I've had years of practice doing barmy food experiments | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
but you should not try anything you see on Incredible Edibles, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
especially if it involves knives, matches, raw meat, ovens, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
unicorns or windmills. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
If you don't like blood, guts, gore and entrails | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
then close your eyes for half an hour | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
-and think about fluffy pink kittens instead. -MEOW | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
I'm Stefan Gates and I'm a food adventurer. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
I've been searching for the best, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
the worst and the smelliest food on Earth, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
and now I'm going to serve it to you, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
because this is Incredible Edibles. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Guys, are you up for an adventure? | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
ALL: Yeah! | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Today, I'm in Harthill in North Lanarkshire, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
home to some of the best grub on the planet. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Guys, are you hungry? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Well, you'd better leave your table manners at the door | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
cos this is going to get messy. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Coming up... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
A look at what's in haggis leaves us breathless. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-Lungs. -Lungs! | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Our food adventurers go nuts for today's mystery meal... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-It tastes like chicken. -Like chicken? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
And can we put a rubbish-powered rocket into orbit? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
ALL: Woo-hoo! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Here, on Incredible Edibles, I like to start every show | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
by doing something absolutely extraordinary, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
something so cool that it'll make you shout! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
ALL: That's incredible! | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Yeah. Now, guys, anyone know what this is? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
ALL: Food. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
It's a lot of mucky food, isn't it? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
It's actually a food recycling box. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
Have a little look in here. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
You've got a corn cob, for you. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
There's some, I don't know what that is, a bit of old squash. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
That's a nice present, isn't it? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
There's some, oh, some bits of carrot peelings. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
What do you reckon you can do with waste food? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Recycle. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
-Yeah, and after that, what can you do with it? -Eat it. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
You might get a little bit sick from eating that. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Just as you can use food to fuel your bodies, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
you can also use it to fuel cars and even rockets. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
It's pretty cool. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
Foods which have loads of starch, especially stuff like this, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
corn, potatoes, bit of old stale bread, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
it can all be broken down and turned into a high power, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
concentrated liquid called a biofuel. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Do you want to see what sort of power that fuel can generate? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
OK. You stay there, this could be dangerous. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Pop that there. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Now, this stuff is quite literally explosive, so stay well back. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
If you're thinking of trying this at home, DO NOT, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
it really is very, very dangerous. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
What I've got is a small drinking water bottle | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
and this is a fuel that can be made from waste food. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
So, I'll put a little bit into my bottle. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Now, cos we don't need a lot of it, we just want to coat the bottle | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
and I'm going to tip the excess out into my bucket of water. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
There's just a little bit of vapour inside there. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
And then, a little match into the end here... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
I'm going to light this and stand well back. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
All fuels can be dangerous | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
and even more so when you have a naked flame near them, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
so don't even think about trying to light this yourself. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Now, are you ready? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
ALL: Whoa! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
That was really cool, wasn't it? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
ALL: Yeah. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
Starch for making this fuel is in all sorts of food, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
like corn and wheat, potato skins and rice. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
If you didn't recycle your waste food, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
it would end up on the rubbish dump, but if you recycle it, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
it can be turned into something useful like a biofuel. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Do you think it's good to use these things as a fuel instead? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
It's pretty good isn't it? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
Well, biofuels are now powering buses and cars and even rockets. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
I'm wondering, if we scale up our bottle | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
and the amount of fuel that I put in it, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
do you reckon we can do something really cool with this idea? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Let's see what we need to use. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-Kayleigh, what have you got there? -A bottle. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
That's a pretty big bottle. A two-litre bottle. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
What do you reckon, guys, is that pretty cool? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
It's pretty good, but Lewis has got something even bigger. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
What do you reckon to that one? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
That's five litre capacity, so if we shot that, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
that might go up in the air. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
But I wonder if we can go even bigger. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Erin, what have you got there? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Oh, yeah! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Guys, shall we use this one? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
