0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Stefan Gates and I'm a food adventurer,

0:00:04 > 0:00:06which means I've eaten the coolest,

0:00:06 > 0:00:09the weirdest and the rudest food on earth.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12And now I'm going to serve it to you.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Because this is Incredible Edibles Gutbusters!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18THEY CHEER

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Welcome to the show. I am ridiculously excited

0:00:42 > 0:00:45because I've got an amazing gang of fearless food heads.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- And here they are! - THEY CHEER

0:00:48 > 0:00:51OK, guys. You all look a bit cheeky.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Now, we eat some pretty strange things on this show.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Are you prepared to eat anything? - ALL: Yeah!

0:00:56 > 0:01:00That's what I'm talking about! But all this mayhem would be wasted

0:01:00 > 0:01:03without you watching at home. Here's what we've got coming up for you.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08'On today's show, will street dance star Turbo

0:01:08 > 0:01:11'dare to dine like a vampire?'

0:01:11 > 0:01:15This is potato soup made with blood.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20'Will our volunteers chicken out of today's mystery meal?'

0:01:20 > 0:01:25- You've been eating... chicken head flaps.- Urgh!

0:01:25 > 0:01:27I'll never get that taste out of my mouth.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32'And can we make the ultimate fast food

0:01:32 > 0:01:35'by firing spuds at 100 miles an hour?'

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Have we got chips?- ALL: Yeah!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45This show is all about potatoes!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47THEY GROAN

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Hm. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54They don't look all that exciting but when these ancient roots

0:01:54 > 0:01:56were first imported from South America 500 years ago,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00they were nasty, poisonous little roots fit for a witch's brew.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03But farmers had a hunch, so they kept planting and changing them

0:02:03 > 0:02:06until they developed the potato we know today!

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Which then became so important that millions of lives and deaths

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- have depended on them. - ALL: Get on with it!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Hm. OK. Now, what no-one seems able to explain

0:02:17 > 0:02:20is the amazing, magical transformation

0:02:20 > 0:02:22when you cut potatoes into finger-sized slivers

0:02:22 > 0:02:25and dunk them into boiling hot fat

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- to make them into... - ALL: Chips!- Oh, yeah!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32But the big question is, is it the simple chippiness of chips

0:02:32 > 0:02:35that makes them so good, and if so, can we make any food into chips

0:02:35 > 0:02:39and transform it into something delicious? Well, I've got no idea.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Let's try it out, though, with the help of Lara, Ben and Adam!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45CHEERING

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Chips. How do you feel about them? - They're tasty.- You're a fan?

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I like them cos you can put tomato sauce on them.- Oh, I like that!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Lara, do you like a chip?- Yeah. - Excellent. Well, you're in luck.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I was wondering, is it just that they've been dropped into hot fat

0:02:58 > 0:03:00that makes them delicious?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04So, I thought we should try things that maybe we don't always like.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- What do you think about Brussels sprouts?- ALL: Urgh

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Let's give them a go! We're going to make sprouts into chips.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16We've got some sprouts chipped up. We're going to drop them in hot fat,

0:03:16 > 0:03:21which is what happens to a chip. Will it make them better?

0:03:21 > 0:03:25- ALL: No! - Let's give it a try. In they go.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Ooh! That's lovely. OK. There we go.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30All nicely chipped!

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- What do they smell like, Adam? - So bad. They smell of poo.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Fantastic. Grab hold of one. Ben, you grab one.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Have a chew, tell me what you think. These are Brussels sprouts chips.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Ben's almost vomiting at the same time as eating, which is clever.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Yeah?- Tastes nicer than normal Brussels sprouts.- A-ha!

