- Hey, guys.
It's Inga, and this time,
I will only be eating pink-colored foods for 24 hours.
I was scrolling through the comments,
and I saw a lot of people requesting for pink,
and so that's why I decided to go with pink this time.
So I know I mentioned doing clear-colored foods,
and that's still going to happen.
I just have something really special planned
for that episode, so please look out for it.
Please be patient.
Coming back to today, as always,
we will be trying to find food
that is naturally colored pink.
I can't really think of too many pink things.
The first thing that comes to mind is cotton candy,
which is not exactly the most natural.
I will do my best to find some proteins, some carbs,
and some veggies and fruits that are pink.
So wish me luck.
And let's go grocery shopping again.
Pink.
I found this radish thing.
This looks pink.
Bacon's usually still pink.
There really isn't a lot of pink here.
I'm not really sure what to do, so I'm just scavenging.
I found pink salt.
Real strawberry juice and puree.
These pink Korean rice cakes look really good.
Sakura.
I'll put this over something.
I'm also grabbing these crab chips.
Port wine cheese spread.
I found some pink grapefruit.
It is a brand-new pink day.
I don't really have any like super pink shirts,
but I do have this coral pink top
that hopefully will pass for today.
So let's get started with breakfast.
There's not really that much for this first meal.
Three things.
This is a pink grapefruit,
so it should be a lot more pinker and sweeter
than normal grapefruit.
And then we have this strawberry yogurt.
I really like this brand
because they're usually a lot less sweet
and they focus on using really simple ingredients.
And then I'm just going to cook up some bacon.
And then we can plate everything together.
It's definitely a lot lighter in color.
I'm trying to keep it more pink.
So it's kind of really greasy.
And then over here, I'm realizing the yogurt,
it's a super light pink.
I'm going to pour it out and maybe add a raspberry
to make it a little more pink.
And breakfast is done.
We have the bacon.
We have the pink grapefruit.
Here's the yogurt.
On camera, I feel like it doesn't look as pink.
But it's definitely not your usual red.
Slightly sweeter than ruby grapefruits.
And then for this bacon, it's definitely very floppy.
I don't mind it, honestly.
It's still good.
To finish off, we have this strawberry yogurt.
I guess now it's strawberry and raspberry.
Get a big heaping spoonful.
This is perfect.
And just to get my caffeine fix in,
I was thinking of stopping by one of my favorite cafes
here in New York.
They're known actually for this really pretty drink
called the Rose Petal Milk Tea.
I'm really excited to take you guys there,
so I'm going to finish up, clean up, and then be on my way.
(upbeat music)
This is all naturally colored rose syrup,
and these are little flower petals.
I'm gonna be here for a little more
before I head to the office.
This is my pink drink of the day.
♪ It's going to be a gorgeous day ♪
It is now lunchtime.
I am back here at the Tasty kitchen.
We have a bunch of assorted items.
So this is what we have in total.
Pancetta and prosciutto, both of which are ready to eat.
We have the pink radish in berry juice,
and then we have our spices,
pink salt and pink peppercorns.
Two different kinds of spreads.
One is this port wine cheese spread,
which is, I think, pink because of the wine.
And then we have this, it's called taramosalata,
made with lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh fish roe.
It just looked really interesting,
and I was really surprised to find out
that there's no pink color dye in this,
so I'm excited to test this out.
And then in terms of carbs, I enlisted Alvin's help again,
and that's why on this side we will this pink crepe batter.
Look at how nicely pink it is.
So the pink here actually comes from beets,
like a beet puree.
I am excited to work with this.
So we can do some sort of prosciutto/radish crepe situation.
This meal really is going to be a bit of an adventure.
I am going to start making the crepes first.
Normally with crepes, I use butter,
but because butter is not pink,
I'm hoping this non-stick pan will work.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie.
It looks like a giant piece of ham.
But, but, once we plate it, it will probably look better.
This is what it looks like.
It really does look like ham,
but that's a pretty cool-looking crepe, right?
Our crepes are done.
I am now gonna move on to these pink peppercorns.
I'm going to try and crush them a little bit using this.
It almost smells floral.
We'll see how it tastes.
We don't even have to cook anything else
'cause they're all ready to eat.
My plan for the prosciutto, pancetta, and the radish
is to kind of roll them up and wrap them together.
I see them do this at like cocktail parties.
Usually it's around breadsticks,
but this could be the healthier version.
Okay, so these are done.
Just opened this port wine cheese.
I really don't think I've had anything like this before.
Wine and cheese usually go together,
so I guess this makes sense.
Ooh!
Not exactly the consistency I was expecting.
It's kind of really goopy.
It smells like fish roe.
I am just going to spread these on the crepes now.
(upbeat music)
Multiple parts completed,
so I'm just gonna throw them all on a plate
and we should be ready for lunch.
Here is lunch.
These crepes actually do look like meat,
but I promise they're actually crepes.
And then we have the filling in between.
The prosciutto and pancetta wrapped around radish
with pink peppercorn and pink salt on top.