It should work, in theory. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Whether it works in practice, you'll just have to find out later on. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Today, I've taken a trip to the countryside in Hampshire | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
to follow the journey from animal to meat. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
We've all seen meat beautifully packaged | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
and ready to be sold in the shops, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
but how do animals actually get slaughtered? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Well, I've been invited to visit an abattoir to find out exactly | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
what happens between when the animals leave the field | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
and when they end up as meat on our plates. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
'Maurice, the Meat Manager, is here to show me | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
'how the abattoir at this farm works.' | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
I've got to ask this and I'm sure everyone asks you this all the time, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
but they're beautiful. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
They're beautiful, they're cute and they're about to die. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
How does it make you feel? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
From my point of view, it's all about doing the best possible job | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
we can for the animals. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
So I take pride in making sure they're relaxed, | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
I take pride in making sure that the meat in the chillers | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
is the best possible standard we can achieve here. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
So for me, it's about doing the best we can at all times for the animal. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
So once the animals have been kept in these pens and they're calm | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
and they're ready to be slaughtered, what happens? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
The next step of the process, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
we take them from the pens to the stunning area, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
where they're stunned | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
and remain unconscious prior to slaughter. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-OK, round this way? -Absolutely. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
This gate closes behind them. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Mmhm. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
We've got two slaughter men in here. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
They will use this piece of equipment. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
And what is this? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
These are stunning tongs. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
Basically, it electrocutes them | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
and renders them senseless to pain. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
So they're instantaneously unconscious | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
and then from here into the abattoir. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
And after it's gone through the doors, what happens? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
One of my slaughter men will cut the throat of the animal | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
and it will die by loss of blood. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
We will remove the feet, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
skin and it eventually will end up | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
as a carcass in our chiller. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
'With a quick change into some protective overalls, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
'we went down to the chiller to take a look.' | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
What we've got here, Stef, is one of our pigs, taken all the insides out. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
All the organs, all the intestines are now ready to be chopped up | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
into different cuts of pork. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-It sort of feels like meat now, rather than an animal. -Absolutely. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
'The pork carcass is now ready for Simon, the Butcher, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
'to turn into tasty cuts of meat.' | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Where do you start? | 0:06:57 | 0:06:58 | |
I'm going to start from the head end and take the head off. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
And what we do is we take the shoulder off first. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Next I'm going to take the leg off. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
And this is what you get your streaky bacon from. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Or you can cut it into some nice loin steaks, | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
sausages, burgers, you can make them | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
to suit your own flavour of what you like. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
You mix up the meat and the fat together | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
with some herbs and some flavourings. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Yeah, with some salt, some peppers, | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
this has got fresh leek in it. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
The casings are from the pigs, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
so that's your intestines which haven't gone to waste. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
So that's the journey your meat takes from being an animal | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
out in the field to being the kind of meat that ends up on your plate. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
If you enjoy burgers, you enjoy your sausages, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
you like bacon and lamb chops and pork chops, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
I just think that you need to know everything | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
that happens about how they're raised, how they're slaughtered, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
you need to show the animal the utmost respect before you tuck in. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
I'm in Scotland, which is famous for its shortbread, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
great beef and wild meat from animals like deer. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
But there's another local delicacy that's world famous. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
Kayleigh, bring on my ingredient. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Very good. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
OK, I'll swap you there, OK, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
and did it wriggle at all, as it came over? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
OK. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Keeps wriggling about a bit in there! | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
OK, are you ready? Aargh! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
No, it's not alive! | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
ALL: Urgh! | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
ALL: Aah! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
These things are your friends. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
And what else have we got in here? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
ALL: Urgh! Aah! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Let's have a better look at this. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Ah-ah! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Now, this stuff is what's called sheep's pluck, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
