Jamaica

After arriving in Jamaica and mixing with the locals at an outdoor market, Pete heads into the countryside to find that wonderful, starchy breadfruit. Roasted or fried, Pete thinks he's Captain Bligh, reborn!

Hungary
Pete travels to Szged, the Paprika Capital of Hungary, and checks out a field of gloriously red sweet peppers, before lending a hand to a master chef as he prepares some traditional Hungarian Goulash on an open fire. Pass the paprika please!

Italy
Still stuffed from the traditional Italian feast served the night before, Pete takes Toby the truffle hound into the woods to sniff out some truffles, one of the world's most renowned delicacies, and one of Italy's prized exports (if there's any left!)

Spain
Pete's got a pocketful of pesatas and he's looking for a score. It's the high-octane, top-of-the-line stuff he wants, and he's come to Spain to find it. Saffron, the world's most expensive spice! But first Pete checks out the annual Saffron festival where he cooks in the worlds largest frying pan.

Greece
The Agora market is hopping with people and piled high with produce when Pete travels to Greece. Before long, he's hiking into the olive groves to help harvest one of the oldest cultivated fruits, then off to a mill where we learn how olive oil is processed. It all sounds "greek" to Pete!

California
After arriving in Los Angeles and rollerblading down the boardwalk in Venice Beach, Pete heads North to California orange country where he helps some pickers and visits an experimental citrus farm.

Mexico
Pete is south-of-the border bound, and just itching to get his hands on some papaya. He begins his search in the bustling port town of Veracruz and takes a side trip to the ruins at Zempoala before discovering a plantation chock full of this sweet velvety fruit.

Costa Rica
After a visit to a sugar mill, and an opportunity to help out in preparation of some Costa Rican dishes (it was nearly crocodile sandwiches!), Pete takes us to a banana plantation where he learns some fascinating facts that most don't know about this familiar fruit.

England
When Pete heads back to his early stomping grounds in Nottingham, England, he gets his chance to have a pint with old friends, visit his favorite fish n' chip shop and find out the side effects of mushy peas.

Australia
Pete finds himself on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, where he gets the chance to see how many different fruits are grown and harvested, including the indigenous macadamia nut. Pete cracks it open in the land down under!

New Zealand
New Zealanders are known as 'Kiwis' the world over, and with good reason. Pete heads into the groves to help with the harvest, but not before he feasts on roasted lamb where he proves that he's definately not a vegetarian!
