you might not expect to appear in a series on British food: the oyster.

In today's episode we cover:

• Introduction to the mini-series on British food • Oysters in Roman times (and how Romans were crazy about oysters) • Oysters as a poor man's food • How people used to eat oysters (with beer, salt and pepper, and in pies) • A time when Londoners used to eat 1 oyster per day • The meal (and scandal) that destroyed the oyster industry • The future of oysters in Britain