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- So chipping it helps.- I don't think you can make sprouts better.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- They're still disgusting. - I hate burnt stuff and that's burnt.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59OK. I need a thumbs up or thumbs down.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01How about Brussels sprouts chips?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06That doesn't matter, cos I've got a whole range of different foods

0:04:06 > 0:04:09that don't come normally as chips.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Beetroot. I think it's going to taste totally disgusting.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15OK. Have a good taste and see what you think.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18The great thing about beetroot is it makes your poo red.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Adam?- Hard, sickly. STEFAN LAUGHS

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's not good. They don't mix. Do not try this at home.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I think it tastes OK because it's quite soft

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- and doesn't taste at all bad.- OK.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Thumbs up or thumbs down for beetroot chips?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's about half and half. OK. I'm liking that.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- What have you got there? - Lettuce.- Lettuce chips?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- ALL: Urgh!- It's a bit floppy.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Oh!- I think it tastes OK. It's better than normal lettuce

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- and tastes a bit sweeter. - It's OK for lettuce.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Lettuce dipped into vinegar. I like vinegar with chips

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- but not with lettuce. - OK.- That does not mix.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Thumbs up or thumbs down to lettuce as chips?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ooh, that's kind of a no. OK.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's going quite well. Let's lift the blue lid. What's under there?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Wheat cereal chips.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13What would happen if we deep-fried our breakfast? Would it work?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- THEY SHOUT - Let's find out. Looks quite weird.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Mm!- They're good! Tastes like breakfast cereal.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- But in a chip form. - Much more greasy.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I think it's nice because it's breakfast cereal made better

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- with the fat and the grease. - So the chipping's going well.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think it's really nice. It's a bit dry,

0:05:31 > 0:05:33- not very moist, but I think it's nice.- OK.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37So, does the wheat cereal chip get thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41It's a thumbs up! It's a big, fat sponge.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44This is steak chips.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- ALL: Ohh!- Normally you have steak and chips. We've cut out the middle man.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Would that be good?- ALL: Yeah! - Let's find out. What do you reckon?

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Have yourself a steak chip. So this is a chunk of steak

0:05:56 > 0:05:59dipped into hot fat. Bit chewy there, Adam?

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Tastes like steak, yes. - Good steak?- Yes.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Is it better because it's a chip? - Yes.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I like it! Ben? - Chewy but really nice.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- I think it's nice and soft and nicer than normal steak.- OK.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16So, steak chips, thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Oh, yes, a winner! So some of these things are working better as chips.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24So, here's the last one. Liver. Who loves liver?

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- ALL: Urgh!- No-one! This is some of the innards of an animal

0:06:28 > 0:06:31and we're going to try it as chips.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, guys, grab a piece of liver each.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Dig in and see if liver chips work for you.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43Easy to bite, breakable, tasty.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Well, it's edible, but it's not very nice.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49It tastes like some sort of really bad meat and I really hate it.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Bit of a split vote. So, chipped liver, thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Hm. I think that didn't win.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57But some of these foods did really well

0:06:57 > 0:07:00considering you'd normally hate them.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02I want to make the most terrifying chips on the planet

0:07:02 > 0:07:05so I'm not going to use a knife, I'm going to use this!

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- ALL: Wow!- Uh-huh.

0:07:08 > 0:07:15Over there with Angry Dave is the IR3000 potato obliterator mark 2.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17We'll see how it works at the end of the show.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19But give it up for our brilliant chip ticklers!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Pottering about on a boat on a river.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31What could be more calm and lovely?

0:07:31 > 0:07:35But the reality is, underneath the surface of this water,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37there's a battle going on between the British

0:07:37 > 0:07:40and alien invaders. Oh, yeah.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44I've come here to the River Wey in Surrey to find out all about it.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49'Landscape officer Jim Jones is going to introduce me

0:07:49 > 0:07:52'to a pesky pest from overseas

0:07:52 > 0:07:55'that's muscling out a British beastie.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57'I want to know if eating these invaders

0:07:57 > 0:08:00'could help our home-grown critters survive.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02'But first we need to catch them.'

