I'm Stefan Gates and I'm a food adventurer,

0:00:020:00:04

which means I've eaten the coolest,

0:00:040:00:06

the weirdest and the rudest food on earth.

0:00:060:00:09

And now I'm going to serve it to you.

0:00:090:00:12

Because this is Incredible Edibles Gutbusters!

0:00:120:00:15

THEY CHEER

0:00:150:00:18

Welcome to the show. I am ridiculously excited

0:00:390:00:42

because I've got an amazing gang of fearless food heads.

0:00:420:00:45

-And here they are!

-THEY CHEER

0:00:450:00:48

OK, guys. You all look a bit cheeky.

0:00:480:00:51

Now, we eat some pretty strange things on this show.

0:00:510:00:53

-Are you prepared to eat anything?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:00:530:00:56

That's what I'm talking about! But all this mayhem would be wasted

0:00:560:01:00

without you watching at home. Here's what we've got coming up for you.

0:01:000:01:03

'On today's show, will street dance star Turbo

0:01:040:01:08

'dare to dine like a vampire?'

0:01:080:01:11

This is potato soup made with blood.

0:01:110:01:15

'Will our volunteers chicken out of today's mystery meal?'

0:01:170:01:20

-You've been eating... chicken head flaps.

-Urgh!

0:01:200:01:25

I'll never get that taste out of my mouth.

0:01:250:01:27

'And can we make the ultimate fast food

0:01:280:01:32

'by firing spuds at 100 miles an hour?'

0:01:320:01:35

-Have we got chips?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:01:350:01:38

This show is all about potatoes!

0:01:420:01:45

THEY GROAN

0:01:450:01:47

Hm. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

0:01:470:01:51

They don't look all that exciting but when these ancient roots

0:01:510:01:54

were first imported from South America 500 years ago,

0:01:540:01:56

they were nasty, poisonous little roots fit for a witch's brew.

0:01:560:02:00

But farmers had a hunch, so they kept planting and changing them

0:02:000:02:03

until they developed the potato we know today!

0:02:030:02:06

Which then became so important that millions of lives and deaths

0:02:060:02:10

-have depended on them.

-ALL: Get on with it!

0:02:100:02:14

Hm. OK. Now, what no-one seems able to explain

0:02:140:02:17

is the amazing, magical transformation

0:02:170:02:20

when you cut potatoes into finger-sized slivers

0:02:200:02:22

and dunk them into boiling hot fat

0:02:220:02:25

-to make them into...

-ALL: Chips!

-Oh, yeah!

0:02:250:02:28

But the big question is, is it the simple chippiness of chips

0:02:280:02:32

that makes them so good, and if so, can we make any food into chips

0:02:320:02:35

and transform it into something delicious? Well, I've got no idea.

0:02:350:02:39

Let's try it out, though, with the help of Lara, Ben and Adam!

0:02:390:02:43

CHEERING

0:02:430:02:45

-Chips. How do you feel about them?

-They're tasty.

-You're a fan?

0:02:450:02:49

-I like them cos you can put tomato sauce on them.

-Oh, I like that!

0:02:490:02:52

-Lara, do you like a chip?

-Yeah.

-Excellent. Well, you're in luck.

0:02:520:02:55

I was wondering, is it just that they've been dropped into hot fat

0:02:550:02:58

that makes them delicious?

0:02:580:03:00

So, I thought we should try things that maybe we don't always like.

0:03:000:03:04

-What do you think about Brussels sprouts?

-ALL: Urgh

0:03:040:03:08

Let's give them a go! We're going to make sprouts into chips.

0:03:080:03:12

We've got some sprouts chipped up. We're going to drop them in hot fat,

0:03:120:03:16

which is what happens to a chip. Will it make them better?

0:03:160:03:21

-ALL: No!

-Let's give it a try. In they go.

0:03:210:03:25

Ooh! That's lovely. OK. There we go.

0:03:250:03:28

All nicely chipped!

0:03:280:03:30

-What do they smell like, Adam?

-So bad. They smell of poo.

0:03:300:03:34

Fantastic. Grab hold of one. Ben, you grab one.

0:03:340:03:37

Have a chew, tell me what you think. These are Brussels sprouts chips.

0:03:370:03:41

Ben's almost vomiting at the same time as eating, which is clever.

0:03:410:03:46

-Yeah?

-Tastes nicer than normal Brussels sprouts.

-A-ha!

0:03:460:03:49

-So chipping it helps.

-I don't think you can make sprouts better.

