BBC - The Spice Trail (2011)



Information
The Spice Trail
Kate Humble goes on the trail of some of the world's most valuable spices revealing their history,
trade, mythology and usage

Part 1: Pepper and Cinnamon
Kate Humble travels on India's 'Spice Coast' where she uncovers the story of pepper, once known as
black gold and now the most consumed spice in the world. She does the pepper dance to shake the
berries from their stalk, meets farmers fighting back against a disease that is devastating pepper
crops, and is taught the century’s old secret language still used by the traders who wheel and deal
in the spice. From India, Kate heads south to Sri Lanka, to the land of cinnamon - a place shrouded
in mystery to Europeans until the Portuguese accidentally landed on its shores. She attends the
spectacular Buddhist festival, or Perahara, which celebrates local resistance to the invaders. Kate
also takes part in the delicate process of harvesting the spice and making a cinnamon quill, and
witnesses the crucial make-or-break negotiations of local farmers trying to sell their crops.

The others have yet to be posted here. But the whole thing has aired and been released by other
groups. Just wait and it will show up here.

Kate also had a series about the frankincense route/trail. It's also pretty good.
The series was posted here a few months ago.

Due to the seedbox owners complaining about double Xvid/720p HD releases from MVGroup the 720p HD
might not appear at eztv. We're posting the smaller and lower quality PDTV Xvid to eztv as these
files won't melt the seedboxes. If you want the HD then get the torrents from MVGroup.