0:08:02 > 0:08:06So you're saying that this river is crawling with little beasts?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09It is indeed, yes. Right at the bottom here,

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- we're going to hopefully find the signal crayfish.- Crayfish?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- And it's a fish or is it a...? - It's a crustacean,

0:08:16 > 0:08:21so it's related to creatures like the lobster, so big claws.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23In the rivers of England there are mini lobsters?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25So how are we going to get them out?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, we're going to use a crayfish trap, and I've got one here.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- This is a crayfish trap. - Specially built for crayfish?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Specially built to capture these crayfish.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37They'll enter in through one of these holes here

0:08:37 > 0:08:41and once they're in, it's designed in a way that they can't get out.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43What do you use as bait?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, it's a detritivore, so it feeds on dead things

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- that wash down the river. - A detritivore!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50So basically, it eats rubbish.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- So what have you got here? - OK, well, we've got a fish

0:08:53 > 0:08:56which we can cut in half and put in the trap.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59We've got some bacon. They really like bacon.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- That's really weird.- It's expensive, so we don't always use that.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05You can actually use cat food,

0:09:05 > 0:09:07tuna fish or something like that.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11So already you can see there's a lot of juice coming out of there

0:09:11 > 0:09:14and once you get that in that trap, in the water,

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- it will drift out on the water... - And the crayfish will smell it

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- and go, "Oooh!"- They will indeed.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22And so that pops in the trap, like that.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- And then it's ready to go in. - Let's do it.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oh, you need a bit of string, as well,

0:09:27 > 0:09:29otherwise you drop it in and go, "Ah!

0:09:29 > 0:09:32"How am I going to get it out?"

0:09:36 > 0:09:40- How long do you leave it for? - We need to leave it overnight.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Crayfish are nocturnal.- So at night, it's a party down there.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- It is really. - DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:46 > 0:09:49'The crayfish like to par-tay,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51'er, I mean, eat, at night.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56'But luckily, Jim laid down a trap for us yesterday.'

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Yes!- Oh, yes!- We have crayfish!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Oooh!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- That is ugly! - JIM LAUGHS

0:10:06 > 0:10:08They flare up. They're quite angry fellas, aren't they?

0:10:08 > 0:10:12They're called signal crayfish cos they've got these little white flags

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- on the inside of their claws. - Big old claws for a little fella.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Fantastic.- Oh, he's trying to grab me! Ow! Ow! No!

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- JIM LAUGHS - Ow, ow, ow! Owww!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Argh!

0:10:30 > 0:10:32They're actually very aggressive animals,

0:10:32 > 0:10:35which is why they do so well in our rivers.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Are these good things to have in rivers?

0:10:37 > 0:10:41No, these are aliens in our rivers. They're not supposed to be here.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44They were introduced in the 50s and 60s.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48And it's a real problem because they eat our native white-clawed crayfish

0:10:48 > 0:10:51and they are host to a crayfish plague.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55They're a problem species. We're not allowed by law to put them back.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57We have to actually get rid of them.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59'Well, I really want to help,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01'and this being Incredible Edibles,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04'I think we can eat our way out of this problem.'

0:11:04 > 0:11:08There we go. Purged, boiled and ready to eat.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Ooh, look at that. They've completely changed colour.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15They're now bright, bright orange. Beautiful!

0:11:17 > 0:11:19So they've cooled down really nicely. Then what you need to do

0:11:19 > 0:11:23is break it open, so you pull the back off,

0:11:23 > 0:11:25there we go, little bit of guts in there,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29but in there, as well, is all the meat. That's where the meat is.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Pull that apart, like that.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Dip that in a little bit of herby mayonnaise.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38And have a little taste.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, wow. Oh, wow!