0:03:490:03:53

-They're still disgusting.

-I hate burnt stuff and that's burnt.

0:03:530:03:57

OK. I need a thumbs up or thumbs down.

0:03:570:03:59

How about Brussels sprouts chips?

0:03:590:04:01

That doesn't matter, cos I've got a whole range of different foods

0:04:020:04:06

that don't come normally as chips.

0:04:060:04:09

Beetroot. I think it's going to taste totally disgusting.

0:04:090:04:12

OK. Have a good taste and see what you think.

0:04:120:04:15

The great thing about beetroot is it makes your poo red.

0:04:150:04:18

-Adam?

-Hard, sickly. STEFAN LAUGHS

0:04:190:04:23

It's not good. They don't mix. Do not try this at home.

0:04:230:04:26

I think it tastes OK because it's quite soft

0:04:260:04:29

-and doesn't taste at all bad.

-OK.

0:04:290:04:32

Thumbs up or thumbs down for beetroot chips?

0:04:320:04:34

It's about half and half. OK. I'm liking that.

0:04:350:04:38

-What have you got there?

-Lettuce.

-Lettuce chips?

0:04:380:04:40

-ALL: Urgh!

-It's a bit floppy.

0:04:400:04:44

-Oh!

-I think it tastes OK. It's better than normal lettuce

0:04:440:04:48

-and tastes a bit sweeter.

-It's OK for lettuce.

0:04:480:04:52

Lettuce dipped into vinegar. I like vinegar with chips

0:04:520:04:55

-but not with lettuce.

-OK.

-That does not mix.

0:04:550:04:58

Thumbs up or thumbs down to lettuce as chips?

0:04:580:05:02

Ooh, that's kind of a no. OK.

0:05:020:05:04

It's going quite well. Let's lift the blue lid. What's under there?

0:05:040:05:07

Wheat cereal chips.

0:05:070:05:09

What would happen if we deep-fried our breakfast? Would it work?

0:05:090:05:13

-THEY SHOUT

-Let's find out. Looks quite weird.

0:05:130:05:16

-Mm!

-They're good! Tastes like breakfast cereal.

0:05:160:05:20

-But in a chip form.

-Much more greasy.

0:05:200:05:23

I think it's nice because it's breakfast cereal made better

0:05:230:05:26

-with the fat and the grease.

-So the chipping's going well.

0:05:260:05:28

I think it's really nice. It's a bit dry,

0:05:280:05:31

-not very moist, but I think it's nice.

-OK.

0:05:310:05:33

So, does the wheat cereal chip get thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:05:330:05:37

It's a thumbs up! It's a big, fat sponge.

0:05:370:05:41

This is steak chips.

0:05:410:05:44

-ALL: Ohh!

-Normally you have steak and chips. We've cut out the middle man.

0:05:440:05:48

-Would that be good?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Let's find out. What do you reckon?

0:05:480:05:52

Have yourself a steak chip. So this is a chunk of steak

0:05:520:05:56

dipped into hot fat. Bit chewy there, Adam?

0:05:560:05:59

-Tastes like steak, yes.

-Good steak?

-Yes.

0:05:590:06:03

-Is it better because it's a chip?

-Yes.

0:06:030:06:06

-I like it! Ben?

-Chewy but really nice.

0:06:060:06:09

-I think it's nice and soft and nicer than normal steak.

-OK.

0:06:090:06:13

So, steak chips, thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:06:130:06:16

Oh, yes, a winner! So some of these things are working better as chips.

0:06:160:06:19

So, here's the last one. Liver. Who loves liver?

0:06:190:06:24

-ALL: Urgh!

-No-one! This is some of the innards of an animal

0:06:240:06:28

and we're going to try it as chips.

0:06:280:06:31

So, guys, grab a piece of liver each.

0:06:310:06:33

Dig in and see if liver chips work for you.

0:06:330:06:36

Easy to bite, breakable, tasty.

0:06:380:06:43

Well, it's edible, but it's not very nice.

0:06:430:06:46

It tastes like some sort of really bad meat and I really hate it.

0:06:460:06:49

Bit of a split vote. So, chipped liver, thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:06:490:06:52

Hm. I think that didn't win.

0:06:520:06:55

But some of these foods did really well

0:06:550:06:57

considering you'd normally hate them.

0:06:570:07:00

I want to make the most terrifying chips on the planet

0:07:000:07:02

so I'm not going to use a knife, I'm going to use this!

0:07:020:07:05

-ALL: Wow!

