- Open wide.
Is this made out of potatoes?
- [Female Host] Today, we are trying
foods from World War Two.
- Yes!
I'm into history and I've already read the adaptation
of Anne Frank's diary.
- [Female Host] Tell me what you know about World War Two.
- The United States
got introduced into it,
um, I think from,
um, Hawaii.
- [Female Host] Do you know what happened
on December 7th, 1941?
- Um, oh, Pearl Harbor.
- [Female Host] Yes.
Well, I'm going to show you something.
Get in your time machine.
- It kind of looks like
a fish type.
- No, it is fish.
- Save the products of the land.
- [Female Host] During the war,
there was a shortage of meat.
So, the government encouraged people
to eat fish.
- I could not live without meat because
that's, like,
like 95 percent of what I eat.
- Hmm, not my cup of tea.
(silverware tapping)
Is there carrot bread
or is this sweet potato?
- So,
definitely a bunch of cut up eggs
and a big block of
I don't know.
- Is it meatloaf?
I think it's meatloaf.
- [Female Host] It's like a meatloaf,
but, if you recall,
meat was scarce.
- Oh.
- Hmm,
not bad.
- This is gross.
- Gross.
- I think the yolk tastes terrible,
honestly.
- [Female Host] Yeah, those are actually eggs
from World War Two.
All right, open your eyes.
- Whoa.
It has a good amount of vegetables,
potatoes.
- [Female Host] Have you ever heard of a victory garden?
- War gardens for victory.
Grow vitamins at your kitchen door.
- [Female Host] So, families were encouraged to grow
victory gardens
and cook with food from their own back yard.
- We have green beans in our back yard,
we have potatoes in our back yard and
pumpkins.
- This is yummy, I mean,
tastes just like the Filipino
food that I like but except with no meat.
I'll miss you.
- Muffins.
- These look like brownie muffin type things.
- Still good.
- [Female Host] Can you guess what it's made with?
- Cocoa butter?
Open wide.
Is this made out of potatoes?
- [Female Host] It's a chocolate and nut potato cake.
- Potatoes?
Unusual
taste for potatoes.
Yum.
- I would just think
this is an ordinary muffin.
- Oh, whipped cream.
- This looks whipped cream with
with oranges?
- Mmm,
this is just liked whipped cream.
- Go home,
buy
a bottle of whipped cream,
get some orange peels,
put it in the bowl,
that's dessert.
(laughing)
- [Female Host] This is called fruit mousse.
It is a sugarless
dessert recipe.
- Mmm.
- So there's no sugar in this?
- [Female Host] They made it using
corn.
- Wholesome, nutritious foods from corn.
- Oh, corn syrup.
- A lot of things in the world
have corn syrup in them.
- That is super good.
- [Female Host] What do you think about war?
- Um,
it is horrible and there are
better
solutions to resolve problems.
Maybe they could have just sat down and went, like,
"Let's discuss this"
but that probably would not happen.
- War is
super scary and
super intimidating.
- It doesn't
matter what you fight,
but what you fight for.
I saw that saying in a book.
- Thank you for watching.
- [Female Host] All right, bye guys.
(giggling)
- Bye.