0:11:44 > 0:11:49That is absolutely delicious. It's like eating the finest lobster,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52which costs you a fortune! The brilliant thing is,

0:11:52 > 0:11:55these fellas just come from the rivers around Britain.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58And by eating them, we help our own native British crayfish.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I reckon cook them and eat them.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Now, grownups are always banging on about

0:12:07 > 0:12:10breakfast being the most important meal of the day.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13And sometimes they do have a point. Now, I want to try out

0:12:13 > 0:12:15some of the world's great breakfasts.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18But I can't do it on my own. So please give a big hand

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- to Will, Dheeran and Bronny! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:21 > 0:12:25- So, what did you have for breakfast this morning, Will?- Full English.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Like it! Dheeran?- Toast. - Bronny?- Cereal.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32The same sort of stuff. How about pushing it out there a little bit,

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- trying things you've never tried before? You up for it?- ALL: Yeah.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40So, exotic breakfast number one.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Dig in there. Looks like somebody's been sick in your omelette,

0:12:43 > 0:12:46in quite a bad way. But what does it taste like?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Bronny?- You would think it'd taste disgusting,

0:12:49 > 0:12:51but it actually tastes like a normal omelette.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's quite nice, but the black thing is quite bitter.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- I love it!- You love it! - Yeah, it's good,

0:12:58 > 0:13:03cos you've got a plain taste then you've got the pepper that's sweet.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07There's quite a few different flavours. This is what's in it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10This is called huitlacoche.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14OK? So absolutely classic Mexican food.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16And underneath there is corn

0:13:16 > 0:13:20but on top is a fungus that grows on the corn.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24If you have a little taste, it's got quite a sour sort of flavour.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Have a little try.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's a bit... I don't know.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- It's an acquired taste, isn't it? - Mm.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- It's quite disgusting.- Excellent! Let's get another one out.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41So now we've moved from Mexico to Hong Kong.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44And in Hong Kong, this is a classic breakfast.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Ha! - THEY LAUGH

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Grab a spoon each. Can you see what's on here? Crab!

0:13:50 > 0:13:54So who had porridge for breakfast? Who had crab porridge?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Nobody. Oh, really?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Well, this is crab porridge.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Basically, you take a crab,

0:14:01 > 0:14:04you stick it in a load of rice and you boil it for ages.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Have a little try of that.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's quite nice. It tastes like normal rice

0:14:11 > 0:14:15- but it's got a hint of crab. - Yeah, it's really soft

0:14:15 > 0:14:18and it's really warm, so it makes it even more nice.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21OK. Now we've got the last one. There you go.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25So grab a big spoonful of this green stuff round the edge.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Ohh, lovely!- It's quite spicy.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Mm-hm.- And it's not crunchy, but it's gooey.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36It's quite watery and, like Bronny said, it's quite spicy.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40It is very spicy. It's like a soup almost, really.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Do you know what? Exactly. It is spicy and it's gooey

0:14:43 > 0:14:46and it's a soup. And it's got this in it,

0:14:46 > 0:14:50which is why it's so lovely and gooey.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Do you want to see what one of those is?- OK.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Grab one of those. What do you reckon it is?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- ALL: A pig's leg. - I think it's a joint or something.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03This is cow's hoof.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08And what you're eating for breakfast is cow's hoof soup.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10And it's a Pakistani classic.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12And when you said it was nice and gooey,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14that's because when you put hooves in,

0:15:14 > 0:15:17you get this wonderful gelatine that comes out of it

0:15:17 > 0:15:19and it makes things taste really lovely and unctuous.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22So, do you think you'd have that in the morning?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- In the middle of your cereal? - Yeah.- Yeah?- Maybe.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Not with the middle bit still in.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30It does seem amazing to mess with breakfast,

0:15:30 > 0:15:33but you've gone on an adventure. Guys, you've been brilliant.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Give them a massive round of applause!

0:15:36 > 0:15:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:40 > 0:15:46'Still to come, can we turn supersonic spuds into chips?'

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Is this the coolest potato chipper in the world?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51ALL: Yeah!

0:15:51 > 0:15:55'And will street dance star Turbo get the wobbles

0:15:55 > 0:15:58'in Incredible Or Inedible?'