-Uh-huh.

0:07:050:07:08

Over there with Angry Dave is the IR3000 potato obliterator mark 2.

0:07:080:07:15

We'll see how it works at the end of the show.

0:07:150:07:17

But give it up for our brilliant chip ticklers!

0:07:170:07:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:190:07:22

Pottering about on a boat on a river.

0:07:250:07:28

What could be more calm and lovely?

0:07:280:07:31

But the reality is, underneath the surface of this water,

0:07:310:07:35

there's a battle going on between the British

0:07:350:07:37

and alien invaders. Oh, yeah.

0:07:370:07:40

I've come here to the River Wey in Surrey to find out all about it.

0:07:400:07:44

'Landscape officer Jim Jones is going to introduce me

0:07:460:07:49

'to a pesky pest from overseas

0:07:490:07:52

'that's muscling out a British beastie.

0:07:520:07:55

'I want to know if eating these invaders

0:07:550:07:57

'could help our home-grown critters survive.

0:07:570:08:00

'But first we need to catch them.'

0:08:000:08:02

So you're saying that this river is crawling with little beasts?

0:08:020:08:06

It is indeed, yes. Right at the bottom here,

0:08:060:08:09

-we're going to hopefully find the signal crayfish.

-Crayfish?

0:08:090:08:13

-And it's a fish or is it a...?

-It's a crustacean,

0:08:130:08:16

so it's related to creatures like the lobster, so big claws.

0:08:160:08:21

In the rivers of England there are mini lobsters?

0:08:210:08:23

So how are we going to get them out?

0:08:230:08:25

Well, we're going to use a crayfish trap, and I've got one here.

0:08:250:08:29

-This is a crayfish trap.

-Specially built for crayfish?

0:08:290:08:32

Specially built to capture these crayfish.

0:08:320:08:34

They'll enter in through one of these holes here

0:08:340:08:37

and once they're in, it's designed in a way that they can't get out.

0:08:370:08:41

What do you use as bait?

0:08:410:08:43

Well, it's a detritivore, so it feeds on dead things

0:08:430:08:46

-that wash down the river.

-A detritivore!

0:08:460:08:48

So basically, it eats rubbish.

0:08:480:08:50

-So what have you got here?

-OK, well, we've got a fish

0:08:500:08:53

which we can cut in half and put in the trap.

0:08:530:08:56

We've got some bacon. They really like bacon.

0:08:560:08:59

-That's really weird.

-It's expensive, so we don't always use that.

0:08:590:09:02

You can actually use cat food,

0:09:020:09:05

tuna fish or something like that.

0:09:050:09:07

So already you can see there's a lot of juice coming out of there

0:09:070:09:11

and once you get that in that trap, in the water,

0:09:110:09:14

-it will drift out on the water...

-And the crayfish will smell it

0:09:140:09:18

-and go, "Oooh!"

-They will indeed.

0:09:180:09:20

And so that pops in the trap, like that.

0:09:200:09:22

-And then it's ready to go in.

-Let's do it.

0:09:220:09:25

Oh, you need a bit of string, as well,

0:09:250:09:27

otherwise you drop it in and go, "Ah!

0:09:270:09:29

"How am I going to get it out?"

0:09:290:09:32

-How long do you leave it for?

-We need to leave it overnight.

0:09:360:09:40

-Crayfish are nocturnal.

-So at night, it's a party down there.

0:09:400:09:44

-It is really.

-DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:440:09:46

'The crayfish like to par-tay,

0:09:460:09:49

'er, I mean, eat, at night.

0:09:490:09:51

'But luckily, Jim laid down a trap for us yesterday.'

0:09:530:09:56

-Yes!

-Oh, yes!

-We have crayfish!

0:09:560:10:00

Oooh!

0:10:000:10:03

-That is ugly!

-JIM LAUGHS

0:10:030:10:06

They flare up. They're quite angry fellas, aren't they?

0:10:060:10:08

They're called signal crayfish cos they've got these little white flags

0:10:080:10:12

-on the inside of their claws.

-Big old claws for a little fella.

0:10:120:10:16

-Fantastic.

-Oh, he's trying to grab me! Ow! Ow! No!

0:10:160:10:21

-JIM LAUGHS

-Ow, ow, ow! Owww!

0:10:210:10:24

Argh!

0:10:240:10:26

They're actually very aggressive animals,

0:10:300:10:32

which is why they do so well in our rivers.

0:10:320:10:35

Are these good things to have in rivers?

