0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm Stefan Gates, and I'm a food adventurer, which means I've
0:00:04 > 0:00:09eaten the scariest, the wriggliest and the hairiest foods on Earth.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11And now I'm going to serve them to you,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15because this is Incredible Edibles: Gutbusters!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERING
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Welcome to the show. Today, Gutbusters HQ has been overrun
0:00:43 > 0:00:45by a gang of marauding foodheads.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Let's get to know them. Audience, what's your name?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50ALL: Foodhead!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Got it?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Of course this mayhem would be wasted without you lot
0:00:55 > 0:00:58watching at home, so here's what we've got coming up for you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04'On today's medieval-themed special,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'we eat like peasants...'
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- What does it taste like?- Disgusting.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11This is what you've been eating.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13'..and eat up pheasants.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Any idea what this is? It's a very beautiful bird.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21'And three brave volunteers get to grips
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'with a Middle Ages mystery meal.'
0:01:24 > 0:01:26ALL CHANT: Eat it! Eat it!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34If you want to get down with the medievals, the first stop is
0:01:34 > 0:01:38peasants, poor people, which was pretty much everyone.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Life for peasants was rubbish.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44To find out, I'm joined by three members of the great unwashed.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Please give a big hand to Joel, Enfys and Shyon!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50CHEERING
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Here is what they'd eat.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It's bread.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Rip up that bread and get into it
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and look at what sort of bread you've got there.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- It looks tough and gooey. - It is tough and gooey.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09This is very different to the sort of stuff we eat today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14What we eat today is made out of wheat. This is made out of rye.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Wheat was quite expensive back then because it needed
0:02:17 > 0:02:20good-quality land, which all belonged to the rich people.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So the peasants could only really grow rye
0:02:22 > 0:02:25because rye grows very well on bad land, OK?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Pass that big chunk, Shyon.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31The peasants would eat that much bread in one day.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36That's about 2.5 kilos of bread. It's masses.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38It's fine, though, cos they had a little bit of this.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What do you reckon that is?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- Butter?- Not quite butter.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I don't think it's butter, I think it's pig fat.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It's pig fat. This is lard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51It's not that good for you, but it had lots of calories in it
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and the peasants would work really hard in the fields
0:02:54 > 0:02:56and would need a huge amount of energy.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Dig in, tell me what it's like.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- It's nice.- Tastes like butter. - I think it's time for lunch.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK, Enfys, lift that red lid.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10See what's under there. What have you got for lunch?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11- More bread.- More bread.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14But it's fine because you had something nice to go with it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That is the amount of cheese that one person would have
0:03:19 > 0:03:21had for the entire day.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23You'd only have half an ounce.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- It's basically bread, bread, bread, with something else.- Yeah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Would you get bored of a diet like this every day?- Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33That's fine, because for dinner - Shyon, lift that orange lid...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- More bread.- ..you'd have...
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Ah-ha! Sometimes you could move on from bread and you'd have this.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- What do you reckon you've got there? - Mushy beans.- Mushy beans?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45You'd have these.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51The one thing they had masses of back then was root vegetables.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54This is a turnip. Grab yourselves a spoon,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57dig in and taste some pottage.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Pottage was basically porridgey stew made from anything you could
0:04:02 > 0:04:04lay your hands on. What does it taste like?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- It's really wet and sloppy as well. - It's absolutely disgusting.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- No, it's really nice.- It's nice!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Shyon, keeping it real.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Now, from all of this food up here,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17compared to the sorts of food that you eat now, what's missing?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- Chips.- Chips.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Flavour.- Anything else?- Chicken. - Where does flavour come from?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Chicken... What is chicken?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- An animal?- An animal. There's no meat here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Sometimes the peasants could get their hands on some meat.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Do you want to have a look at it? - Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, let's clear all this up and we'll have a look.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40One of the only ways that peasants could get their hands on meat
0:04:40 > 0:04:44was to go poaching for wild animals on rich people's lands.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47It was highly illegal, and if you got caught you ran
0:04:47 > 0:04:49the risk of getting your hand cut off as punishment.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55Do you want to see one of the animals that they killed? Yeah?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Shyon, lift that lid.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Grab yourself a nice chunk of that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- That's it.- That is delicious.- Is it? What does it taste of?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Steak.- Steak? Hm, it is kind of steaky.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Chewy.- Chewy. Yeah. Would you like to see the animal it came from?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Yes, please.- OK.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Now, we're about to see a whole dead animal.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19If this makes you feel a bit squeamish, now's the time to