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- This is jellyfish.- Ohh! - LAUGHTER

0:16:04 > 0:16:08'But first...' We have three courageous guinea pigs

0:16:08 > 0:16:10who'll be tickling some food that I brought back from my travels

0:16:10 > 0:16:13in my Mystery Meal.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Are they brilliant or are they bonkers?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Well, I don't know, but I've locked the door so they can't run away.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Please give a huge round of applause to Luke, Adam and Celeste!

0:16:25 > 0:16:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Are you feeling confident today?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Yeah.- No.- Yeah.- OK.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Luke, if I served you your food nightmare, what would it be?

0:16:35 > 0:16:42- Probably fish eyeballs.- Adam, what's your ultimate food nightmare?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Kangaroo private parts. LAUGHTER

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I don't think they've defrosted yet, so it won't be that.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Celeste, what could be your ultimate food nightmare,

0:16:51 > 0:16:55- something that'd make you vomit on the spot?- Yoghurt and mushed peas.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK. We'd better get some tarpaulin out here

0:16:57 > 0:17:00cos it's going to get a lot worse than that. Would you like to see it?

0:17:00 > 0:17:02ALL: Yes!

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Blindfolds on first. Very important to make this as scary as we can. OK.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- They're going to be eating... - What is that?

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- ..these. - THEY SHOUT

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Starfish!- Starfish?- Snails!- Snails?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Body parts!- Well, do you know what?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24It doesn't really matter, cos you don't have to eat it,

0:17:24 > 0:17:26they do! Let's get on with it!

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Now, what's that I hear you cry?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Why do I love putting people through this agony?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Good question. Partly, it's just quite funny.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40But also, I'm hoping that once deprived of sensory stimulation,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43these guys should be able to appreciate food

0:17:43 > 0:17:46on a brand new level. And they might discover

0:17:46 > 0:17:48that an ugly food actually tastes fantastic.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52After all, before it's turned into a bar, what does chocolate look like?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54ALL: Poo!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Poo indeed. So, we haven't got poo, don't worry, it's not poo.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59So, Luke, how are you feeling now?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- I don't know.- OK. Adam?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Worse than I felt before I had this blindfold on.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Yeah. Celeste, how you feeling? - I'm pretty calm, but I don't know.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12OK. Well, before you even try it, I can reveal to you guys at home

0:18:12 > 0:18:15what today's Mystery Meal is. It's these.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- I'm just going to drop this into your hand. Be careful.- Is it alive?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25It is, but they shouldn't last very long once they're in your mouth.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Are you ready? Here we go.- Agh! - LAUGHTER

0:18:29 > 0:18:33- OK, are you ready?- No. Urgh! LAUGHTER

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- What is this thing?- Well done. - Urgh! Feels horrible!

0:18:37 > 0:18:42- I think yours might still be alive. - Oh, no! Oh! Urgh!

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- It has feet.- Urgh, it's horrible!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Agh! LAUGHTER

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- OK, are you ready to eat it? - No!- I think I know what it is.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm going to have one with you. I'll have the biggest one. Ready?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56One, two, three, bite it.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Urgh, no! - LAUGHTER

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Oh, my... I don't want to eat it.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Celeste, have you tried it? - Yeah.- Where's my water?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Urgh!- The water's there. These have been cooked in honey

0:19:07 > 0:19:09so they should be nice and sweet on the top.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Yeah, I quite like it. - It's pretty good.- It's disgusting.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I can't tell you what they are yet but I can reveal

0:19:15 > 0:19:18they're a favourite food in Italian cuisine, very popular in France

0:19:18 > 0:19:21where it's combined with luxury foods like sweetbreads and truffles.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24It's also eaten in the East End of London. OK.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Would you like to see what it is? - Yes, please.- OK.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Lift up those blindfolds.- Urgh!

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Urgh! What is that? - What do you think it is?- Poo.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40- Is it a lizard? - I think it might be squid.- A fish.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45- A spiky fish.- A spiky fish? - A foot of, like, a lizard.- OK.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Do you want to find out? - Yes, please.- You've been eating...