0:10:350:10:37

No, these are aliens in our rivers. They're not supposed to be here.

0:10:370:10:41

They were introduced in the 50s and 60s.

0:10:410:10:44

And it's a real problem because they eat our native white-clawed crayfish

0:10:440:10:48

and they are host to a crayfish plague.

0:10:480:10:51

They're a problem species. We're not allowed by law to put them back.

0:10:510:10:55

We have to actually get rid of them.

0:10:550:10:57

'Well, I really want to help,

0:10:570:10:59

'and this being Incredible Edibles,

0:10:590:11:01

'I think we can eat our way out of this problem.'

0:11:010:11:04

There we go. Purged, boiled and ready to eat.

0:11:040:11:08

Ooh, look at that. They've completely changed colour.

0:11:090:11:12

They're now bright, bright orange. Beautiful!

0:11:120:11:15

So they've cooled down really nicely. Then what you need to do

0:11:170:11:19

is break it open, so you pull the back off,

0:11:190:11:23

there we go, little bit of guts in there,

0:11:230:11:25

but in there, as well, is all the meat. That's where the meat is.

0:11:250:11:29

Pull that apart, like that.

0:11:290:11:32

Dip that in a little bit of herby mayonnaise.

0:11:320:11:36

And have a little taste.

0:11:360:11:38

Oh, wow. Oh, wow!

0:11:410:11:43

That is absolutely delicious. It's like eating the finest lobster,

0:11:440:11:49

which costs you a fortune! The brilliant thing is,

0:11:490:11:52

these fellas just come from the rivers around Britain.

0:11:520:11:55

And by eating them, we help our own native British crayfish.

0:11:550:11:58

I reckon cook them and eat them.

0:11:580:12:00

Now, grownups are always banging on about

0:12:050:12:07

breakfast being the most important meal of the day.

0:12:070:12:10

And sometimes they do have a point. Now, I want to try out

0:12:100:12:13

some of the world's great breakfasts.

0:12:130:12:15

But I can't do it on my own. So please give a big hand

0:12:150:12:18

-to Will, Dheeran and Bronny!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:180:12:21

-So, what did you have for breakfast this morning, Will?

-Full English.

0:12:210:12:25

-Like it! Dheeran?

-Toast.

-Bronny?

-Cereal.

0:12:250:12:28

The same sort of stuff. How about pushing it out there a little bit,

0:12:280:12:32

-trying things you've never tried before? You up for it?

-ALL: Yeah.

0:12:320:12:35

So, exotic breakfast number one.

0:12:350:12:40

Dig in there. Looks like somebody's been sick in your omelette,

0:12:400:12:43

in quite a bad way. But what does it taste like?

0:12:430:12:46

-Bronny?

-You would think it'd taste disgusting,

0:12:460:12:49

but it actually tastes like a normal omelette.

0:12:490:12:51

It's quite nice, but the black thing is quite bitter.

0:12:510:12:55

-I love it!

-You love it!

-Yeah, it's good,

0:12:550:12:58

cos you've got a plain taste then you've got the pepper that's sweet.

0:12:580:13:03

There's quite a few different flavours. This is what's in it.

0:13:030:13:07

This is called huitlacoche.

0:13:070:13:10

OK? So absolutely classic Mexican food.

0:13:100:13:14

And underneath there is corn

0:13:140:13:16

but on top is a fungus that grows on the corn.

0:13:160:13:20

If you have a little taste, it's got quite a sour sort of flavour.

0:13:200:13:24

Have a little try.

0:13:240:13:27

It's a bit... I don't know.

0:13:270:13:30

-It's an acquired taste, isn't it?

-Mm.

0:13:300:13:32

-It's quite disgusting.

-Excellent! Let's get another one out.

0:13:320:13:36

So now we've moved from Mexico to Hong Kong.

0:13:360:13:41

And in Hong Kong, this is a classic breakfast.

0:13:410:13:44

-Ha!

-THEY LAUGH

0:13:440:13:47

Grab a spoon each. Can you see what's on here? Crab!

0:13:470:13:50

So who had porridge for breakfast? Who had crab porridge?

0:13:500:13:54

Nobody. Oh, really?

0:13:540:13:56

Well, this is crab porridge.

0:13:560:13:59

Basically, you take a crab,

0:13:590:14:01

you stick it in a load of rice and you boil it for ages.

0:14:010:14:04

Have a little try of that.

0:14:040:14:07

It's quite nice. It tastes like normal rice

0:14:090:14:11

-but it's got a hint of crab.

