Nan bread there too okay so this is the Italian station you can get any kind of Italian food there you want they got uh they got these pre-made pastas these change every day so I don’t think they have tortillas in Italy but those were good I ate those too those were pretty boss got some lasagna right right there yes so bubbling cheesy there’s some pasta I think you can put your sauce on there if you want so those are the pre-made pastas and they also got these Italian breads I never tried one but I saw a lot of people eating them they said they were super good so and these Italian cheesy

looks pretty nice there we go there’s the Italian station for dinner and [Music] lunch [Music] [Music] e [Music] [Music] okay so it’s special feast day today they put together quite a spread local food and pastries like like the matad Hatters tea party okay this is a very bad day to be on Paleo how many time how many times can I lick it before I’m off paleo mom three three licks I think you can smell it three licks to get to oh it smells like cocoa actually very bad day to be on Paleo only got another another day for that and we got fish and stuff take a by Mom and is this the fish they bought you said they bought on the island so the chef said they bought this fish today so this this is the Mahi and the other one too the Mahi the other one he said this one need they bought like 5,000 million kilos oh is it good the sauce is really good the sauce yeah is really good okay you see that that like um it’s the unusual flavor but this one he said was parly good so let’s test this one okay oh your oh apparently it’s fresh so yeah it’s all fresh it tastes like fresh fish you know there’s nothing like fresh fish there’s nothing like fresh fish and this came out of the oceans

use as many of these as I want 1 2 5 you’re on a cruise get it all it sure beats VY all right we to tuck in later [Music] mate [Music] all right hello aloha aloha okay we wanted to do a quick uh there all this weird fruit stuff that we’ve never eaten I’ve never seen any of these odd things I’ve seen them but I’ve never eaten them so we wanted to uh just try these on cam so these are carot chips carot no I think carot I think is that the root the tarot root they taste like chips well they’re better than the real tarot that’s much better it’s not bad wonder if that’s GL I wonder if that’s AO I don’t know okay you want to oh he chopped it up for us so what is this called you put a lot of salt on it I don’t know does anyone know I think this is passion fruit no no this is a passion fruit that’s a passion fruit yeah what does it taste like kiwi kind of looks like a white kiwi I think it’s in the realm of kiwi not as sweet as a kiwi though no kind of like very very mild flavor there is sweetness though yeah kind of bridging on sweet it’s not bitter please leave a remark and tell us what this is what hell is that all around it looks good oh dragon fruit a dragon fruit this is dragon fruit I can just tell by the outside look at that the color on the on the skin uhhuh it’s like fluorescent it’s pretty good actually okay never have that okay that’s very kiwi like yeah now the other thing that is it called Rambo tan Rambo tan yeah and there’s people here eating this by the by the by the pound I know there’s the lady behind this is she’s eating like yeah I think she’s had like 20 of them yes so this is this is actually pretty interesting to have food on a on a cruise I’ve never even seen before it’s kind of exciting oh look at that it’s a look a little egg what there’s an alien egg inside alien I think I saw this on a sci-fi movie bad things happened after they ate it no oh wait there’s a little it’s an embryo there’s a little creature inside it does look like an embryo that’s Co it’s going to bust out of my stomach here pretty soon okay uh all right we’ll just uh let’s put the ends in here this in half I don’t know so we can both try it yeah ramboo tag so there is a there is a pit yeah there is a pit in this one but otherwise it would grow this is so exciting if it didn’t have SE I don’t know what it is do it all the way around there we go all right it looks it looks like a uh it’s got like a the seed is so soft I wonder if you could eat it I bet you they make nuts it looks like a nuts yeah I should I should ask this let me ask the Chinese lady can can we eat the seed e sweed oh yeah you can eat the seed oh sh shake it tastes like a um an almond or something a soft almond yeah all right now the meat M that’s sweet it’s really good very sweet no I like that incredibly sweet wow and the nut I like you can eat and you can eat the nut you can eat the seeds can eat through the whole thing I wonder if you can eat the hairs on it I don’t think so I think the hair is a bad Feer the hair is on my chinny chin chin right there The Three Little Pigs or something I don’t know not by the hair I thought that was Rumble SK skin is it I what what Grim fairy tale could that be somebody look it out not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin he thinks it I think it’s rle fil skin you think it’s three little pigs no I’ll huff and puff and blow your house out anyway this is called a dragon’s eye eye yeah dragons have brown eyes apparently and uh and it’s very similar it looks like to the rambutan rambutan it also has an alien embryo [Music] inside this is pretty exciting things on food you’ve never eaten before fruits we never eat before all right pce for you oh got like a Melanie melon like a melon flavor it does yeah it’s in the realm of uh melon yeah very good sweet very sweet very sweet why is that red light blinking means it’s rolling m okay all right tomato potato that’s it okay we got weird stuff going on there’s the chef we’re trying all the amazing fruits boom please enjoy thank you all right all right so this is not a tomato but it looks like one this is a Pim so Mom knows what this is this one I’ve known I think have they have these in the UK I’ve never seen one of these either so but I’ve never eaten one raw actually I’ve only eaten like P Simmons pie oh it’s very sweet Melanie um what is it in the realm of it’s uh kind of like a um melon again it’s yeah there’s something it tastes like but I can’t figure out what it is like an over ripen melon or something that was a very ripe for Simons by the way it’s sweet though yeah pretty good very good here there’s an acting right there I know okay so oh the person had a little flower and then this is the passion fruit okay this is very light yeah I mean it feels like there’s there’s nothing inside yeah I stab my hand through here we go this is for all of you who have have not like us and not had these these unusual the the Asians on board seem to know what this stuff is they all know I’ve never seen I think they all got to be Asian fruits we’re used to bana ban oh oh oh my word okay this has got some goo inside I don’t know about that also an alien embryo well I got to give it a go here you give it a go you tell me it’s like eyeballs alien embryo alien not the most raw egg any any anything in that realm right therey like raw eggy with seeds in it super bitter bom oh okay well for the bitter people that like bitter there you are it does have a fruity flavor but I don’t know if I’m going any more on that I’m another bite okay and then we’re going to do I you want to open that one all right so here we go last crazy fruit we got today we got this thing which I forgot what it’s called too that is called a I wonder if I just eat the peel huh I wonder if I can eat the peel it seems too difficult to open you know what that is star fruit star star fruit star and you can eat the skin maybe I wouldn’t okay all right there we go starf fruit this is starf fruit star fruit I know it tastes like an apple maybe let me see yeah wow oh um apple or uh it need to be a little riper maybe you think this one I don’t know all the fruit’s pretty ripe I uh okay what not sweet enough for you that one doesn’t do much for but I I’m one of these ones I really like my fruit to be sweet cuz I kind of see it as a substitute for sugar I don’t mind it actually
