- It is time to go onto my next meal,
which is supposed to be a meat pie.
I was supposed to get this meat pie from Servo.
My only options were like a hot dog or like a taquito.
So neither of those were right,
but I did eventually find
something that resembles a meat pie.
And I know this isn't gonna be right.
And I know this is not gonna be what was expected
but the closest version I could find
is (beep).
- Hi, I'm Zeta from Aussie.
- What's up guys, I'm Jeff from the US.
- And we are gonna be swapping diets for 24 hours.
- Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
(vocalizing)
- We've planned a day of meals for each other.
And at the end of each meal,
we're gonna be giving it a thumbs up,
if it was a bloody great
or a thumbs down if it was a dog's breakfast.
For Jeff's Aussie menu we're gonna start the day off
with smashed avo.
The reason millennials in Australia, can't buy houses.
For lunch, we're gonna go on to the classic meat pie
and choccy milk.
We're gonna finish the day off with the chicken parmi.
Which I actually hate, but people love.
And if you get hungry you can have fairy bread
- For Zeta's American menu,
She is going to be having the classic American cereal
cinnamon toast crunch for breakfast,
for lunch she's gonna have a PB and J sandwich,
for dinner she's gonna have some good old fashioned
chicken and waffles,
and if you get hungry through the day,
if that wasn't enough fatty food for you,
then I'm giving you a little twinkie to snack on.
- So Jeff, just something you should know about me
before we start this little food swap,
is that I am notorious for having bad food opinions.
So (clapping) see how that goes.
- It's a little extra challenge.
Well, something you should know about me
is I'm known for being-
- Here we go.
- I'm known for being contradictory.
And I also didn't know how to drink one of the UK's
favorite beverages
and a clip that has then gone viral
and continues to haunt me in my dreams.
Oh, my God. So thick.
(beep)
So you're also in for a treat.
(beeping)
It's first thing in the morning,
and it is time to make some breakfast.
- Normally for breakfast,
I'll have like Apple and toast
or eggs
or muesli.
- My breakfast meal item is
an avocado toast on sourdough bread.
I'm fairly confident that I am going to
both smash this out of the park,
making-it-wise pun kind of intended.
Sorry, it was bad.
And then I'm gonna really enjoy it.
- So starting my day with lucky charms.
(exhales loudly)
My body's just gonna be like,
"Bro, what are you doing to me?"
- [Jeff] Got my bread, obviously going for two slices,
pop in the toaster.
- Lucky charms.
You've got rainbow, marshmallows,
also the marshmallows are hard.
- [Jeff] I don't know the best way ever really like do this.
Take it all from the outside
and just kind of like squeeze it in
which I feel like it's kind of gross.
And now we smash.
And then I actually also like to include some
little tomatoes in there too.
- I also don't drink milk.
So I'm gonna do almond milk
and that could either make it taste way better
or way worse.
- Toast is ready.
So now I'm just gonna add a little bit of butter on there,
time for the main event.
I think this looks pretty damn good if you ask me.
Look at that.
(clicking)
All right, finally time to eat my breakfast
which I'm very excited about.
- Oh, it smells like neutral grain.
- And of course I have my coffee,
not part of the menu but a requirement
for me to have at all times
- It started to make the milk go colorful
which I'm not into.
- Let's dig in.
Oh, yeah, listen to that.
(crunching) (spoon clanking)
- Okay. Okay.
- Feel good.
It's actually a good way to start the day too.
- I like this cereal.
I don't like the charms.
So unfortunately I couldn't find cinnamon toast crunch.
- Oh, no.
- No.
So sad.
Secretly, ecstatic.
(audience clapping)
- No, nothing to be ecstatic about,
you're missing out. You're missing out.
- I did find lucky charms, so I had that instead
and surprisingly
very, very surprisingly,
I'm giving it a thumbs up.
I actually liked it. - Yes. Oh, my gosh.
- Which is shocking.
- Smashed avocado as breakfast is obviously
like such an obvious thumbs up.
It's so... I'm a huge fan.