-Yeah, it's really soft

0:14:110:14:15

and it's really warm, so it makes it even more nice.

0:14:150:14:18

OK. Now we've got the last one. There you go.

0:14:180:14:21

So grab a big spoonful of this green stuff round the edge.

0:14:210:14:25

-Ohh, lovely!

-It's quite spicy.

0:14:250:14:28

-Mm-hm.

-And it's not crunchy, but it's gooey.

0:14:280:14:31

It's quite watery and, like Bronny said, it's quite spicy.

0:14:310:14:36

It is very spicy. It's like a soup almost, really.

0:14:360:14:40

Do you know what? Exactly. It is spicy and it's gooey

0:14:400:14:43

and it's a soup. And it's got this in it,

0:14:430:14:46

which is why it's so lovely and gooey.

0:14:460:14:50

-Do you want to see what one of those is?

-OK.

0:14:500:14:53

Grab one of those. What do you reckon it is?

0:14:540:14:57

-ALL: A pig's leg.

-I think it's a joint or something.

0:14:570:15:00

This is cow's hoof.

0:15:000:15:03

And what you're eating for breakfast is cow's hoof soup.

0:15:030:15:08

And it's a Pakistani classic.

0:15:080:15:10

And when you said it was nice and gooey,

0:15:100:15:12

that's because when you put hooves in,

0:15:120:15:14

you get this wonderful gelatine that comes out of it

0:15:140:15:17

and it makes things taste really lovely and unctuous.

0:15:170:15:19

So, do you think you'd have that in the morning?

0:15:190:15:22

-In the middle of your cereal?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Maybe.

0:15:220:15:25

Not with the middle bit still in.

0:15:250:15:27

It does seem amazing to mess with breakfast,

0:15:270:15:30

but you've gone on an adventure. Guys, you've been brilliant.

0:15:300:15:33

Give them a massive round of applause!

0:15:330:15:36

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:360:15:39

'Still to come, can we turn supersonic spuds into chips?'

0:15:400:15:46

Is this the coolest potato chipper in the world?

0:15:460:15:49

ALL: Yeah!

0:15:490:15:51

'And will street dance star Turbo get the wobbles

0:15:510:15:55

'in Incredible Or Inedible?'

0:15:550:15:58

-This is jellyfish.

-Ohh!

-LAUGHTER

0:15:580:16:02

'But first...' We have three courageous guinea pigs

0:16:040:16:08

who'll be tickling some food that I brought back from my travels

0:16:080:16:10

in my Mystery Meal.

0:16:100:16:13

Are they brilliant or are they bonkers?

0:16:160:16:19

Well, I don't know, but I've locked the door so they can't run away.

0:16:190:16:21

Please give a huge round of applause to Luke, Adam and Celeste!

0:16:210:16:25

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:250:16:28

Are you feeling confident today?

0:16:280:16:30

-Yeah.

-No.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:16:300:16:32

Luke, if I served you your food nightmare, what would it be?

0:16:320:16:35

-Probably fish eyeballs.

-Adam, what's your ultimate food nightmare?

0:16:350:16:42

Kangaroo private parts. LAUGHTER

0:16:420:16:45

I don't think they've defrosted yet, so it won't be that.

0:16:450:16:47

Celeste, what could be your ultimate food nightmare,

0:16:470:16:51

-something that'd make you vomit on the spot?

-Yoghurt and mushed peas.

0:16:510:16:55

OK. We'd better get some tarpaulin out here

0:16:550:16:57

cos it's going to get a lot worse than that. Would you like to see it?

0:16:570:17:00

ALL: Yes!

0:17:000:17:02

Blindfolds on first. Very important to make this as scary as we can. OK.

0:17:020:17:07

-They're going to be eating...

-What is that?

0:17:070:17:10

-..these.

-THEY SHOUT

0:17:100:17:14

-Starfish!

-Starfish?

-Snails!

-Snails?

0:17:140:17:18

-Body parts!

-Well, do you know what?

0:17:180:17:21

It doesn't really matter, cos you don't have to eat it,

0:17:210:17:24

they do! Let's get on with it!

0:17:240:17:26

Now, what's that I hear you cry?

0:17:290:17:31

Why do I love putting people through this agony?

0:17:310:17:34

Good question. Partly, it's just quite funny.

0:17:340:17:37

But also, I'm hoping that once deprived of sensory stimulation,

0:17:370:17:40

these guys should be able to appreciate food

0:17:400:17:43

on a brand new level. And they might discover

0:17:430:17:46

that an ugly food actually tastes fantastic.

