all right like we did it yesterday let's take a look out this window here.
and see what's going on this is our entertainment during lockdown our
neighbors so it looks like this guy's washing their boxing hands and then his
neighbors they're just brushing his teeth and washing his hands yeah these
two dogs right here looking up at us holy kittens on this roof and then
there's something going on way down there on the field there's actually a
lot of people together
Lindsay doesn't know that all right guys this morning I have coffee all regular
cheap coffee and Lindsay just made some tea it's what it what's in this tea Koga
moaning yah yah nice and then the rest of our meal is cooking right now or
Lindsay's cooking it but I just chopped up a mango
alright guys today we're making chicha Morada which is a purple corn based
drink that originated in peru package you can usually find these in your
international aisle so they say that you are supposed to put the ingredients in
and then boil it for about 30 minutes together maybe 45 minutes so we're gonna
put the purple corn in and then we chop up these granny smith apples and we put
them in there for flavor as well and then we have limes for flavor and a lot
of people put pineapple but we did not buy one so we have a mango so we can add
this at the very end for flavor yes and some recipes include alcohol so you can
have a alcoholic chicha Morada as well there are kind of different versions of
this there's kind of a traditional version and then there's the alcoholic
version and then also more like it looks like I say Korea like where you can put
a lot more fruits in there and make it sweet so we're gonna make kind of our
own fusion of traditional and what we have in the kitchen right now
and then you're supposed to put cinnamon sticks in here and clove for the spices
in the flavor so this is close chicha Morada is extremely popular and
so when we went to the market we found a cinnamon and cloves in the
same packet ready to go because I guess a lot of people will be buying it like
that
the consumption of chicha Morada in Peru it's about the same as coca-cola oh it's
already starting to turn color oh yeah you can see it's turning purple the
color in there and that's what we've been boiling for about ten minutes and
it's already smelling up the entire apartment and turning the water suppose
if we like this we'll be making this again and we'll be doing it right with a
pineapple
this is so delicious it tastes like an apple cider you're gonna love it all
right guys chicha Morada alright so it's much later
in the day now it's about two o'clock and Lindsey is getting obsessed with
chicha Morada I think she's cooked about three pots of
it and this was the first time we ever tried it his teacher pirata good for you
should she be drinking this much so the US has been sending planes to come get
tourists like us and bring them back home but we've been avoiding it for a
few weeks now and there are a few flights left but not many but I just
thought I would check because I just got an email from the Embassy in Peru
they've been sending us emails every couple days with potential flights and I
just wanted to see how much these would actually cost us and so one thing to
note is that they only go from Lima to Miami Miami is on the other side of the
u.s. from California where I'm from and Lima is on the other side of Peru from
Cusco where we are right now so we would have to take a 30 hour bus somehow if we
were allowed to get to Lima and then take a flight to Miami and then take a
flight from Miami to get to California so let's see how much it would cost just
for one leg of that okay so this shows their Eastern Airlines flights on April
18 20th and 21st so that's within the next few days so to purchase tickets
click on this link go eastern air so there you have it we were just going off
of word of mouth before when people were saying things were close to two thousand
three thousand dollars but now I'm actually seeing it with my own eyes if
we wanted to do this we could but it would cost that much and then we would
have to take a flight home from there as well and who knows the quarantine
process and all of that looks like it's not happening hey guys so in the last
video tried tuna fruit which is really big in
Peru so we decided that we want to try a couple other Peruvian or South American
fruits for you guys so look at what we have here you guys keep telling us that
we should try Chile Moya which is this one which Lyndsey has never had before
we have some plums and we don't know what these are called and then we have
grandma diya one-inch banana the other color of tuna fruit yesterday
we had like a reddish one and I think they actually taste slightly different
from what we heard and some granny smith apples I want to try the cherimoya
because everyone's been talking about this true and I'm really curious about
it they say it's really good so let's dig in so this is cherimoya also known
as custard apple and when I was in Southeast Asia I had it there and it was
called sweet apple there or candy apple but it actually originates in the Andes
Mountains so right around here let's give it a try and scoop a little out
they say you can just use a spoon to scoop it well
the texture and the flavor a little bit and it looks like it too
well nothing has a fleshy inside with these big black seeds
yeah very sweet and it's kind of soft inside well I think it's called candy
apple for a reason it kind of tastes similar to an apple the texture is just
a little bit different it's a little softer yeah and more moist and actually
I read that parts of this fruit are toxic or at least if you have a lot of
it it can be toxic they can't eat too much of it so be careful they're pretty
good we like it so it's toxic but also there are a ton of health benefits this
is actually a really healthy fruit all right this is a fruit we've been having