I eat it all the time already
but like creativity on a menu, everyone already does it.
So I have to deduct points for lack of originality.
Lack of originality. Lack of originality.
So I'm gonna give this a medium,
middle of the ground, middle of the road.
Great choice, just not that original one
we're trying to like swap for diets.
- First, you have the Ribena
now you're gonna have the whole of Australia
in the comments being like "Smashed avo is Aussie!"
Time for lunch.
We are having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
- It is time to go onto my next meal
which is supposed to be a meat pie.
I was supposed to get this meat pie from Servo,
which is like a gas station, I guess
but never really heard that before.
The closest thing we really have to that in the US
or at least around here is like a 7-Eleven.
My only options were like a hot dog or like a taquito.
So neither of those were right (buzzing).
But I did eventually find
something that resembles a meat pie
and I know this isn't gonna be right.
And I know this is not gonna be what was expected
but the closest version I could find is this cornbread pie.
So yeah.
I don't think it looks good at all
- Here in Australia, we don't really have jelly,
we have jam.
Now (chuckles) I am absolutely gonna just get slammed
in the comments, come for me Americans.
But because we don't have jelly,
I went to my shop, local shops and bought some jam.
Did I buy strawberry?
No (buzzing). I bought wild blueberry.
Am I sorry about it?
No, I'm not
- Took it out of the box and this,
(chuckles)
this is what we have.
So yeah, I can't wait to feel so great after eating this.
- In the movies,
whenever they make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
I always see them do peanut butter on one side
and jelly on the other.
So that's what I'm gonna do because movies are real life
and everything is fact in movies.
(vocalizing)
- Look at that frozen meat and veg.
Into the microwave we go.
So it is time to eat this attempt at a meat pie.
(exhales loudly)
It's very flavorful.
- I don't have a problem with that at all.
- To be honest, it's really not horrible.
It's not something I would really choose again.
But now what I don't understand is why
we would wash this town with chocolate milk,
but I agreed to a challenge.
- [Jeff's mom] To make the taste go away.
(cheerful music)
- I mean chocolate milk is chocolate milk, but like.
- Ding, ding, ding, the school's bell's gone.
It's lunchtime.
You open your lunch box.
And for my American lunch, I had a PB and J.
I give it a thumbs up. It was delicious.
I liked it.
- Oh, my God. (audience clapping)
I can't believe.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- I can't believe it either.
- Oh, my God, you don't have bad...
All these Australians who say you have bad food opinions,
they're wrong.
You have good food opinions.
You're two for two on America.
- I know.
And also I'm being validated
by the guy who drink Ribena straight.
- And you did it with fucking blueberry jam
as opposed to grape jelly but you know what?
Whatever gets you to give me a thumbs up, I'll take it.
The meat pie I had and the chocolate milk I had
were not a combination my stomach ever wants me
to have again.
It for me was unfortunately worse
than a dog's breakfast.
- Oh, my God!
I can't.
You taking my title away from me.
I thought I was bad but...
- I promise you it's gonna get worse.
- How can it get worse?
- So it is my favorite time of day, snack time.
Well normally have one-to-one like some chips
or some cookies or something, but today
'cause I'm eating like an Aussie,
I've to eat fairy bread.
- My first concern about the twinkie.
How long has it been in the plastic wrapping?
Also what is it supposed to be?
Because it kind of looks like a hot dog bun
with cream in it.
- It only consists of three ingredients,
some bread, got it.
Some butter and rainbow circular sprinkles.
- I'm gonna just stiff test, okay.
Okay. Okay.
(hiccups)
- Feel like that's a good amount.
Heaps of butter, hey how's that?
Heaps?
The recipe I read said, "Dump the sprinkles into a bowl
"or on a plate and then dip the bread in it." (chuckles)
This is ridiculous.
So sprinkles on the plate,
bread,
and then done.
- Oh, I'm sorry but what?
- I guess I need to get all the sprinkles
all over the place.
(coughs)
- Oh, my God. Yuck!
It smells like off milk.
Is that normal?