0:17:460:17:48

After all, before it's turned into a bar, what does chocolate look like?

0:17:480:17:52

ALL: Poo!

0:17:520:17:54

Poo indeed. So, we haven't got poo, don't worry, it's not poo.

0:17:540:17:57

So, Luke, how are you feeling now?

0:17:570:17:59

-I don't know.

-OK. Adam?

0:17:590:18:01

Worse than I felt before I had this blindfold on.

0:18:010:18:05

-Yeah. Celeste, how you feeling?

-I'm pretty calm, but I don't know.

0:18:050:18:09

OK. Well, before you even try it, I can reveal to you guys at home

0:18:090:18:12

what today's Mystery Meal is. It's these.

0:18:120:18:15

-I'm just going to drop this into your hand. Be careful.

-Is it alive?

0:18:180:18:22

It is, but they shouldn't last very long once they're in your mouth.

0:18:220:18:25

-Are you ready? Here we go.

-Agh!

-LAUGHTER

0:18:250:18:29

-OK, are you ready?

-No. Urgh! LAUGHTER

0:18:290:18:33

-What is this thing?

-Well done.

-Urgh! Feels horrible!

0:18:330:18:37

-I think yours might still be alive.

-Oh, no! Oh! Urgh!

0:18:370:18:42

-It has feet.

-Urgh, it's horrible!

0:18:420:18:45

Agh! LAUGHTER

0:18:450:18:47

-OK, are you ready to eat it?

-No!

-I think I know what it is.

0:18:470:18:51

I'm going to have one with you. I'll have the biggest one. Ready?

0:18:510:18:54

One, two, three, bite it.

0:18:540:18:56

-Urgh, no!

-LAUGHTER

0:18:560:18:59

Oh, my... I don't want to eat it.

0:18:590:19:01

-Celeste, have you tried it?

-Yeah.

-Where's my water?

0:19:010:19:04

-Urgh!

-The water's there. These have been cooked in honey

0:19:040:19:07

so they should be nice and sweet on the top.

0:19:070:19:09

-Yeah, I quite like it.

-It's pretty good.

-It's disgusting.

0:19:090:19:13

I can't tell you what they are yet but I can reveal

0:19:130:19:15

they're a favourite food in Italian cuisine, very popular in France

0:19:150:19:18

where it's combined with luxury foods like sweetbreads and truffles.

0:19:180:19:21

It's also eaten in the East End of London. OK.

0:19:210:19:24

-Would you like to see what it is?

-Yes, please.

-OK.

0:19:240:19:27

-Lift up those blindfolds.

-Urgh!

0:19:270:19:31

-Urgh! What is that?

-What do you think it is?

-Poo.

0:19:310:19:35

-Is it a lizard?

-I think it might be squid.

-A fish.

0:19:350:19:40

-A spiky fish.

-A spiky fish?

-A foot of, like, a lizard.

-OK.

0:19:400:19:45

-Do you want to find out?

-Yes, please.

-You've been eating...

0:19:450:19:48

-Urgh!

-..chicken head flaps.

0:19:490:19:52

I'll never get that taste out of my mouth.

0:19:520:19:55

-If I go like that...

-Oh, it's the wee things on a chicken's head!

0:19:550:19:58

-What about the chin things?

-They're also known as cockscombs.

0:19:580:20:00

-This is one before it's been cooked.

-That looks a bit nicer.

0:20:000:20:04

There you go. Have a look at that.

0:20:040:20:06

-LAUGHTER

-It's exactly that.

0:20:060:20:09

I actually really like them. It's a bit like an ear.

0:20:090:20:12

-Have you ever tasted ear before?

-No.

-Of course they haven't.

0:20:120:20:15

-Now you know what they are, would you try it again?

-Don't think so.

0:20:150:20:19

-I'm out.

-Me, too.

-I quite like it, so yeah.

-Brilliant.

0:20:190:20:22

You guys have been absolutely brilliant.

0:20:220:20:25

Some of the bravest Mystery Mealers I've ever come across.

0:20:250:20:28

Guys, give them a massive round of applause.

0:20:280:20:30

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:300:20:33

Now, listen here! I try to make sure that everything in this show

0:20:370:20:40

is educational and informative. But the next bit, well, it isn't.

0:20:400:20:44

It's time to get a celebrity up on stage and torture them

0:20:440:20:46

to within an inch of their lives in the name of entertainment.