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Urgh!- ..chicken head flaps.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I'll never get that taste out of my mouth.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- If I go like that...- Oh, it's the wee things on a chicken's head!

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- What about the chin things? - They're also known as cockscombs.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04- This is one before it's been cooked. - That looks a bit nicer.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06There you go. Have a look at that.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- LAUGHTER - It's exactly that.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I actually really like them. It's a bit like an ear.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Have you ever tasted ear before? - No.- Of course they haven't.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Now you know what they are, would you try it again?- Don't think so.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I'm out.- Me, too. - I quite like it, so yeah.- Brilliant.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25You guys have been absolutely brilliant.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Some of the bravest Mystery Mealers I've ever come across.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Guys, give them a massive round of applause.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Now, listen here! I try to make sure that everything in this show

0:20:40 > 0:20:44is educational and informative. But the next bit, well, it isn't.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46It's time to get a celebrity up on stage and torture them

0:20:46 > 0:20:49to within an inch of their lives in the name of entertainment.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yep, it's time for Incredible Or Inedible!

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Thank you very much for coming on the show.- No problem.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's a commonly held perception that stars like you

0:21:07 > 0:21:11basically eat little slivers of stardust and maybe gold bars

0:21:11 > 0:21:14and truffles brought to you on trays. Do you ever eat normal stuff?

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Yeah, definitely. Chicken and chips now and again, pizza.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- You're a real person!- Yep, I'm real. - That's extraordinary.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23And also, you're a dancer. Can you show us some moves?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- You want me to show you some moves? - Yeah.- You sure?- Bit scared now.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- But yeah. - I'll show you some moves. OK.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Oh, I like that! Now, what's your favourite food?

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Thai food?- Yeah. - Nice and spicy?- Yep.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49- So Asian flavours you like? - Yep, creamy, coconuts, all that.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52OK. I might have something for you. And what about the worst food?

0:21:52 > 0:21:55- What do you really hate? - Jellied eels and runny eggs.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Ooh, no.- Jelly things generally? - Uh-uh. Can't do it.- OK.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Come over here and I'll show you how the game works.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05We get three dishes, you get to try them,

0:22:05 > 0:22:07and then I tell you what it is.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09You decide then whether or not you find it

0:22:09 > 0:22:12incredible, inedible or somewhere in between.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Over there are some of the things we've tried in the past.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Lamb's testicles, tripe,

0:22:16 > 0:22:20lamb brains, which I thought were quite nice, others weren't so sure.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's the zone we're in. Does that make you feel good or bad?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26- I'm not sure. Huh? - Let's get on with this!

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Please, big round of applause for dish number one!- # Bring the action

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Thank you very much. OK.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Here we go. We're going to start you nice and easily.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39You grab one of those. Go on, tuck in. In you go.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Hey! Top man! These are very simple. They're potato doughnuts.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46So they're normal doughnuts but they're made with potato flour

0:22:46 > 0:22:49instead of normal wheat flour.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- What do they taste like? - HE LAUGHS

0:22:52 > 0:22:54- LAUGHTER - It's sweet

0:22:54 > 0:22:57and it has that potato texture to it.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- So a bit different from normal ones. - Yeah.- It's your decision.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Is it incredible, inedible or somewhere in between?

0:23:03 > 0:23:07THEY SHOUT

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Incredible! - THEY CHEER

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Time to get a bit more challenging. Dish number two is this.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Are you a chopstick kind of guy? - Yeah.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Shall I have a little try with you? - Yeah, you go.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- HE LAUGHS - You do it first.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- A-ha-ha!- Oh, that's too much.- Oh.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Top man. - LAUGHTER

0:23:40 > 0:23:46- Wriggles as it goes down, doesn't it? This is jellyfish.- Oh!