and it's used to make a fantastic local dish called... | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
ALL: Haggis. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
Haggis, exactly. And I'm going to go and make some. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
So guys, have you ever had haggis before? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Do you like it? -Yes. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
-Have you ever seen sheep's pluck? -No. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-Do you like the look of it? -No. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Not enormously. OK, well, any idea what's inside there? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-Blood? -Yeah, a little bit of blood. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
It's like sheep's heart. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Sheep's heart. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
Just something to do with a sheep. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Do you know what? You're spot on. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
Grab the first piece that you can see in there. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-Squidgy and gooey. -Squidgy and gooey, yeah. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-It smells like something really stinky. -Something stinky. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
It feels like a jellyfish to me. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Like a jellyfish! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
This is a beautiful lamb's liver and it's really good for you. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
Shall we cut it open and have a look inside? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Now, this is a really sharp knife, so keep your fingers well away | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
and never play with them in the kitchen. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Let's have a look. Slice it through the middle there. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-ALL: Urgh! -Urgh? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
Looks like there's holes in it. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
That's right, there's loads of little holes. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
These are sort of vessels that will take liquids all around the liver. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
Blah! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
Blah! That's a pretty good description. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
It doesn't look like it would taste very nice. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
It's quite a strong flavour but I think it's really delicious. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
What else have you got in there? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
You don't know where to start with that? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
That's it, pass it all down. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
Oh, it looks like a heart. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
You've dropped it all over the place. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
That's all right, don't worry. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
It feels all bony. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
Oh, that's its throat, I think. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
That's its throat, exactly that. That's the oesophagus. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
Oh, the blood! | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
-Now, there's one bit that I want from this. -Heart. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
The heart! So we'll chop that off. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
Now, the thing about heart is it is a beautiful meat. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
It's really lean, which means it doesn't have very much fat. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-It's like bits of string. -Yuk! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-It's time for the final ingredient. -Kidneys? -It's not the kidneys. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Lungs. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
Lungs! | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
Now, lungs are a very unusual meat, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
you don't find it in that many dishes. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
There we go, that's beautiful, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:33 | |
and look at that! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Now, this isn't used in many foods at all but it makes up | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
about 10% percent of a haggis, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
it's one of the few things that you find it in. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
So, all these three ingredients - | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
the lung, the heart, the liver, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
are all minced up and mixed together | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
with a fat called suet | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
and some oatmeal, and then it ends up looking like this. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
ALL: Urgh. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
-Does that look a little bit more pleasant? -Yes, it does. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
I'd probably eat the lot. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
You'd probably eat the whole lot. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
What do you put it in before you cook it? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Something that sausages go in as well. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
That's a good guess. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:06 | |
-A foil. -Well, not foil. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
A freezer. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
-When you're sick, where does all the food come from? -Your belly. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
Oh, yeah! It looks like a pile of rice pudding, doesn't it? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
ALL: Mayonnaise. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
Looks like mayonnaise? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-Yeah, it does, it looks exactly like mayonnaise. -Like custard. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
This is what we put haggis meat into. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
ALL: Urgh! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
That's a stomach! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Urgh! | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Pass that all down. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-Oh! -What does it feel like? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
It stinks and it's actually like really, really soft jelly. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
It just smells disgusting. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
So to make this into a haggis we need to fill it | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
with our meat and our suet and oatmeal. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Chuck it in the middle, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
it might make quite a mess. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
Smells quite nice. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
So now, we've got to squish it all the way down to the bottom. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Can you see all the veins in the side of the stomach lining? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
ALL: Yeah. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
It's a strange looking thing, isn't it? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
But it's basically just a massive sausage. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Going to tie it off at the top there and that is ready for cooking. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
So that goes in to be boiled for about three hours | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