0:20:460:20:49

Yep, it's time for Incredible Or Inedible!

0:20:490:20:53

CHEERING

0:20:530:20:55

Today's guest is brilliant. He's from Alesha's Street Dance Stars,

0:20:550:20:58

-it's Turbo!

-CHEERING

0:20:580:21:02

-Thank you very much for coming on the show.

-No problem.

0:21:020:21:05

It's a commonly held perception that stars like you

0:21:050:21:07

basically eat little slivers of stardust and maybe gold bars

0:21:070:21:11

and truffles brought to you on trays. Do you ever eat normal stuff?

0:21:110:21:14

Yeah, definitely. Chicken and chips now and again, pizza.

0:21:140:21:18

-You're a real person!

-Yep, I'm real.

-That's extraordinary.

0:21:180:21:20

And also, you're a dancer. Can you show us some moves?

0:21:200:21:23

-You want me to show you some moves?

-Yeah.

-You sure?

-Bit scared now.

0:21:230:21:26

-But yeah.

-I'll show you some moves. OK.

0:21:260:21:29

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:290:21:32

Oh, I like that! Now, what's your favourite food?

0:21:360:21:40

Ooh, my favourite food? I love Thai food.

0:21:400:21:42

-Thai food?

-Yeah.

-Nice and spicy?

-Yep.

0:21:420:21:45

-So Asian flavours you like?

-Yep, creamy, coconuts, all that.

0:21:450:21:49

OK. I might have something for you. And what about the worst food?

0:21:490:21:52

-What do you really hate?

-Jellied eels and runny eggs.

0:21:520:21:55

-Ooh, no.

-Jelly things generally?

-Uh-uh. Can't do it.

-OK.

0:21:550:21:59

Come over here and I'll show you how the game works.

0:21:590:22:02

We get three dishes, you get to try them,

0:22:020:22:05

and then I tell you what it is.

0:22:050:22:07

You decide then whether or not you find it

0:22:070:22:09

incredible, inedible or somewhere in between.

0:22:090:22:12

Over there are some of the things we've tried in the past.

0:22:120:22:14

Lamb's testicles, tripe,

0:22:140:22:16

lamb brains, which I thought were quite nice, others weren't so sure.

0:22:160:22:20

That's the zone we're in. Does that make you feel good or bad?

0:22:200:22:22

-I'm not sure. Huh?

-Let's get on with this!

0:22:220:22:26

-Please, big round of applause for dish number one!

-# Bring the action

0:22:260:22:30

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much. OK.

0:22:300:22:32

Here we go. We're going to start you nice and easily.

0:22:320:22:35

You grab one of those. Go on, tuck in. In you go.

0:22:350:22:39

Hey! Top man! These are very simple. They're potato doughnuts.

0:22:390:22:43

So they're normal doughnuts but they're made with potato flour

0:22:430:22:46

instead of normal wheat flour.

0:22:460:22:49

-What do they taste like?

-HE LAUGHS

0:22:490:22:52

-LAUGHTER

-It's sweet

0:22:520:22:54

and it has that potato texture to it.

0:22:540:22:57

-So a bit different from normal ones.

-Yeah.

-It's your decision.

0:22:570:23:00

Is it incredible, inedible or somewhere in between?

0:23:000:23:03

THEY SHOUT

0:23:030:23:07

-Incredible!

-THEY CHEER

0:23:080:23:10

Excellent news. OK. Let's bring on dish number two!

0:23:100:23:13

-Big round of applause!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:130:23:16

-You've done very well so far.

-Cool.

0:23:170:23:19

Time to get a bit more challenging. Dish number two is this.

0:23:190:23:23

-Are you a chopstick kind of guy?

-Yeah.

0:23:240:23:27

-Shall I have a little try with you?

-Yeah, you go.

0:23:270:23:29

-HE LAUGHS

-You do it first.

0:23:290:23:32

-A-ha-ha!

-Oh, that's too much.

-Oh.

0:23:320:23:35

-Top man.

-LAUGHTER

0:23:380:23:40

-Wriggles as it goes down, doesn't it? This is jellyfish.

-Oh!

0:23:400:23:46

-LAUGHTER

-Oh!

0:23:460:23:49

-Ooooh!

-Stings a bit, doesn't it?

0:23:490:23:52

-Oooh!

-LAUGHTER

0:23:520:23:54

This is a Chinese delicacy. It's cured for a little while,

0:23:540:23:57

it's dried out and then it's rehydrated

0:23:570:24:00

and it's got a really, really slimy texture.