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- LAUGHTER - Oh!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Ooooh!- Stings a bit, doesn't it?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Oooh! - LAUGHTER

0:23:54 > 0:23:57This is a Chinese delicacy. It's cured for a little while,

0:23:57 > 0:24:00it's dried out and then it's rehydrated

0:24:00 > 0:24:04and it's got a really, really slimy texture.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07It doesn't really have any taste of its own.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11You add taste to it. So we got a lovely Thai flavour for you

0:24:11 > 0:24:13specially cos we knew you liked Thai food.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16That looks like it's about to come back up again!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Is it incredible, inedible or somewhere in between?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21THEY SHOUT

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Inedible!

0:24:25 > 0:24:30You're nearly there. We always save the best till last, though. Ready?

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- No.- Bring on dish number three!

0:24:33 > 0:24:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Thank you very much. This is fantastic stuff.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Do you want to have a little look? - ALL: Yes!- Here we go.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- ALL: Urgh!- Is it poo soup?

0:24:46 > 0:24:50- TURBO LAUGHS - That's actually quite close.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Horse's blood. Poo soup. OK.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58- TURBO LAUGHS - In you get and have a little try.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Mm-mm!- Oh, no, a small piece.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Mm!- Five, six, seven, eight. - In you pop.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06He's very good. Now, this is a dish

0:25:06 > 0:25:09made with potato. It's a potato soup.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Except this is potato soup made with... blood.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17LAUGHTER

0:25:17 > 0:25:21That, my friends, is duck blood.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- LAUGHTER - It's duck blood and it's called

0:25:24 > 0:25:27czernina. It's a dish that's very popular in Poland.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30We use blood in quite a few dishes of our own.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Black pudding, things like that. So, blood soup.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37- It's gravy.- Think of it as gravy.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41Get in the zone. And then you need to decide...

0:25:41 > 0:25:44What do you reckon? Would you eat blood soup?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- THEY SHOUT - Quite a few yeses!

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Quite a few yeses!- No!

0:25:49 > 0:25:51There's a big no!

0:25:51 > 0:25:55Turbo, it's your decision.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59THEY SHOUT

0:26:04 > 0:26:08In between! Guys, give him a massive round of applause!

0:26:08 > 0:26:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:17 > 0:26:21- So, are potatoes brilliant? - ALL: Yeah!- Oh, yeah!

0:26:21 > 0:26:25And the most awesome form of the potato is the chip.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Now, making chips can be dead simple,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30but this is Incredible Edibles, so I wondered how we could make it

0:26:30 > 0:26:33enormously complicated and massive spectacular.

0:26:33 > 0:26:38So we've made this. This is the IE3000,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41the potato obliterator mark 2!

0:26:41 > 0:26:44It's a bowling machine used by cricketers for batting practice.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Do you want to see how it works? - ALL: Yeah!- OK!

0:26:47 > 0:26:50I've got Turbo here to help me. You're going to protect me.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- I'm going to protect me, yes. - STEFAN LAUGHS

0:26:54 > 0:26:56What we do is, we drop a cricket ball in

0:26:56 > 0:26:59and hopefully it flies out of here quite fast.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Whoa!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09This goes out at 100 miles an hour,

0:27:09 > 0:27:12so I thought, if we can fire a potato,

0:27:12 > 0:27:16maybe we can use that speed to chip it. So, bring on the chipper!

0:27:16 > 0:27:21- APPLAUSE - This is Angry Dave.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24He's been making the chipper. It's made him even more angry.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Dave, are you very angry today? Yeah, really angry. OK.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Whoa!

0:27:36 > 0:27:40Ooh! Ooh!

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Oh! Ooh! Oh!

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Have we got chips?- ALL: Yeah!

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Is this the coolest potato chipper in the world?

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- ALL: Yeah!- Oh, of course it is!

0:27:52 > 0:27:57Thank you so much to Turbo, to our fantastic volunteers,

0:27:57 > 0:28:00our brilliant studio audience and to you guys for watching at home.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Join us next time for more Incredible Edibles! Whoo-hoo!