until the whole lot turns really nice and hard. OK? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Do you think it's time to taste some? -Yes. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
I reckon it is. OK, first of all, let's wash our hands. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
So, after three hours of cooking, haggis looks a little bit like this. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
Yeah. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
Oh, yeah! So, who's ready to try it? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
ALL THREE: Me. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
Dig in there. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-Quite nice. -Yeah, it's fantastic. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
It's quite tasty. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
It's got a bit of spice in it and it's really nice. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
You bite it a lot and it turns all soft. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
It's got a lot of different textures in there. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
It's like teasing your mouth. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
Is it weird to eat this now that you've seen all that goes into it? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
I didn't know what was in it before so I could eat it, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
but now I know what's in it, it's put me a wee bit off. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Oh, that's a tragedy! I wanted you to enjoy it more. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Codie, do you like it? | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
No, because it's made from lamb and lambs are born in the spring. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Oh, so you think that lamb is cute and therefore you shouldn't eat it? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Do you think we should spread the word about haggis | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-and get everyone eating more of it? -Uh-huh. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
I think it's such an exciting food, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
and here in Scotland you've got something unique. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
So it just goes to show that even food on your own doorstep | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
can be incredible. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Please give it up for the brilliant haggis handlers of Harthill. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
CLAPPING AND CHEERING | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
He-he-he... | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
Jellied eels. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
They're a traditional dish | 0:13:29 | 0:13:30 | |
from the East End of London. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
They're stewed | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
and then set in a spiced jelly. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
So there's the eel. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
They live in the muddy Thames Estuary. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
It's the perfect place for eels to live. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Eel pie and mash houses have been around | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
since the 18th century in London. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
There's still one just around the corner from here. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
It's tasting time. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
Mm... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Mm... | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
What a clean mackerel-type flavour. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
A little bit greasy and covered in that slimy jelly. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
It's fascinating. Pretty good! | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Today, we're in Shotts, in North Lanarkshire. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
'So far, we've seen Scotland's most gruesome grub, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
'the famous haggis.' | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Basically, just a massive sausage. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
'..and found out how animals end up on our plate. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
'Still to come, we use leftovers to power a rocket.' | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
ALL: Woo-hoo! | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
'But first, we kick up a stink | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
'by looking at what happens when food goes bad.' | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
So guys, what happens if you don't put food in the fridge? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
What happens if you don't put it in the fridge? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-It goes all mouldy. -Yeah, exactly. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
You won't be able to eat it cos it goes all mouldy. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
Cos it's all a bit mucky. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
Or maybe eat it and it'll just be all yucky. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-And end up being a real waste. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-It goes blue, yellow and it smells. -It goes multicoloured and smells. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
Well, yeah, exactly. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
The thing is the bacteria grows on food and it makes it rot | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
and if you put it in the fridge, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
it chills it so bacteria can't really grow. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
But before fridges and freezers were invented, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
people had to come up with different ways to preserve food, | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
and some of these methods are still used now | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
and they make really fantastic stuff. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
I'm going to show you with the help of Kyle, Nicole and Finlay. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Give them a big hand! | 0:15:25 | 0:15:26 | |
ALL: Whoa! | 0:15:26 | 0:15:27 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
But first of all we need to get changed. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
So, do we look good, guys? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
ALL: Yeah. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
You're such fibbers, we look rubbish! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
The reason we've changed into special protective suits is | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
that what we're about to handle is a toxic hazard that | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
could give you a nasty tummy ache. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
In fact, some of the stuff on these foods I'm about to show you | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
could actually kill you. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Now, in each of these containers is a food that was fresh two weeks ago, | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
but it's been left out of the fridge for nature to take its course. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
OK, Finlay, lift up that tin. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
Oh! | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-Urgh! -Urgh! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
What do you reckon we've got there? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Apples and onions. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
It's not surprising you say that, cos it doesn't look like | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
what it should be, but these are all onions. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
Those are really, really bad. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
It's too gross to explain. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
It's just caught in my throat, that's horrible! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-Nicole, can you smell that from here? -Uh-huh. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