a lot of now and we never had it before it's a grand idea and it's basically the
brother to a passion fruit so passion fruit is kind of sour kind of bitter
also sweet it's very potent but this one it's not very potent at all it's just
these seeds are kind of sweet but and you can honey downloads yeah so
they sell these everywhere here so it's kind of like a jelly like substance
juicy jelly because Ling these are some of the most beautiful fruits I've ever
seen
so we made a video in Colombia when we were there about a month and a half ago
where we try I think it was 13 exotic fruits from South America they're very
interesting some of them we will never have again so I'm gonna link to that
video here and you should definitely take a look at that because it's pretty
interesting and it's on my other channel so you won't find it on this one all
right this next one is my month though I'm probably pronouncing it a little bit
off but why month oh we've been wanting to try this because it's so odd looking
it's like it's encapsulated in a leaf once you get on the inside it looks like
a little cherry tomato it's kind it's odd it it resembles a tomato in a way
mm-hmm but it's sweet like like a fruit like oh my god it's like a citrusy
almost like an orange it's to me it's like a mix of the an orange and a tomato
in our last video we tried to nuff root for you guys but it was a different
color and so this one supposed to have a different flavor so we're gonna check
this one out I'm gonna make Alex cut this one this time because last time he
made me do it but we got a lot of comments from you guys saying that you
have to be very careful with it because there are little thorns or whatever you
would call them little spikes in here that you can't really see and they can
get in your hands and very hard to get out it sounds pretty painful yeah
luckily I didn't have that last time and alex is gonna give it a try cutting it
see if you can do as good of a job as I did hurry up all right there you go all
right let's sit down beat it then the last tuna fruit that we had resembled a
melon in flavor in watermelon texture so it looks like the same texture obviously
but the flavor hopefully is a little different and each fruit contains like a
thousand seeds all these little seeds which I guess you're supposed to eat it
is a little different I think this one resembles more of a nice how do you do
honey Jim it kind of reminds me in a way of cucumber
cucumber tasting you're right it does I think if you put this in a blender and
made a smoothie it would be really good super refreshing
that's our fruit tour from home yeah all right guys it's that time of the video
again we're gonna do Q&A so the first one is from Jody Davis she says hey guys
loving the new place so my question is what's the one thing you miss most from
back home so obviously we've both miss our families but besides the obvious
thing I am really missing certain foods from back home the number one food that
I'm missing is Chinese food I love cream cheese wontons and sweet-and-sour
chicken so it's hard not to miss the variety of food back home back in the US
so when you go to grocery stores there's a wide variety and then when it comes to
restaurants we have just a diverse food culture and so like Lindsay says she
misses Chinese food even though it's the US and for me it's pretty much Mexican
food I eat Mexican food all the time in California I really missed that I missed
chip away which is kind of like a fast food chain of Mexican food Mexican food
and if you're from the US you probably know what I'm talking about so I think
food wait miss food food all right the next question is from Pilar Aguilar love
your dog how you love them he is happy and cocky good question what Spanish
words have you learned well one really important word and
phrase that we learned as soon as we got to South America was to learn how to ask
for the bill because unlike the u.s. they don't just bring you the bill and
they see you're done eating they do not give you the bill you have to ask for it
even when you ask for it can take a really long time yeah you can sit there
for hours they will never bring it to you ever but I think it's kind of nice
in a sense that you don't feel rushed and people take longer eating their
meals and enjoying the company whereas in the u.s. everything's kind of more
rushed and fast paced but anyway so we learned that the bill is called la
cuenta so when we're ready to go we say yeah la cuenta por favor so we've just
gotten better at a lot of the basics that we already knew from school you
just learn a little bit of Spanish when you
grow up in the US for the most part but one thing we're planning on doing very
soon we've been putting it off but we're gonna learn more Spanish we're gonna
take lessons with each other kind of teach each other and then also we want
to learn some Quechua because you guys keep saying we should so want to tell us
some phrases or words we really should know and guess what and we'll learn them
for you the next question we have is from Glade Cornelius quarantine and
lockdown sucks especially if it doesn't go as planned but if you were to get
locked down which country other than the US would you prefer to be in so we
thought this is a really good question it's something we hadn't really thought
about but since we've been in lockdown in Cusco I think this is the city I
would pick it's really been good does and it has pretty much everything we
would need it has a lot to offer the weather the weather has been great the
food is good it's just this great middle ground of everything and I thought about
any of the other countries that I've been before if I would be locked down
there and I think this is probably the one I would choose
so we've been pretty lucky yeah so that's the end of our Q&A again thank
you to all the patrons and the donations that have come in this week and you guys
are so awesome for doing that and we will be sending you things very soon and