0:05:19 > 0:05:22go into another room and make some medieval fairy cakes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Ready for this, guys? OK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What you're eating there is...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30this.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32ALL: Eurgh!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So...put your hand out.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Put your hands out.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's looking at me. That's scary!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Does it feel strange to be touching a dead animal like that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Hmmm...sort of. - It's a bit weird, isn't it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Yeah, quite!- Do you guys eat meat? - ALL: Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Do you think it's worth the effort to try and go poaching to get
0:05:58 > 0:06:01some meat if all you normally have is bread and pottage?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Yeah.- Yeah.- No.- You reckon no? - Actually, yes.- Enfys reckons yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Joel, you reckon yes. Well, that's absolutely brilliant.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Guys, give our fantastic medieval taste-testers a huge
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- round of applause. - CHEERING
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I've always wondered what it would be like to be
0:06:27 > 0:06:30shipwrecked on a desert island with not a supermarket in sight.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33How would I be able to survive? I love food.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Could I just live off what the land can offer?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, I've come to the west coast of Scotland to meet somebody who
0:06:39 > 0:06:41can hopefully show me the way.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43To show me how to live off the land,
0:06:43 > 0:06:48I've met up with food-foraging expert, Mark Williams.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So what's the key? What do you need to know?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, you need to know which things are safe to eat,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57because there are some things out there that aren't very good for you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01If we go in there, we see grasses and things,
0:07:01 > 0:07:06but if we look really carefully, look at these little round leaves here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- So this is called scurvy grass. MIMICS PIRATE:- Scurvy grass! Arrr!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- It's pirate food!- It is!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And the pirates would have come ashore to collect this, because
0:07:15 > 0:07:19it's got lots of vitamin C and it stopped them from getting scurvy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Have a taste, see what you think.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Oh, it's got a... Oh, wow! That's really weird. It's sweet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28There's a sweetness.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I've never come across anything like that in my life.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Sensational flavour, isn't it?- So you could put this in a salad and...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You could put it in a salad or you could make sauces with it...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- And the main thing is you can it scurvy grass!- Arrr!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And now we're here down at the beach. What are we going to find?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47This is where the shellfish live
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and you can see the rocks here are covered with mussels.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52And they like to be covered by the sea
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and then the tide washes down again.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57They're sieving the seawater when they get covered
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and they're taking all the food that they need out of the water.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02But they also catch a few icky things as well at the same time,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05so you have to be really careful if you are going to eat them,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07make sure they're thoroughly cooked.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's good to put them in some salty water for a while first,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13so they can purge out any impurities that they've got in them.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Aha!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Now, this green stuff that looks like somebody's intestines,
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- slimy intestines, this is called gutweed.- Gutweed! Eurrrgh!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Somewhere between snot and gut.- Nice!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Which is why it's all been left here for us
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- instead of anyone else taking it. - Indeed.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35So what we're going to do with this is fry these and get them all crispy.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38But the seaside's not the only place you can discover edible
0:08:38 > 0:08:40eats in the wild.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So the other classic bit of foraging, really,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45is mushrooming, isn't it?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49There's all sorts of fungus and things growing in the woods.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53And some of them will do you a lot of harm, but some of them,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55if you know what you are doing, are good to eat.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Look at this stump, this has been cut or blown down a long time ago.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Falling apart. - Yeah it's rotting apart
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and the thing that is making it rot apart is fungus.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09And it makes this, which is like a fungus which grows off the side.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Some mushrooms can kill.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Only eat a wild mushroom if an expert says it is safe.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- What is this called? - It's called hen of the woods.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- And this is edible?- It is.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Yeah, this is an edible one. And what's really distinctive about it,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25if you take a little piece of it, this has lots of tiny little holes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Like cells, isn't it? - Yeah, little cells.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30So that's very distinctive as well.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33What size?! Isn't that magnificent?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Better get that in your basket.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And after a hard morning foraging for lunch,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44there's only one thing for Mark and I to do. Cook it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45OK, so which do you want to do?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I wouldn't mind tucking in to the big fella over there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- OK, you do the...- I want to see what's inside that.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53..hen of the woods, I'll get on with these guys.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Wow, look at that!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59As soon as Mark gets the gut weed rinsed off,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02it's time to get everything in the pan.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh! It smells so good!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09'And with the mussels and herbs boiling away,
0:10:09 > 0:10:14'there's just time to fry up the gut weed before adding it
0:10:14 > 0:10:19'to our locally foraged dish with a final sprinkling of scurvy grass.'
