- (FBE) So today you're going to be trying traditional holiday desserts.
- Like candy?
- (gasping) Yay!
- I'm excited. I love the holidays.
- (FBE) So what kind of foods do you eat at the holidays?
- Let's see... we make corn, mashed potatoes,
and we usually eat ice cream.
- There's turkey for Thanksgiving.
- Usually, we would eat pie.
- We sometimes make cookies,
just make a bunch of dessert stuff.
- (FBE) Are you ready? - Okay.
I'm a little scared.
I don't know what I'm gonna try.
- (FBE) Here's your first food! - Oh my gosh.
This looks delicious.
- It looks like some sort of pie with cherries and walnuts.
- That smells like apple cinnamon. I'm down.
- This is fruit cake.
It tastes really good.
It's really chewy, and really squishy, but it's really sweet.
- Mmm! That's good.
It melts in your mouth when you taste it.
It's really good and it's really crunchy because of the nuts.
- It tastes like nuts, and then cherries.
- (FBE) You just ate fruitcake.
- I think I've heard of that before.
- I've always seen in cartoons, or just TV shows in general,
that fruitcake is the worst thing ever.
It's all right.
I probably wouldn't have it again.
- Just one more bite. It's so good.
It's so good. [Inaudible].
- (FBE) Here's the next one. - I don't like the look of this.
It looks like poo.
- This looks like a brownie.
- It looks like chocolate pie, a chocolate cake.
Wait, it doesn't smell like it.
- Oh my god!
That's really warm. That's good.
But it's definitely chocolate.
- I'm a little scared.
Mm, I don't like it. I don't like it.
It's bitter, not as sweet like the other one.
- It's like a raisin cake thing.
- It tastes like raw, raw, raw, raw, raw, raw cake.
I don't like it.
- It doesn't taste good. It tastes like raisins.
I don't like raisins.
- (FBE) That was figgy pudding.
- I've never had a fig.
- I've heard of that.
I think it's in a carol or something?
- It's not bad.
I personally just like the traditional cookies
and brownies and cake and whatnot.
- (FBE) Here's the next one. - Pie, I think.
- Ooh, this is pie. Pie!
Oh, but what pie?
- It smells like an apple pie, but it doesn't look like apple.
- It's good.
- Eh, nuh-- ooh, actually (giggling)--
Hold on.
I swear, if this is apple pie, you're giving me the rest.
- I don't like this one. It doesn't taste good.
It tastes like burnt apples.
- It was kind of like the fig, but it was a little bit more sweet
and I felt like there was honey or something in there.
- That tastes a little sour.
I kind of taste a little bit of apple.
- (FBE) That was mincemeat pie. - Ew, meat pie?
- Wait, are you saying that there's meat in here?
Oh, it's starting to look weirder.
- Mincemeat pie is a sweet pie made of dried fruits,
some meat, and spices. - No wonder it tasted weird.
- It's a weird concept, but it tastes fine.
- It's just like two good foods mixed together.
It's just not good.
- (FBE) Here's your next holiday treat.
- It looks like yogurt with nuts and berries in it.
- It looks like jello or cake.
- Oh, is this macaroni or something?
Oh, it smells like cream cheese or something gross.
- I have no clue what this is, so I'm gonna try this first.
Mm-mm. It tastes like yogurt.
- Ooh, that's cold.
Don't mind me, please.
- Not too bad.
It's kind of like cream cheese and cherries.
- It tastes a little bit like ice cream, like a fruit flavor.
- It tastes like cherry ice cream, but a hint of pecan.
- I like how it's cold.
It tastes like frozen yogurt.
- (FBE) That was frozen fruitcake salad.
- Maybe that's why there's lettuce-- because it's salad.
- It did taste like the fruitcake.
- This one is, like-- definitely stands out to be one of the best.
I really like this one.
- (FBE) Okay, so before we give you your last treat,
I have a question for you.
Have you been naughty or nice this year?
- (hesitantly) Nice?
- I've been pretty nice.
- Nice.
- (FBE) Let's see. - No!
Why must this happen to me?
- It's coal. I've never gotten coal before.
- Is this coal candy?
Ooooooh!
I ate it.
Woo! That is minty.
- It's just a big rock of cinnamon.
I'm okay with a little bit, but a lot of cinnamon really gets to me.
- Spicy. That is spicy.
Aah! That's spicy.
Eh! Those were some hot coals.
- It kind of tastes like a cinnamon-- a spicier cinnamon candy.
- (FBE) That was candy coal.
- So you gave me coal?
Oh, but I've been nice!
- I feel like you could give it to someone who was bad.
Here's your Christmas present!
- It's not as good as the cake, but still.
It's better than coal, at least.
- (FBE) Final question:
which of these holiday desserts do you recommend?
- It would be the normal fruitcake.
- Frozen fruitcake.
- The fruitcake.
- Coal candy, it was good, very minty.
- I want to say fruitcake salad.
It kind of tastes like ice cream.
- Fruitcake, it was really-- it was probably the best one.
- The frozen fruitcake, that one was really good.
- My favorite is frozen fruitcake salad.
Some of them are okay, but some of them were really good,
and some of them are, like-- what the heck?
I just ate that?