0:24:000:24:04

It doesn't really have any taste of its own.

0:24:040:24:07

You add taste to it. So we got a lovely Thai flavour for you

0:24:070:24:11

specially cos we knew you liked Thai food.

0:24:110:24:13

That looks like it's about to come back up again!

0:24:130:24:16

Is it incredible, inedible or somewhere in between?

0:24:160:24:18

THEY SHOUT

0:24:180:24:21

Inedible!

0:24:230:24:25

You're nearly there. We always save the best till last, though. Ready?

0:24:250:24:30

-No.

-Bring on dish number three!

0:24:300:24:33

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:330:24:36

Thank you very much. This is fantastic stuff.

0:24:360:24:40

-Do you want to have a little look?

-ALL: Yes!

-Here we go.

0:24:400:24:43

-ALL: Urgh!

-Is it poo soup?

0:24:430:24:46

-TURBO LAUGHS

-That's actually quite close.

0:24:460:24:50

Horse's blood. Poo soup. OK.

0:24:500:24:53

-TURBO LAUGHS

-In you get and have a little try.

0:24:530:24:58

-Mm-mm!

-Oh, no, a small piece.

0:24:580:25:00

-Mm!

-Five, six, seven, eight.

-In you pop.

0:25:000:25:03

He's very good. Now, this is a dish

0:25:030:25:06

made with potato. It's a potato soup.

0:25:060:25:09

Except this is potato soup made with... blood.

0:25:090:25:13

LAUGHTER

0:25:130:25:17

That, my friends, is duck blood.

0:25:170:25:21

-LAUGHTER

-It's duck blood and it's called

0:25:210:25:24

czernina. It's a dish that's very popular in Poland.

0:25:240:25:27

We use blood in quite a few dishes of our own.

0:25:270:25:30

Black pudding, things like that. So, blood soup.

0:25:300:25:34

-It's gravy.

-Think of it as gravy.

0:25:340:25:37

Get in the zone. And then you need to decide...

0:25:370:25:41

What do you reckon? Would you eat blood soup?

0:25:410:25:44

-THEY SHOUT

-Quite a few yeses!

0:25:440:25:47

-Quite a few yeses!

-No!

0:25:470:25:49

There's a big no!

0:25:490:25:51

Turbo, it's your decision.

0:25:510:25:55

THEY SHOUT

0:25:570:25:59

In between! Guys, give him a massive round of applause!

0:26:040:26:08

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:080:26:12

-So, are potatoes brilliant?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Oh, yeah!

0:26:170:26:21

And the most awesome form of the potato is the chip.

0:26:210:26:25

Now, making chips can be dead simple,

0:26:250:26:27

but this is Incredible Edibles, so I wondered how we could make it

0:26:270:26:30

enormously complicated and massive spectacular.

0:26:300:26:33

So we've made this. This is the IE3000,

0:26:330:26:38

the potato obliterator mark 2!

0:26:380:26:41

It's a bowling machine used by cricketers for batting practice.

0:26:410:26:44

-Do you want to see how it works?

-ALL: Yeah!

-OK!

0:26:440:26:47

I've got Turbo here to help me. You're going to protect me.

0:26:470:26:50

-I'm going to protect me, yes.

-STEFAN LAUGHS

0:26:500:26:54

What we do is, we drop a cricket ball in

0:26:540:26:56

and hopefully it flies out of here quite fast.

0:26:560:26:59

Whoa!

0:27:050:27:07

This goes out at 100 miles an hour,

0:27:070:27:09

so I thought, if we can fire a potato,

0:27:090:27:12

maybe we can use that speed to chip it. So, bring on the chipper!

0:27:120:27:16

-APPLAUSE

-This is Angry Dave.

0:27:160:27:21

He's been making the chipper. It's made him even more angry.

0:27:210:27:24

Dave, are you very angry today? Yeah, really angry. OK.

0:27:240:27:28

Whoa!

0:27:340:27:36

Ooh! Ooh!

0:27:360:27:40

Oh! Ooh! Oh!

0:27:400:27:43

-Have we got chips?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:27:430:27:46

Is this the coolest potato chipper in the world?

0:27:460:27:49

-ALL: Yeah!

-Oh, of course it is!

0:27:490:27:52

Thank you so much to Turbo, to our fantastic volunteers,

0:27:520:27:57

our brilliant studio audience and to you guys for watching at home.

0:27:570:28:00

Join us next time for more Incredible Edibles! Whoo-hoo!
