Masterchef winner Gary Maclean joins Neil Forbes at the City of Glasgow College to celebrate the inexpensive and versatility of all things porky. Gary cooks up a delicious chorizo and white bean stew with slow cooked and pan fried pork belly and Neil creates the ultimate club sandwich layering crispy dry cured bacon, chicken, mayonnaise, grain mustard and tomato sandwiched between 2 slices of pan fried sourdough. Also, food innovator Simon Preston visits Fred Berkmiller at Edinburgh's Gorgie City Farm to find out about his recent delivery of rare breed Mangalitza pigs which looking at them can be mistaken for sheep.
