- How many can you fit in your mouth?
- I know now that I fumbled it.
- Take this whole thing away right now.
(soft music)
- Hi, my name is Ada.
And today we're trying each other's cultural snacks.
- The rules of the game are...
- We're gonna go head to head with the person next to us.
- You have to eat your snack,
try and guess which country it's from,
and you just have to lock it in.
There's no going back.
- I'm excited to try different cultures' crisps,
because I feel like I only know UK ones really.
- I'm actually very excited for this
because I think everybody went a little bit nuts.
- I'm straight gonna win. I think.
- You do food for a living.
- I do do food.
- I eat the same five things every day.
I'm not gonna do well.
I'll probably wait and get my own.
- I'm dreading this one because I don't eat crisps ever.
I ate a crisp maybe a decade ago.
- What?
- I just don't eat crisps.
- Crisps are like the best, so many flavors to pick from.
- Bring in the crisps.
- Ay ay.
(soft music)
- They're huge.
- They're like massive Wotsits.
- All right, it's good smell.
I thought it was gonna be like a spicy smell
but it's like a cheese smell.
- What is it with Wotsits and man, like-
- We got big Wotsits.
- Oh God, I'm so nervous.
Sepi, are you here with me. Let's just-
- Yes, I am.
(bright music)
- That's a straight Wotsit.
That's the biggest Wotsit I've seen.
- Oh.
- They're not leaving a lot of dust on my hands,
which I like.
- I know why in my head, it should have been spicier.
- I think what makes them unique is the size
- How many can fit in your mouth?
(Lucia chuckling)
- I've never seen a crisp this large.
Is my main takeaway.
What do I know about crisps?
Maybe they're all this big and I just dunno.
- I'm gonna put it right there.
- I don't know where they brought that from.
- I'm gonna say here,
it's more like a process of elimination.
- 'Cause I feel like every country
loves a bit of a cheese snack.
I am going to go with this one here.
- I'm gonna go with this.
- I'm gonna go this place
because I think they like to just go big.
- My Iranian crisps are Pofak slash Cheetos.
They're basically Wotsits on steroids.
They're like this massive cheese puff.
(bright upbeat music)
- Look, these seem more my vibe.
- Ooh.
- I like the look of these.
- Ooh, I like.
I'm smelling barbecue.
I'm smelling this country loves their meat.
- Whoa.
- It smells like plantain crisps
but then you eat them and it's not plantain crisp.
- Mm. Do you like? I like, I like.
Oh, these are a dangerous.
- Yeah. I like these a lot.
These people know how to party.
- It's a unique flavor that I don't think I've had before,
so I'm confused.
- These may convert me.
I don't know for sure.
- No. - But I do like them,
like a corn tortilla kind of vibe to them.
- I'm gonna go here for no reason in particular.
- I'm gonna go with this country
because of the smell.
And I think the smell might be an environment
for where it was bought.
- #Yolo.
And I'm gonna put them here.
- So I'm taking a wild guess here.
And I like the look of this.
So I'm going... I'm locking it in.
- I'll go for here.
So I'm gonna look off for that and lock it down.
- Stop looking at me, Lucia.
- I'm not looking at his board.
Now I wonder if you fooled me.
- The Filipino crisps are called Chippy
and they're barbecue flavored corn crisp.
They're very delicious,
and once you have one you can't say no.
(soft music)
- Interesting.
- Another Wotsit look-alike.
- Yeah.
- But they don't look as cheap.
- Oh no. Please smell them.
- Ooh.
- Oh. That's like...
- This smells like peanut...
- I know what that is.
- What's that?
- That's peanut.
- It is peanut.
- On crisp? I am shook.
- I know you are gonna be my favorite already.
- Oh, I like.
- Oh yeah. No I get of it.
- Roasted peanuts on it.
- That is not nice.
Why would you do a peanut flavored Wotsit?
I don't understand the logic there.
- There's a reason why they're small and a bit like smiles.
They put smiles on people's faces.
- I feel like these are more like kids.
- It's not that it's not nice,
it's just confusing me.
- I don't mind it in a weird way.
I think it's actually-
- Oh, is it 'cause it's your people's.
- I would say it's from this space
because I just feel like the flavor profile
fits this country.
- Out of just eliminating some of them, I'm gonna say here.
- I'm gonna go for this country here.
- I am going to go with this one.
I just feel like peanuts could be from
- 'Cause you are still eating them,
I suspect it's yours.
You're chomp, chomp, chomping away.
I'm going here.
'Cause somebody's scarfing them down.
- I thought I did so well.
So for my crisp, I've got a peanut Wotsit,
is what you can liken it to.
I used to have these as a young boy in Kosovo.
Super delicious.
And again can be found all over Eastern Europe.
(ding sound)
(upbeat music)
- It's got very strong smell already.
- Okay.
Okay, hello?
- I'm seeing flavor already on this.
I can see the herbs,
I can see the spices. - Spices.
- Straight India.
- This is definitely India.
- Oh, that is amazing.
Wow.
- If this is a different country, I'm gonna be fuming.
- There's spice in them.
- There is some spice in them.
- I know you don't like spice.
So I think this might be a bit too much for you.
- India on a crisp, I wanna assume, oh, that spice.
- Oh, that's a very strong spice.
- This is like a crisp that you could have
with a cup of tea.