It just smells like onion but really strong. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
It just smells like raw stuff. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
Guys, can you smell something weird going on here? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-ALL: Yes. -It stinks. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
It stinks! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
It absolutely stinks. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
This is a sign that there's bacteria on it | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
and it's breaking down the food. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
If you ate this, it would make you really, really sick. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Now, one great way of preserving things like onions | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
is by pickling them, and so you put them in some vinegar. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
There we have pickled onions. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
The acid in the vinegar stops bacteria growing | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
and that keeps the food safe. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Pickled food can be kept for months. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Personally, I love pickled eggs. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Anyone ever had a pickled egg? -No. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
You've never had a pickled egg? | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Who hates pickled food? Put your hands up if you hate pickled food. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
Oh quite a few. Put your hands up if you love pickled food. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
I think the haters win that one. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
But it's still a very good way of preserving food. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
Nicole, let's see what's lurking under your strange little lid there. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
Urgh! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
Oh! Urgh, I can smell that from here. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
ALL: Oh! Ah! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
Oh! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
What do you think that used to be? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-Fish. -Oh, gosh, I've just had a big hit of it. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
It's fish, you're absolutely right. What kind of fish? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
Salmon? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
Yes, exactly, it's salmon. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Really bad, soaked in vomit and that. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
There's vomit and death all rolled up in one piece of fish. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
Now, the thing is, if you don't keep this cold, the natural chemicals | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
in the fish and the bacteria multiply because they love the warm. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
And if you eat this, you could get horrible hives, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
violent vomiting and a nasty dose of the runs... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-Or you could just simply die. Nicole, you don't want to die? -No. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
No, we want to have you for the rest of the show. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
So any ideas, how would you preserve salmon? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
You could maybe put it in our barbecue. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
What just cook it and eat it? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
-Put salt over it. -Top man! | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
You put salt over it. Well, before fridges were around, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
people invented a brilliant way of preserving fish using smoke. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Oh, I keep getting terrible whiffs of it! | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
First of all, they salted it, exactly as you say, | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
to stop the bacteria growing | 0:18:20 | 0:18:21 | |
and then they hung it over a fire | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
so that smoke coats all of the outside of it | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
and stops the bacteria from breeding. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
Once the salmon has been smoked like that, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
it looks a bit like what's under the yellow container. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
Now that is smoked salmon. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
-Does that look a little bit more appealing? -Yes. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
So you can see this sort of brown covering and that's the smoke, | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
when it's been smoked in something | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
it gets a little layer of the smoke all over it. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
So we're ready for the final one. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
-Lift the lid on your toxic box. -Urgh! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Oh! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
ALL: Urgh! Aah! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
It looks like sort of alien eyeballs, doesn't it? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Oh, gosh, it stinks! Any idea what that was when it was alive? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
-Sausages? -Not quite sausages. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
-Anything else? -Potatoes? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
-Not quite potatoes. Finlay? -Carrots? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Finlay's retreated into himself here. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
Carrots, don't want to know! Carrots, no, they're not carrots. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
Believe it or not, these were strawberries. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
ALL: Urgh! | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
And the thing about strawberries is that | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
they have loads of water in them and bacteria love water. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
So what does it smell like? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
It smells like rotten, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
like you would have a bag of rubbish that you would throw it. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-It smells like that. -It's like a rubbish heap, isn't it? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
It's so bad I'd rather smell a pig's bum. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Like a pig's bum. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
Can you believe it just takes two weeks for this to happen, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
for it to go from being beautiful, edible food | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
into something this toxic? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
This stuff all honks and being able to smell the bad smell | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
of rotting food is our body's way of warning us that it's poisonous, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
and if you ate too much of it, | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
you'd end up with a really nasty stomach ache. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
But fear not, we have a way of preserving things like strawberries. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Kyle, lift that big red lid. What do you reckon that is Kyle? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-Strawberries on toast? -It's strawberry jam. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Now, to make jam you boil fruit with masses of sugar, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
and you reduce the amount of water in it | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
