Hello and welcome to a new episode of Coffee Break French To Go!
[Music playing.]
My question for today is:
Have you ever eaten anything strange? (As-tu déjà mangé quelque chose de bizarre ?)
Or, more formally:
Have you ever eaten anything strange? (Avez-vous déjà mangé quelque chose de bizarre ?)
Let's take a look at how the people of Nantes answered.
[Try to listen to the answers first time through without subtitles.]
Some answers make me feel hungry, but others don't at all!
Let's watch them again, with subtitles.
Wasps.
In Réunion I ate curry, wasp Rougail, and that was really strange...
really strange because, well, because we aren't used to eating that sort of thing...
in Europe, and that was strange.
There you go, no particular taste but the idea was strange.
Well, the last time we went to (the shop) 'Nature et Découvertes' and Celeste bought a little pot of grilled insects.
I think, there you go, that's the weirdest thing I've ever tried.
It's not amazing but there you go, she spent 8 Euros...
But... well it tastes like crisps, right? So, yeah.
Well, I saw it and then I said to myself "why not?". That could be fun.
Ehm, well I ate insects.
I've tasted little worms, there you go.
I'm not too fussy (with food). I eat a bit of everything, but...
a bit, how to say it? Calamari squid, a bit, I don't like that very much.
And me, the strangest thing I've ever eaten would be live octopus, like in Korea.
No, well I haven't ventured into eating really strange things.
but I think that, out of the ones that I would have had the opportunity to eat,
it's sea cucumbers in Asia, but I didn't dare!
Well - but I eat them a lot and I really like them - it's oysters,
but it's true that they have a strange texture.
That I've ever eaten... it's typically French,
but I would say snails, and it wasn't long ago that I tried them!
The strangest thing that I've ever eaten... ah, good question!
Ehm, I haven't really eaten strange things.
People tell me afterwards that I'm eating strange things, sometimes, yeah. Yeah, people tell me.
For example, at times I eat rice with broccoli and a tin of mackerel
and I eat just that, with nothing else.
And I have friends who say to me: "Ah, but how do you eat that? That's so weird!".
Then, well, there you go. I still eat it.
Well there you go!
My answer...
Yes.
I've eaten tripe.
It's really, really strange. I don't like it.
Anyway, now my question for you is:
Have you ever eaten anything strange?
Okay.
That's alright.
Sadly that's all for today, but we'll be back very, very shortly for a new episode of Coffee Break French To Go!
Bye!