I think that's the other thing is I like snacking with tea
and a lot of crisp would be weird to have with.
- Oh, no.
- It's building.
It's building.
- They've got beautiful flavor.
There's so many, I can't pinpoint what.
- No, maybe that's not India.
- Too late for you boy.
- They just look so nice and tiny and cute.
- I should have guessed it.
- Ooh. - Ooh.
- Another flavor is coming through.
I don't like it.
My palate does not agree with it.
- I'm pretty certain this crisp is from here.
I want the person to tell me what this is called
so I can go buy some.
- I really should have tasted it first.
- Oh, there is a spice in it.
It's very delayed.
- I very foolishly without tasting it, put mine on India
just from the potent smell.
But I think it's there instead
- Herbs in a crisp like this it's gonna be Turkish bread.
- Yeah.
- So then we're gonna go that region, Iran.
- I think it's from this place.
- I'm gonna go here.
I hope that I'm right.
It's because of the spices it's from here.
- I'm very confident with that,
and I'm gonna have a glass of water afterwards
'cause my mouth is on fire.
I brought in Puri,
but they're basically like a dry, crispy, crunchy,
savory snack.
The ones that I brought in today are masala ones,
so they do have some spice to them.
(ding sound)
(upbeat music)
- Okay.
- I'm familiar.
- I like.
- I like
- I wonder which cuisine this is from.
- Yeah, they just have a bit of a different texture
and I love it.
Like they're a little bit like stronger, aren't they?
- I know now that I fumbled it, I should have held out.
I can see the error of my ways.
(soft crunching)
- Mm-hmm.
- Don't even try it.
- This is clearly a-
- Clearly Iranian.
- Fried banana.
- I like.
- I like this a lot.
- Mm.
- I love plantain.
- Yeah, me too.
- And I've not had them in this form before.
- You haven't had crisps in 10 years.
You're missing out.
- What I love about them is that they're sweet and savory
at the same time.
- Yeah. - With a little bit of a kick.
Once you have one, you gonna wanna keep going and going
and going.
- I've never seen anything like this before.
(Lirim laughing)
- From what I understand, bananas grow in the Philippines.
- I don't think there's a flavor like them.
I find.
I love a bit of fried plantain.
- I put it in Nigeria because it's obviously Nigeria.
- Well, I've gotta go here,
but I'm not fully sure about this.
- So I'm gonna have to put them somewhere
that they're definitely not from.
And it's gonna look ridiculous on the board.
Let's say here,
even though I think that these should be sorted around now.
- I don't think they're from here
because of the sweet and savoriness
and the bit of that spice.
- Because I can't imagine this being from another country.
So I'm gonna place that right here.
- This is new texture for me.
- Well, fried banana.
- So my crisp option, I brought plantain crisp.
Is it Nigerian?
At least the packet that I've brought
I think is a Nigerian company.
But you know, they eat plantain all over the world.
(ding)
(upbeat music)
- Oh. - Ooh.
- Ooh.
- They look like Knick Knacks.
- Whoa.
- I don't know that smell.
- How do you not know that smell?
That is cheese with a capital C.
- Smell like feet.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah.
(soft crunching)
- It is.
- Mm-hmm. It is.
Wow.
- They're not too cheesy though
when you eat them. Right?
- They do taste exactly like Wotsits
but because they're not fluorescent orange.
I believe they're healthier.
- The shape for me, that's unique.
- Yeah.
- It tastes exactly like a Wotsit.
- It's quite nice, it's quite subtle.
I think the smell might throw you off.
Once you open that bag and you get hit by the smell.
- I feel like I need to lick my fingers.
- I think it's here because... Yeah, that makes sense to me.
- I think they're from this country.
- Why?
- Because they have got none left.
(laughing)
- These are gonna go right here.
And I hope I'm right.
- Definitely from here anyway.
So I will take some and put them over here.
They're known for that flavor.
So I'm feeling pretty confident.
- It's not these 'cause these have gotta be flavorsome.
They've got to have something to...
Not that that doesn't have flavor by the way.
Not that ruins the nation, I apologize immediately,
but it's Western, and for that reason.
- I think that they are from this country
because they taste awesome.
- Is that all you can say?
They taste awesome.
- Yeah.
My crisps are Fonzies.
They are cheese.
And the catchphrase of them is (speaking foreign language),
which means if you don't lick your fingers,
you only enjoy half of it.
(upbeat music)
I just messed it all up here.
Crisps aren't all my forte, are they?
But we tried
- I won.
- Yeah baby.
- I got three.
- Hey listen.
Can I just say, but you're having crisps in what?
10 years.
That's pretty impressive. - The problem is
I don't know anything about crisps.
I'm feeling okay about this.
- Oh, am I six for six here?
- Take this whole thing away.
Take this whole thing away right now.
I'm gonna flip this whole... (laughing)
Take this whole thing away right now.
- My number one is the plantain chips.
- The plantain chips.
- [Producer] How about you?
- The peanut ones.
As you can see from my reaction of scarfing them down.
- The peanuts ones.
Not bad.
- I have to say my top, top tier one
has to be the Kosovo ones.
I'm a big fan of peanuts. So I love it.
- Sure I'll just shout out my own country.
- Yeah.
- These are great.
Everyone should be- - They're amazing.
- Everyone should be having more of those.
- Thank you for the snacks.
I enjoy it.