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- OK.- Well, let's see what it's like.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Mmm! Oh, that's good. - The mussels are delicious.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Everything here tastes absolutely amazing because it's free!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32We have been out in a beautiful countryside,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36come home with lunch, and can there be anything better than that?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37I don't think so.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Now, today we are getting hip to the medieval beat.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Now it's time to see what the upper crust had on their table.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49To help me out, I have three feudal overlords
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and they are Rowan, Tom, and Raynel.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Raynel, take that big red lid off
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and let's look at what you get to eat.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Oh, yeah! What have you got there?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- Meat.- Meat!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Right at the top level of society,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11they would have 1.5 kilos of meat every single day.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Could you eat that much?- No! - That's a huge amount of meat.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- What do you reckon, Tom?- No. - All a bit too much.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Well, let's have a look at the actual meat that they ate.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25So, Tom, blue lid. Lift that off and pass it to me. Oh!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- What have you got there?- Turkey. - Turkey, that's a very good answer.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- What do you reckon, Rowan?- Venison? - Venison! Brilliant!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37That is fantastic. Grab your forks and have a little bit and tell me
0:11:37 > 0:11:40what venison tastes like. Guys, do you know what venison is?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- AUDIENCE: Yeah.- Yeah? What does it come from?- Deer!- Deer.
0:11:42 > 0:11:50- It comes from deer. So, Tom, what does it taste like?- Chewy.- Raynel?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- What do you reckon? - It tastes really herby.- Herby, yeah.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But basically, only the rich could afford it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So, you guys were sitting pretty.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01All of the poor would be outside going, "I want some meat!"
0:12:01 > 0:12:07OK. Rowan, next one. Yellow lid, lift that up. Aha!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Let's have a look at what you have got here.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13What do you reckon that is, guys? Chicken!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Well, grab your forks and dig in there. Have a little piece of that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22I want you to tell me what you think it is. So, Tom?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Minging. That's disgusting. - It's a minging bird.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It's the famous minging bird of medieval times.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now, this is what you have been eating.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34AUDIENCE: Ugh!
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Put your hands out, Raynel. There you go.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43What do you think that is?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- A Vulcan?- A Vulcan?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Any ideas what it is? It's a very beautiful bird.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- No idea.- No idea?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Is it a type of eagle?- Is it a type of eagle? That is a great answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's not an eagle. Let's see what these guys out here think of it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04What do you reckon, guys?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08What do you reckon, guys?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10THEY SQUEAL
0:13:10 > 0:13:12What do you reckon that is?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- A bird?- It is a bird, she's brilliant! OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22This is a pheasant.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And pheasants were brought into Britain
0:13:25 > 0:13:28so that people could hunt them. Tom, you're a noble.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Would you go and do that? - No, I'd make my servants do it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Brilliant answer! Rowan, what about hunting for you?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I think I'd feel really guilty if I killed a bird, like, myself.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Rowan, are you a chicken-eater? - Yeah, I eat chicken.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47What happens to the chicken before it gets to your table?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Killed. It's killed.- Somebody kills it. So it happens on some level.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It does seem a little bit weird to do it for fun, doesn't it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Now there is still a big treat to come,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59but before we do it, let's go and wash our hands.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Now, there was nothing that medieval poshers liked more
0:14:03 > 0:14:07than having a feast of roast swan, baked dolphin, whole peacock,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11and stuff like that. I want us to have a small taste of that.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15So here is one very special dish for us to try.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Peasants, bring us our supper!
