Spice Trip - Season 1 Episode 2 Cloves - Zanzibar
Stevie and Emma travel to Zanzibar to rediscover the magic of cloves. They make a mulled wine oxtail stew, and orange, clove and polenta cake, and grilled fish with hot fruit salsa. Cloves were once one of the most expensive commodities on the planet, but these days are often neglected and misunderstood. They find themselves in a cultural melting pot; the Portuguese, Omanis, British and Indians were all involved in the spice trade and each nation had its influence on the architecture and food in Zanzibar. Exploring the alleyways of the old colonial capital, Stonetown, and fishing in crystal clear waters, they discover how locals use cloves. On the island of Pemba they find plantation workers who harvest their crop forty feet in the air in the company of fierce biting ants.