and this kills all the bacteria. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
So, guys, what's your favourite jam? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
ALL: Raspberry/strawberry. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
Oh, I think we're split between | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
raspberry and strawberries there. Pretty good. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Well, our ancestors found brilliant ways | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
to stop bacteria growing on their food | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
and preserving it without using a fridge. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
But if you think that's incredible, check this out. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
Let me introduce you to my friend, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
the durian fruit. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Now, this is notorious | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
because it tastes like heaven | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
but it smells like hell. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Now, I've never opened | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
one of these before in my life. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Smells of, sort of, death. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Smells of a rotting compost bin | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
but quite aggressively bad. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
Oh, smells like hell... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
Mm... He-he! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Tastes a bit like custard. It's quite sweet. Do you know what? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
The only way to enjoy this is to hold your nose | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
and eat it at the same time. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
Now, up on stage are Lewis, Erin | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
and Bailey and, like me, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
they are willing to try new and adventurous foods | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
to see if they can unearth a new treat. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Guys, give them a big hand! Oh, yeah! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
CLAPPING AND CHEERING | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
-So, Lewis, how are you feeling up there? -Nervous. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
A little bit of nerves is good. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
-Erin, what would you hope to try today? -Maybe beetles or that. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
Some beetles? You'd quite like to try beetles. Excellent. OK. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
-Bailey, what's the weirdest thing I could possibly serve you? -Snails. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
And can have them crawling all over your face before you eat them, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-would that be a good idea? -No. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Not at all. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
What I want you to do is I want you to focus | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
entirely on the food that's going to go into your mouth. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
And so, to do that, please lower your blindfolds. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Now that they're in the dark, it's time for the rest of us | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
to see what they're going to be eating. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
They're going to be having this... | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
ALL: Urgh! | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
What do you reckon that is? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
-Chicken legs. -It does, it looks | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
just like chicken legs, doesn't it? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
-Steak? It looks a bit like steak? Oh, yes. -Dog meat. -Dog meat? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-Looks like what's in your bin. -What's in your bin? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
I wouldn't serve them that. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
-What do you reckon that might be? Looks a bit like mouse! -Snails. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
Snails. Well, the thing is you don't have to eat this stuff... They do! | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
Well, before anything else happens, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
I can reveal to you at home that today's mystery meal is this. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
There you go. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-A little bit of this. -Yuk! | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
It's a bit slimy because it's got | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
some sauce on it. Don't worry. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
-There you go, Bailey. -Urgh! Skanky. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Have a little smell first of all. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
It smells like barbecue. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-Barbecue sauce, yeah, exactly. -Dogs' meat. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
It smells like dogs' meat! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
You must have some very posh dogs. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-What does it feel like? -Oh, I can feel a bone. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
There is a little bone in there. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
It's like when you eat ribs, there's a bone around ribs | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
or eating a chicken leg, something like that. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
-Lewis, have a guess. What do you reckon it is? -Chicken. -Chicken. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-Squirrel. -Squirrel. -Beef or something. -Beef or something. OK. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Before you eat it let me tell you this. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
This food is very low in fat and it's completely free range. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Eating it is a bit controversial, mainly because lots of people think | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
it's quite cute when it's alive. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Now, although this comes from the UK, it isn't native here, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
so some people argue that by eating it | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
we're helping to reduce its numbers. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
It's very popular in America and it's becoming more so here. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
It's even available in some butchers | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
and you can find this in my local supermarket. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
So, guys, are you ready for a food adventure? | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
ALL THREE: Yes. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Yes. They don't sound enormously chuffed about it! | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
OK, chomp away! | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Yuk! -Ha-ha-ha! | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
-Oh, that's so dry. -Keep going. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Mine tastes like chicken. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
-Like chicken. -Aye. -Oh, and what sort of chicken does it taste like? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
-Chicken wings or anything? -Aye. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-Lewis, what do you reckon it tastes of? -Chicken. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
And do you like chicken? So you're enjoying it? | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
-So, Lewis, you quite like this, do you? -Uh-huh. -Uh-huh. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