Also, I have this drink.
It's actually mostly water with one drop of a hibiscus tea.
Now it's pink.
Time to eat.
Actually gonna work on one of these first.
It smells good.
I actually wouldn't mind having that as an appetizer.
They actually pair together pretty well.
It's kind of like that sweet/savory combo.
Prosciutto, they usually pair it with melon.
In this case, the daikon is the sweetness in that pairing.
And the peppercorn adds a nice touch.
This might just be something that I would snack on at home.
Even though there's only one drop of hibiscus in here,
you can still taste it.
I think this is the one with cheese.
You definitely get the aged cheddar.
It's kind of like cheese on bread.
The crepe is good.
I'm really excited about this fish roe spread.
Interesting.
I think I liked the cheese one a little more.
The fish hits you right away.
It almost catches me off-guard, but it's not bad.
I think lunch turned out to be better than I expected.
Going to now finish it up and get back to work.
It's around 4:30 right now.
I think it's a good time to crack open this bag of chips.
These are those crab shrimp chips that I found.
It should hold me through until dinner.
This is actually really pink.
I guess it comes from the crab and the shrimp.
This is what it looks like.
It really just tastes like shrimp chips, which I love, so.
- I'm here with Inga.
What are you eating?
- Pink chips.
- On-brand for today.
- [Inga] Please try this.
Are the chips pink?
- Yeah, definitely.
- You like it?
- Oh yeah, I would eat 'em at home.
- Well, I am back home.
It's still pretty early, but I think,
because of the limited amount of pink foods
I've been able to find, I haven't been eating that much.
So it's all digesting very quickly,
so I am going to have an early dinner today.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing.
I know I'm missing some pink vegetables,
so I might have to have radish again.
But let me show you guys what I have right now.
This super long fish sausage made with fish paste,
as you can see in the ingredients here.
Pink peppercorns, pink salt.
Then we have the salmon flakes that I bought
that are more like a coral pink, kind of like my shirt.
And then we have this really cool sakura powder.
This is how they normally serve it, on rice.
I haven't had this in a long time,
but it's also a type of fish flake.
It's kind of sweet and savory,
and it's a very pretty pink color.
And then we have these Korean rice cakes.
I know they usually use natural food coloring
to add some color to their rice cakes.
I think there's some kind of filling in there
that's kind of sweet, but I'm missing carbs.
I'm really not entirely sure how it's going to go down,
but I'll probably pan-fry this sausage
and try to pair up the rice cake with the seasoning we have.
Yeah.
Ta-da!
It is definitely pink.
Let me try to cut it up.
It smells kind of fishy, which makes sense,
'cause this is fish paste.
So the sausages are done.
I'm gonna bring back the radish that we had earlier.
So I'm just gonna cut it and put it on top of the sausages.
I'm just gonna repeat these steps.
The rest of the ingredients I don't really need to cook.
Like, the salmon's cooked, the rice cakes are cooked.
I'm just going to throw them all together
into the final plate.
I hope you guys are ready for this.
Here is our super pink dish.
So you can see the sprinkled-on sakura on the rice cakes,
the radish, and the fish sausage,
and I put the salmon flakes in the middle.
So I think visually it's pretty appetizing,
but I don't actually if the combinations work.
For drinks, I found this kombucha.
It's pink because of the guava puree that's in it.
Let's give it a try.
That's a bite.
Mm.
The fish sausage has a very interesting texture.
It has less of a bite than what I'm used to.
It kind of reminds me of those little fish sausages
that we used to eat as a kid.
So now I'm gonna eat the rice cake
with the little sakura on top.
Actually, with the sakura powder, it's pretty good.
There is sort of like a sweet filling inside.
I think it's like sugar and peanuts, which isn't pink,
so I'm gonna try and nibble around it.
My roommate thinks I'm crazy
for trying to eat this without the filling.
I'm gonna try the sakura powder as is, actually.
It's so interesting.
The first bite is sweet, and then it becomes savory.
You can definitely taste the fish in there,
but also a lot of sugar.
A little bit of kombucha.
Oh, it smells so nice!
I love guava, and I was really sad this time
that I wasn't able to find pink guava.
Ooh, that's so good.
I never even knew that this was available.
I know you guys wanted me to try doing something else
that wasn't pasta.
So here I am.
I see you.
I always end up playing with my food.
I really filled it up to the brim with pink.
That's so good.
I guess it makes sense because this normally goes on rice,
but wow, that combination was unexpectedly good.
I really like that.
I'm going to finish up here,
and then gonna finish off the dinner with a dessert.
I'm honestly so excited about this.
Cute packaging aside,
I think it just comes in the perfect portion size.
Strawberry milk bars.
Ta-da!
It's really just like strawberry milk
but frozen strawberry milk.
I honestly think pink foods was pretty difficult.
It was more of a struggle to maintain a balanced meal.
Somehow we managed to make it through the day.
I hope you guys enjoyed.
Let me know in the comments below
what color you want to see next, and see you guys next time.
Bye.
