I don't think I've ever heard the name,
but I can recognize the taste.

- Yeah.
- [Host] It's all about trying new foods
for the first time.
- Nah.
- I'm hungry.
I'm gonna eat it.
- Does it taste like watermelon?
- No, it doesn't taste like watermelon.
It's kind of spicy.
- I can barely even taste the spice.
- It tastes kind of pickled, like asparagus or something.
- [Host] The main ingredient
in that one specifically is mango.
- Oh, this is mango?
- [Host] Yeah, pickled mango.
- It's good.
- It's yum.
I love it.
Like I love it.
- [Host] Do you think everyone would like it?
- Anyone would like it.
- Thumbs down.
That means I don't like it.
- Leo, you haven't even tried it.
Don't be rude, try it.
- [Host] What do you think?
- Thumbs up.
I'm gonna try more food.
- [Host] This is a very elaborate dish.
There's multiple parts to it.
- [ Vipra] Is it Panipuri?
- [Host] Nice, called it.
- These are like cookie sort of things.
- You gotta poke a hole in the puri.
- Poke a hole in there.
(Panipuri cracks)
- Helena!
- [Host] That'll do.
(both laugh)
- So the puri doesn't get soggy,
you have to put this thing first.
- We have to put the dry things first,
then put the water in.
- That's water?
- It is water, but there's some stuff in it.
Spices, some chickpeas.
- And that's why you have plates.
(Host laughs)
(bite crunches)
- [Host] What do we think, are you a fan.
- I'm a fan of Panipuri.
- We actually had like a, what, two days ago.
My mom always makes everything.
- We make it like curves.
- [Host] Is it like shaped a little bit differently
when you guys make it all home?
- It's shaped the same, but it's like flatter a bit.
(bite crunches)
- This is my favorite one for now.
- [Host] All good, all right.
- We're ready for the next one.
- [ Vipra] Oh, I can smell the rice.
- [Host] What do you think is in the silver bowls.
- Some sort of potato curry masala thingy?
- [Host] It's Lamb Vindaloo.
- I'm just gonna try the rice right now.
- [Host] You wanna try the rice?
- [Leo] Nah.
- Bye.
Do I have to wait for you to eat it?
- I'll be right back, and don't eat my food.
- Can I just like pour this onto here?
- [Host] Yeah.
- Mm, or you could just do that.
- This kind of reminds me of curry.
- I never knew India was in Asia.
I mean, I have a world at home.
- [Host] You have a world?
- Yeah, it's round, you could spin it,
- A globe. - And one time,
I spin it really fast and then stuck my finger in there,
and then it got stuck.
- [Host] What country did your finger get stuck in?
(both laugh)
- I think it was Australia.
Next up, Australia.
- Is it yummy?
I give it a thumbs up.
Thumbs up.
- Is that Ras malai?
- [Host] Yes, it is!
- Two forks together, wow!
One for each of us, okay at that?
- Wonder what they put in here.
Wait, can we open eyes?
(Helena laughs)
Helena! (all laugh)
- Well, this is like ice cream.
Texture is familiar.
It's kind like mochi, but like softer.
- Thumbs up Ras malai?
- [Host] Yeah, you got it!
- I never tried it.
Can I try more food?
- No, this is the last thing.
- [Host] Should we go back to the other ones?
- Yeah. (Host laughs)
- [Host] Was anything you had today better
than your mom's cooking?
- My mom always makes the best.
- Yeah.
