(horn honks)
- Me up Pringles.
I love Pringles.
Pop it!
(playful music)
- So we're going to be trying snacks,
which I have personally brought over from China.
They are grilled eel flavor.
- Oh my god!
Wait, no!
- You don't like eel?
- I've never tried eel.
- It's just gonna taste like regular seafood.
- It's like ew!
- It is grilled eel.
(gags)
- Oh!
- Oh, a bit salty.
- Oh yeah.
(laughs)
That makes sense now.
- Have you had grilled eel before?
- I have had really good grilled eel when I was in Japan,
I went to the food markets and got them on a skewer.
Oh, it was so good!
(moans)
- Teriyaki sauce on it?
- Yeah, it's kinda in between chicken and fish
and it was sweet, but still fishy.
- Yeah.
- It was really good.
- Oh, that's super fishy.
(snorts)
(laughs)
- No!
- Ugh!
(laughing)
- Grilled squid?
- You said that with a British accent.
Grilled squid! - Grilled squid!
I'm just really confused to be honest.
- This smells like barbecue chips.
- Oh!
This smells so good!
It smells like barbecue.
- This smells like barbecue chips.
- It smells so good!
It smells like barbecue.
Not just barbecue chips, barbecue.
(horn honks)
(laughs)
oops!
- I can tell my opinions are not valued here.
- Chili?
- Don't you reckon they smell like a sweaty man?
- Yeah!
- They smell like B.O.
- Oh!
That smells like barbecue chips.
I'm into that. - Doesn't taste like it.
- It's like very paprika.
- It's a barbecue chip.
Heavy, heavily spiced barbecue chip.
- It tastes better than it smells.
- I like this, yum.
(laughs)
- Not for me, I don't like to eat sweaty man flavored chips.
- This is better.
But that smell is worse,
but that is not a good taste at nine a.m. in the morning.
- Yes!
- No.
- I grew up eating these.
- Oh, what is this?
- Why does it get worse and worse?
- Thai style preserved plums.
- Oh!
Interesting.
- Boom, it's fruit.
- Not Chinese.
- [Woman] So they're used like throat lozenges or something.
Instead of like a Butter Menthol, people suck on that.
- It reminds me of a saggy brain.
- A saggy brain?
- Look at it.
- Why's?
- Doesn't it look like a brain?
- No, there's many other parts of the body
that I would describe this as
being a saggy thing of, but not a brain.
- It's like a little maraca.
- This is weird.
- I don't know what's happening.
I feel like I'm eating a Sherbie.
- I'm enjoying...
Oh!
- It's really hard!
Look!
- Ugh!
(laughs)
Ugh!
(laughs)
- It won't crack!
- Are you getting different reactions?
You're getting like salty, sweet, sour, all in one go.
- I don't know why my body's rejecting it.
(laughs)
- It's got a nice, soothing outer layer.
- I don't know if it's bad or good.
(laughs)
- That's just all the sickness coming out.
(angelic music)
Plum sickness, get it out, get it out.
(playful music)
- Jelly!
I love jelly!
Wait, what flavor of jelly is it?
(laughs)
- How did you get this shit back into Australia man?
- Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
- Why is it black?
- Honey, guilinggao.
- Herbal jelly.
- So this is like a Chinese version of a Aeroplane jelly.
♪ I like Aeroplane jelly ♪
- We're so off key.
♪ Aeroplane Jelly for me ♪
- You have such a big wad!
- I was just like...
- That's ambitious!
- I wanted to taste it.
- It's very flavorless.
But you get that jelly feel, but it's there.
It's got like a herbal-ness to it.
Herbal, herbal jelly.
- That tastes like echinacea.
But would I eat a whole tub of it?
That's too much.
- I feel like texture wise, great.
I would love to eat like a raspberry flavor,
or a grape flavor, or the strawberry flavor.
But the flavor for this, I feel has a long way to go.
(playful music)
(horn honks)
- Me up, Pringles.
I love Pringles.
Pop it!
- One thing I wanna say about Pringles
is that somehow, no matter what the flavor,
they get it so accurate.
Have you noticed that?
- Pop it!
- Look at the size of this Pringle.