- (chuckles) The fuck is that?
- Oh, I don't know if I can do it.
No, I can. I can.
I can.
(inhales and exhales loudly)
- I mean,
it just tastes like a lot of butter.
Oh, Guys. Why did I even do this?
(coughs)
- I think that's the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.
For my snack for the afternoon on my American menu,
I had a twinkie.
I don't know dear Americans,
why you decided to make this horrendous food,
but I have one nice thing to say about it.
I give it a double thumbs down
and if I had more thumbs, I would give it more.
Sorry.
- Well, I didn't get to try fairy bread as a child.
I'm sure if at a birthday party
there was bread with sprinkles on it.
I would have fucking eaten that shit up.
Unfortunately,
Australia fairy bread is also getting a thumbs down
for me. (buzzing)
But I really want you to know
that I believe in your nostalgic love for it.
And that it's okay to be different.
(laughs)
- Not if you don't like fairy bread.
- It is finally dinner time
and I couldn't be more excited
because my last two meals were complete flops.
- Last on the list today is dinner, chicken and waffles.
Now I love chicken and waffles independently
but together, I can't think of anything worse
- For dinner, I'm having a chicken Parma
or a chicken parmi in order to make this I have purchased,
get ready, some chicken cutlets.
And I am gonna top it with some
tomato and basil pasta sauce.
And then meltdown some mozzarella cheese.
It's called a chicken Parmesan.
Don't know where the Parmesan cheese is.
Don't know why that's not on it,
but it's not on the menus I read,
so it's not getting it.
So let's cook.
- [Zeta] Tonight, I'll be eating fried chicken.
- [Jeff] Oh, again Australia,
I know this isn't exactly what it's supposed to be
but give me some credit for trying my best.
In it goes for about 10 ish minutes.
- So we have,
(inhales loudly)
(indistinct) baby waffles.
(squeals)
Oh, let me let's put that bit on there.
All right, let's take off the chicken,
that's a good idea.
- [Jeff] Didn't fully think this through
to be honest it's a shock.
What could go wrong? Right?
This is a giant ball of mozzarella
should put one chunk in the middle to kind of put
the cheese here.
Okay, there's my concoction.
She's going back in.
- [Zeta] Now it's maple syrup time.
(cheerful music)
- [Jeff] I mean, again,
definitely not what it's supposed to be
but like works and is gonna be fine.
- Okay, time to eat the chicken and waffles.
You've got it right here.
Oh, my stomach is like,
(vocalizing)
I haven't even taken a bite.
- It is finally time to eat my attempt at a chicken Parma.
Again, I think this looks bomb.
I am really excited to eat it.
What could go wrong?
Cheese is all melty.
It's steaming 'cause it's straight out of the oven.
- For record to show, she's got it all in one bite.
- Delicious.
- I actually don't hate the chicken
and the maple syrup together.
I think that's quite good.
- Perfection.
But why would anyone wanna eat this?
- But then you add the waffle and the chicken.
Oh, and it's just so sweet.
Okay, so for my final meal of the day dinner,
some would call it.
I had chicken and waffles with maple syrup.
I like chicken and maple syrup,
the chicken and the maples syrup on the waffles,
absolutely not. Too much.
It's too sweet. - What?
- I don't like it.
Why are you gonna ruin fried chicken?
Sadly, fried chicken and waffles gets,
all thumbs down (buzzing).
- Oh, wow. I'm shocked.
So my dinner was a chicken Parma.
Parmi, parma, parma?
- Parmi. But it's controversial.
- So, I made my own kind of,
and I know that's not fully right
but I'm giving it like two thumbs up dude.
I'm giving it.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
- Okay, well I think we can both agree
that today was an experience.
- It was, but I think I'm gonna surprise you here.
- I'm ready.
- If I had to choose menus,
I would definitely get rid of the fairy bread,
but with a real meat pie, I might go Australian.
- We won, we won, you heard it here first.
Australia food is better.
So I also agree that Australian,
the Australian menu's better and I couldn't be happier.
(cheerful music)