0:14:24 > 0:14:28OK. Thank you very much, peasants. Go away!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Here we go.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- What do you reckon that is? - A pig's head.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- It is a whole pig's head. See that?- It looks a bit weird.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- It does look a bit weird. Does it look a little bit gruesome?- Yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47But the real rich people would have taken something like this,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52which is a whole pig's head, with the skin cut off it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54So there is no bone inside there and inside,
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- it has been stuffed full of meat. Shall we go in from the nose?- Yeah.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01OK. So we get through the nose there.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Down through the lips.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12That looks amazing.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Right, who is willing to get a bit more adventurous?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Rowan, you put your hand up there? OK, what we are going to do is...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30..some of these bits are special treats.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35There is a crispy ear for you. Have a little taste of that.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Put the whole thing in. Bite it straight off the ear.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45- It tastes like crust of bread. - Really? And now, Raynel's turn.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48A little bit of nose?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You star. OK, there we go.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53A little bit of nose.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Have a little chew on that and see what you think.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Top man.- Tastes like sausage. - Tastes like sausage.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I guess it is, it's pork, isn't it? And is it nice? Excellent.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12Now, I think a little bit of lip. OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15There you go. There you go, Tom. Have a try of that.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's quite strange to be eating these things, isn't it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What do you reckon, Tom?- A bit tasteless.- A little bit tasteless.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30You're not so keen on that bit? Less of the lip. What you reckon, Rowan?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Would you eat pig's head again? - I think I would. It's quite nice.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37You are absolutely brilliant. Give them a massive round of applause.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45We've gone back in time to the Middle Ages.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Later on, Annette Badland from Wizards vs Aliens gets up close
0:16:49 > 0:16:52to a Dark Ages dish.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's pig's stomach.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02But first, three fearless food heads try out a mediaeval mystery meal.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10All right, party people. Look here, I'm a food adventure.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I've eaten ant eggs.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19I've eaten sheep's eyeballs.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I've even eaten courgettes!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Aha, oh yes. Believe.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26But it's time to share my pain.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So what's the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Guinea pig. - Guinea pig, wow.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Fish eyes.- Fish eyes! What do they taste like? Fish?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Yeah.- Fish, but a bit eyeball-y. What about anyone at the back here?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40What's the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Duck tongue.- Duck tongue? They are a real Chinese delicacy, aren't they?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That's all fantastic. Look, they are all brilliant answers.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Today, we have three food head guinea pigs who will be
0:17:50 > 0:17:54tickling some time-travelling food in my medieval mystery meal.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Are they brilliant or are they bonkers? We will soon find out.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Please give a round of applause to Elena, Shyon and Joel!
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Elena, what would be the scariest thing I could serve you?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Er...raisins.- Raisins? It's going to get worse than that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Shyon, if you went into the depths of food nightmares,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- what could I serve you? - Probably squid.- Squid.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Squid is the bad stuff. Joel?- Fried human's head.- Fried human's head?
0:18:25 > 0:18:32Excellent. Well, now is the time to put your blindfolds on.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's all funny up until now.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Stand by for this.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'm going to show you what it is that they are going to be eating.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Now, there are pies, and there are pies.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51This one...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56looks like this.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Now, you've got to remember that not all pies have dead things inside.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06Sometimes, they are alive. What do you reckon could be underneath that?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Mice?- What do you reckon? Mice? It might be stranger than mice.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Cockroaches?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Spiders?- Spiders? Mice? Cockroaches? Maggots?
0:19:16 > 0:19:22The thing is, you don't have to eat it! They do! Let's get on with it!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24OK.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Now. I can reveal to you at home what today's mystery meal is.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's this.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- OK. Have you ever heard of pies with live creatures inside them?- Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- You have? Would you like to try one?- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Put your hands out in front of you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53When you get it, squeeze really hard and that should kill it. Ready?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55SHE SCREAMS
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Her legs are kicking really hard. Like this.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- So, Shyon, put your hands out in front of you, like this.- No.- OK.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07HE SQUEALS
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- It tickles!- OK. Give it a little squeeze.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14If anyone vomits, that's fine.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Because I've got the barf bucket at this end. Joel, are you ready?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Aargh!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- What the heck...?! - I think the drop actually killed it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- So that should be fine.- Good.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Now, I can't say what it is,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30but I can tell you that the Lord of the Manor in medieval times
0:20:30 > 0:20:33thought that the ingredients weren't good enough for his family to eat.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So they were given to the peasants instead.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39And they made a pie out of it. Are you ready, guys? Eat it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Elena, have you done it? - Yeah?- It's quite tasty.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Elena has got the whole lot in there.- I can't do it, I can't do it!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Elena likes it.- I can't do it! - Go on, Shyon.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Eat it! Eat it!
0:20:53 > 0:20:59AUDIENCE: Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- Ho-ho! It went in and came straight back out again.- Oh!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- That tastes like chicken!- If it makes you happier, it's not alive.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- It's just meat.- Oh.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19What does it taste like?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23It tastes a bit like pork and beef but put together into one?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Pork and beef together? Brilliant description. OK, Shyon?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- It's chicken-y, lamb-y.- Chicken-y, lamb-y?- Like really squishy lamb.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Squishy lamb? Well, guys, let's take off your blindfolds.
0:21:34 > 0:21:41This is what you were eating. It's a pie made of venison. It's called...
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Does that fill you in any more? - No.- Not really?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Well, I'll show you what it's made of. Are you ready for this?- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59No!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Oh! Oh!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Do you want to hold it? - Yes, I really do.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Well done. Brilliant. OK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Shyon? Do you want to try holding that?