- Isn't it like any other ordinary Pringle size?
- I don't know, I feel like Pringles have gotten smaller,
or have I just gotten bigger?
(laughs)
- Seaweed flavor.
- It doesn't smell like seaweed,
it just smells like a Pringle chip.
- Oh!
Oh!
(coughs)
- Oh!
- Spicy Seaweed!
- This is what just happened in my mouth,
the Pringle went on my tongue,
I was like oh yeah, seaweed flavor!
Surprise, wasabi!
- I love tomato flavored anything, so I'm game.
- This smells like tomato sauce.
- Oh really?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, that's strong tomato flavor.
- That's real potent.
- There's like no flavoring.
- They don't really smell like tomato,
but it's got like a tinge,
as if somebody's kinda cut a tomato and wiped it.
- Yeah.
- Mm!
- Oh wow, it actually tastes a lot like tomato though!
- Yum!
I prefer these though.
- I think that's a problem when you're making food is like
yeah, you want it to taste like the food,
but also you don't want it to taste like the actual food.
- Like the food! (laughing)
- Like tomato, just any tomato, it isn't that good.
- I'm not into that, it's too sweet.
Yuck.
(playful music)
- Wait.
- It's Hershey's chocolate.
- Wait, there's two very different things going on here.
- We've got what I think is lychee and a rose,
maybe it's lychee rose flavored.
And then we've got some chili.
And is that a blood orange?
- That sounds like a stripper name.
Lychee Rose.
(provocative music)
(laughing)
She's a classy stripper.
- Okay, let's do lychee.
- Yeah.
- Smells like perfume.
- Oh my god.
- It's got a sweet aroma.
- Mm, that's good.
It's refreshing.
- Tastes like Roses Chocolates.
- Is that what it is?
Yeah, I think so.
- How do you do you think the chili chocolate
is gonna go down?
You reckon it's gonna be hard?
- Isn't chili chocolate good?
- Oh, it smells like basil.
- Oh!
So you can really taste both flavors in that.
- Oh my god, it's spicy!
What the hell, I'm so confused!
- Oh my god, it's like pepper in the back of my throat!
What is that?
- Oh I was, the spice is here!
I was... (coughs)
- Oh yeah, it kinda tingles now, yeah.
Whoa, that's a lot of tingles, wow!
(laughs)
- China snacks are here to (horn honks) you up man.
- That's an experience.
- My brain can't compute.
(playful music)
- No!
- Do you know what this is?
- It looks like an egg.
- Century egg.
- This my friends, is an egg that's been
around for 100 years.
- Century egg is not a snack.
'Kay that is a meal.
(gags)
I call bullshit.
This is not within the parameters that I agreed to.
- Ugh!
(coughs)
- It smells (horn honks) rank!
(gags)
- I'm like, hold me. - Gag.
- Oh my god!
No, I'm not eating that.
- We don't eat it like this.
This is not a normal way of how you eat century egg.
This is wrong on so many levels.
- I feel like it would work,
you know like how you have pickles on the side of food?
Maybe you have one of these on the side
and you have a little with your food,
to make it more intense, but...
- No one's making century egg salad sandwiches.
- No, ugh!
- Look at that!
That looks like a blob of mold.
(gags)
- What is that texture?
- Tastes like egg.
- Okay.
You're a brave soul.
- No.
(laughs)
No.
It tastes like how it smells.
- It's fine.
- But it tastes just like an egg
that's been in the fridge, maybe a couple of days.
- The longer you chew it...
- The more fishiness comes out?
- The tastier it gets.
- And I only had like the tiniest bit
and it was so gross.
- Yeah.
- You know, food is a visual experience.
And this visual is not great.
- That's not good?
- Uh-uh.
(playful music)
- Australia leans into kinda
like the basic bitch flavorings.
Your chicken, you beef, your pork,
whereas these were very much of the seed.
- In some cases, the original is the best.
In other cases, the non-original is better.
So I think you just kinda need to taste things
and see what you like.
'Cause those wasabi chips were amazing,
but I would not go for those sweaty chips.
So you know, you never know.
- You did well, China.
- Yeah, keep the century eggs though.
