(gags)
(spits)
- Save me.
(upbeat music)
- [Interviewer] Do you think that different food
can make you feel different emotions?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, because like when I eat Brussels sprouts
I feel sad and when I eat pizza, I feel joyful.
- (sighs) I mean onions make you cry.
- [Interviewer] What do you think the most comforting food is?
- Mac and cheese.
- [Interviewer] I'm so sorry to break it to you.
We are not eating mac and cheese, today.
We are trying soups from around the world.
Do you think soups are comforting foods?
- Yep. (giggles)
- (gasps) Soup, soup is my favorite food.
- [Interviewer] I'm so excited to hear that.
(gasps)
- [Interviewer] Okay. We're going to have you
close your eyes and bring out the very first dish.
And open.
- Oh.
- Smells pretty good.
- [Interviewer] What does it smell like?
- Smells a bit like seafood to me.
- [Interviewer] There's crayfish in there.
We also have some stockfish. So there's a couple
different things that will be giving you that vibe.
- It's good.
- [Interviewer] You ever heard of
any of those ingredients, before?
- Not at all.
- [Interviewer] I will warn you,
this soup is a little bit spicy.
(Interviewer chuckles)
- Spicy, spicy.
- Maybe I can handle it.
(pants)
(burps)
(Interviewer chuckles)
Excuse me.
- [Interviewer] I think you have a really good spice tolerance.
Some of the other kids, this was
a little too spicy for them.
- This is supposed to be spicy?
- [Interviewer] Alright, we're going to
cut you off so that it doesn't burn your taste buds.
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] We'll move on to the next one.
- [Child] OK.
- [Interviewer] And open.
- What?
- [Interviewer] Do you know that soup?
- Yep.
- [Narrator] What is it?
- Borscht.
- [Interviewer] Do you know where that comes from?
- Russia.
- [Interviewer] Yes it comes from
places like Russia and Eastern Europe.
- Mm.
- [Interviewer] Do you like it?
- Love it.
- That's actually pretty good.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever eaten anything that color before?
- I once licked blood.
- [Interviewer] What?
- We ran out of Band-Aid's so I was like (slurps).
- [Interviewer] So, what gives this its color is beets.
- I'm not really a beet fan, you know?
(gags)
(spits)
- Save me.
- [Interviewer] What does this soup make you feel?
- Relaxed.
- My emotion is probably confused
because it has all of these different flavors to it.
And there's flavor (moans).
And there's flavor (groans), there's not
really words for them, there's sounds for them though.
- [Interviewer] The sounds of Borscht.
When have you had this before?
- Hm, at home.
- [Interviewer] Who makes this for you?
- Mom.
- [Interviewer] Aww.
This is Pozole.
- They're chips.
- [Interviewer] Mhm, those are corn chips.
Pozole is a soup that comes from Central Mexico.
- What is it made out of?
- [Interviewer] So this soup uses hominy,
meat, chili peppers, and seasoning.
- Yummy.
- If I go and visit my relatives
in Oregon, my aunt usually makes
a really big batch of green Pozole.
- Is this a good bite?
- [Interviewer] That looks beautiful.
- OK, I'm going to add more broth because
broth makes everything better.
- [Interviewer] I couldn't agree more.
Do you know the three different kinds of Pozole?
- There's red and green, I don't know the last one.
- [Interviewer] The last one is white.
It's the same three colors as the Mexican flag.
- (slurps) Hot.
- [Interviewer] How does it taste?
- It tastes good.
- [Interviewer] When do you eat this?
- Thanksgiving, usually. It just reminds me
of festivities like being happy and celebrating.
- It makes me feel happy because it's so yummy.
- [Interviewer] This is called Bun Bo.
- Bun Bo.
- [Interviewer] Exactly.
- OK, how do you hold chopsticks?
- [Interviewer] Usually you hold them in one hand.
You can also use the giant spoon on the silver platter.
- Oh, I might use that. I don't need you anymore.
(Interviewer chuckles)
It's delicious.
- [Interviewer] This is one of the
more popular soups in Vietnam.
- I was going to say some of the ingredients
remind me of pho which is also Vietnamese.
You got the beef, the noodles, the bean sprouts,
sauce, and soup stock which is also pretty similar.
Mm, God I love that sauce.
- Not yummy.
- [Interviewer] How do you think this compares to pho?
- That uh, pho is a seven and this is a 10.
I see little spicy dots.
- (slurps) It's spicy, but it's so good.
- [Interviewer] You know the question I'm about to ask you.
What does this soup make you feel?
- It makes me feel amazing.
(whoops)
It went up to space.