0:22:19 > 0:22:25Brilliant. It's really harmless, isn't it? Very good. OK, Joel?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- Oh, yes. Top man. Fantastic. - That feels awesome.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Well done, OK, pop it down there. Any idea what this is?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- The tube, the spine...- Nearly, it's a tube, that's brilliant, but...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Is it that thing that makes you breathe?- It's the oesophagus.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's the tube that goes from your neck down to your stomach.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Then, this is the heart,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48can you see that heart?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- Any idea what these are?- Lungs.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55They're lungs, brilliant. Those are the lungs.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56What about this big fellow
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- down here?- Liver.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The liver. Fantastic.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04These are the internal organs of a deer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So all of these lots were called the umbles,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10and they were given to the poor to make a pie out of.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- And they called it umble pie. Is that quite strange?- Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Big question is, now that you know what it is, does it make you
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- think any differently about eating the pie?- Only preparing it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- I'd probably eat it.- Yes? Joel? - I would eat it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- Guys, have they been brave? - AUDIENCE: Yeah!- So brave.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35Give them a massive round of applause. You guys are so cool.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now, everything in the show so far
0:23:41 > 0:23:45has been about making you a better, cleverer, healthier person.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The next bit isn't.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's time to get a celebrity on stage
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and make them cry innocent, salty tears of fear.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Yes, it's time for Incredible Or Inedible.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So let's meet today's celeb.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04It's star of CBBC's Wizards vs Aliens, it's Annette Badland.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Hello!- Very, very good to meet you, madam. How are you?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- It's awfully nice to meet you. I'm terrified!- You should be!
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Now, come over here. Let me explain to you what is going to happen.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We are going to bring you three different medieval dishes.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Then you get to decide and place on the board of whether you
0:24:21 > 0:24:25think that dish is incredible, inedible, or somewhere in between.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Let's give a big round of applause to dish number one.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Thank you very, very much. OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Oh...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40So, dig into that and I will explain to you what they are.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43These are flowers. And this is a flower salad.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46They ate lots of things like this, containing all manner of petals.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Now, what's the flavour like?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Very mild.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Does it taste flowery?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Not really, not of perfume,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57it's more like a vegetable.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59More like a green vegetable.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01OK. Well, here is your sign.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04You get to decide whether or not violet salad is inedible,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07incredible, or somewhere in between. Are you ready?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12I-I-I-
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Incredible! Fantastic.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Big round of applause there for this number two.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Thank you very much. OK, it gets a little bit different now.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24There you go.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30Dig in there and I will explain what it is. This is liver and tripe soup.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Do you know what tripe is?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Anyone know what tripe is?
0:25:34 > 0:25:40It is pig's stomach. 700 years ago, this was a great delicacy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- Have you had tripe before?- No, I haven't. I have always avoided it!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- And you had done so well! Until today.- Until today.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- What do you think? - It's a little bit chewy,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53but I thought it would be really rubbery.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And it isn't, at all. It just melts away.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59So it's your decision, is tripe soup incredible, inedible,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00or somewhere in between.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06I-I-I-I-I-
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Incredible! Yes!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You're absolutely brilliant. OK.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14A big round of applause for dish number three.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Thank you very, very much.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- These are pig's trotters.- It's not pudding, is it?- It's not pudding.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26OK, you need a big, sharp knife, there.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Are you pretty good with a knife? - Not really.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29OK, let me get into that for you.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So, I'm getting at a little slice off there.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Have a try of that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Do you reckon there's a lot of meat on a pig's trotter?- No.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41No, there's very little meat on a pig's trotter. What's it like?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43It's all very chewy with just a little,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46little bit of pork in the middle.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48What you think about this dish?
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Is it incredible, inedible, or somewhere in between?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I-I-I-I-I-
0:26:59 > 0:27:03In between! Guys, give Annette Badland a massive round of applause.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Thank you, thank you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14There's a game that you might have played at birthday parties
0:27:14 > 0:27:17but was also played in medieval times. It's called pinata.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Now this is our pinata. Here we are. It's up here.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's full of medieval sweets.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26So I need some warriors,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29filled with righteous indignation to beat the heck out of it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33And what I have over here are the toffs and the peasants.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Approach the pinata.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38OK.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43The trick is to wallop the pinata until the sweets come falling out.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Lift up your pinata basher.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Are you ready? Whack it! Go for it, guys. Whack it!
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- AUDIENCE: Whack it!- They're coming out now! Whack it, Tom!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Go on, whack it!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58That's all we've got time for.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Thank you so much to Annette, to our brilliant volunteers
0:28:01 > 0:28:03and of course, our fantastic studio audience
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and you guys watching at home.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Join us next time for more Incredible Edibles!
