- [Male Interviewer] What do you think
we're gonna eat today?
I'll give you 100 dollars if you're right.
- Mmmm
Rice!
(upbeat guitar music)
- [Female Interviewer] Hi!
- Hi!
- [Female Interviewer] Do you know
what you're here to do today?
- Try food.
- [Female Interviewer] Today, we're gonna be trying
foods from around the world.
So it's not just one country, okay?
- Bring it on.
- [Female Interviewer] Okay, you can open your eyes.
- Uh...
- Wait a minute, I know this.
Oh, nope.
Definitely do not know this.
- Is this (mumbles)?
- It smells disgusting.
- [Female Interviewer] So all the foods
we're giving you today are fermented foods,
so they're all gonna be a little stinky.
- What is fermented even mean?
- [Male Interviewer] So fermentation
is a way of preparing food
that use bacteria and microbes.
Instead of cooking it with heat, you use bacteria.
- Toilet?
- [Female Interviewer] What?
- Toilet?
(upbeat music)
Oh that tastes good.
(coughing)
- [Female Interviewer] Is it good?
- No.
- This stuff on top.
I don't like it.
- [Female Interviewer] How do you know what that is?
- Because I ate it with my uncle before
and it tastes
gross.
(burp)
Excuse me.
- Is the next one stinky?
- [Female Interviewer] Okay, you can open your eyes.
- What is this?
- [Female Interviewer] It's a jar.
- For what?
- Oh wait a minute.
No, no, no
I've seen this before.
- This kind of looks like uncooked pasta.
- I thought this was gonna be something good.
- [Female Interviewer] What did you think
it was gonna be?
- Coconut.
(jars crashing)
- Whoa.
Just, that one's a little stinky.
- Yummy.
This kind of tastes like cabbage.
- [Female Interviewer] It's pickled cabbage!
- Uhh
- [Female Interviewer] It originates in a specific country.
Guess.
- North Pole.
- [Female Interviewer] Germany.
- I never heard of Germany before.
- [Female Interviewer] It's in Europe.
- Their cabbage tastes so good.
- [Female Interviewer] A lot of people
put it on their hot dogs.
- I do not.
- Mom, can we get this please?
- Daddy, here.
You can try some of it.
- Whoa.
This looks like fish tanks.
- [Boy] Smells like enchilada.
- Uh, no
Too spicy.
- [Female Interviewer] Is it spicy?
- A little.
- [Male Interviewer] Okay, where do you think it's from?
Give a guess.
- Let me think, by the name enchilada,
it's probably from Mexico.
- [Male Interviewer] Well, we didn't confirm
that it's an enchilada.
That was a guess you had.
- Oh yeah.
Uh,
- Uhh
- [Female Interviewer] Okay, spit it out.
- That is not good.
I do not recommend to eat this.
- [Female Interviewer] It is pickled cabbage.
- Pickled cabbage?
- [Female Interviewer] So this is called Kimchi
- Oh! Kimchi! Kimchi!
- [Female Interviewer] Oh, well
now that you're so excited about it,
maybe you can try one more bite?
- It's like pretty good.
- How do you make it?
- [Male Interviewer] Well, you mix up all the cabbage
with some hot sauce and some shrimp paste
and then you bury it in the ground
and you wait for a couple of months.
- I don't think the bury in the ground part is true.
- [Female Interviewer] It's true.
Alright, open your eyes.
- What is that?
- Kind of looks like popcorn because of the white stuff.
- [Female Interviewer] Well?
- Well, it's bad.
- I don't like it, but maybe Daddy would like it.
- It doesn't even taste like anything.
Doesn't taste like nothin.
- Tastes like nuts.
- Tastes kinda weird.
- [Female Interviewer] Weird in a good way
or weird in a bad way?
- In the middle way.
What is this called?
- [Female Interviewer] It's called Tempeh
It's from Indonesia.
- I didn't even know that was a name.
- [Female Interviewer] Can you say it?
- Indonesia
- Why is it like white?
- [Male Interviewer] Well, because the soybeans
are transformed by the fermentation process.
- How long does it sit there?
Probably like an hour, just an hour.
- [Male Interviewer] Well, no.
No.
Maybe a couple days, maybe weeks.
And sometimes it actually turns black
because it gets covered in mold.
But it's totally edible even if it gets moldy.
- I don't like this.
- [Female Interviewer] You don't like eating mold?
- No!
- [Female Interviewer] Do you like cheese?
- Cheese is not mold.
- [Female Interviewer] Cheese is mold.
Sorry.