-Erin? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
-Bailey? -Aye. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
They're all fans of this then. Fantastic. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
OK. Well, take your blindfolds off | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
and have a look at what's in your hand. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
-Oh. -Urgh. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
That's how it comes. I think it looks pretty good there. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
I can now reveal to you that you have been eating... | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
-Urgh! -..squirrel. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
ALL: Urgh! | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
Oh, yeah. Oh, it's pretty good, isn't it? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
We're about to see what squirrel looks like before it's been cooked, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
but will this put off our taste testers even more? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Well, now, this might be a little bit strange to see, | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
because I'm going to show you what it looks like before it's cooked. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
It does look a little bit gruesome. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
Oh! | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
-I'm never eating that again in my life. -Urgh! | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
-So that is a grey squirrel. -Oh. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
And what you've been having there is the legs and the shoulders | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
and a little bit of the saddle, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
which is all the piece down the back of it. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Lewis, what does that look like? | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
-A cat. A wee cat. -A little cat? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Yeah, I guess so. Erin, are you a fan of chicken? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
Yes, but I don't want to cook that. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
Now that you've seen what it looks like before it's cooked, | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
do you still think it tastes good? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
-Aye, it's quite good but I won't eat it again. -And why is that? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
It's just cos I've seen it when it's still alive. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
So just seeing the thing dead | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
-is quite bad news for you? -Yeah. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
I think you've been brilliant, brilliant adventurers | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
trying something with your blindfolds on, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
it could have been anything. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:25 | |
-Are you glad that you've tried it? -Uh-huh. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
If you saw this in the supermarket, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
maybe with the skin taken off so it's just ready to cook, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
-do you think you might buy it? -No. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:33 | |
-Yes. -You would? Excellent. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Do you think that the audience should try it? -Yeah. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
If you were given the opportunity, would you eat squirrel? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:41 | |
Yeah, brilliant, well done. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
I heard a few no's there but mostly yes's. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Guys, do you want to try some more? No? Erin? Bailey? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
Oh, I'll have the rest to myself then. I reckon give squirrel a try. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
There you have it - three more volunteers | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
who were adventurous enough to try my mystery meal. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
It might look unusual but it tastes great. So I say give squirrel a go. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
You guys have been absolutely brilliant. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Let's make some noise for the coolest eaters in North Lanarkshire. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Big round of applause! | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
CHEERING AND CLAPPING | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Here, on Incredible Edibles, I like to do something | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
that'll make you shout, "That's incredible!" | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
Earlier on, we found out that ordinary kitchen waste | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
like potato peelings and stale bread and bits of corn and pasta | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
can be recycled to create biofuels. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
I want to show you just how powerful fuel from recycled foods can be | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
by seeing what it can do to Erin's water container. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
Oh yeah. I'll swap you, you hold that. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
OK, let's see what happens. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
So, here I have my water container | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
and I've got my concentrated fuel that can be made from waste food. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
Just going to squeeze a little bit into here | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
and you can see it there, in the bottom. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Just looks like water at the moment. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
And then I tip off what's left into a bucket of water, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
that should do us, and then the lid goes back on. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Now, fuel of any kind is seriously dangerous and so are flames, | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
which is why everyone's standing | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
way back over there. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
Fuel and flames together can cause | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
serious injury, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
so obviously don't attempt | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
anything like this at home. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
OK, what do you reckon will happen? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
ALL: Blow up. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
It might blow up? Do you think it will move anywhere? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
Fingers crossed. Ten, nine, eight... | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
Seven, six, five, four, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
three, two, one... | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
How cool was that?! | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
That was wicked! | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
So the next time you're scraping away your leftovers, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
try recycling them instead, because you never know | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
you could achieve lift off. So what do you think of that? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
ALL: That's incredible! | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
Oh, yeah! | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
Well, that's all we've got time for today. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
My thanks to the nosiest noshers of North Lanarkshire | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
and to you guys at home for watching. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
Join us next time for some | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
