Du du du du du du… lunch!
(laughing) That's a really bizarre one
Should we do a little catch-up for the viewers? It's been a while since an episode and
We need to tell them why. Not for lack of trying, definitely not, I think lack of trust in the community, yup.
So we've now gone out
twice
Unsuccessfully first time to my land and the second most recent time to Brixton
We're going to go back to Brixton
Brixton hasn’t seen the last of us. So, no one’s answered the door in like five doors, bad start,
let’s not get demoralised though, I’m not demoralised, I’m moralised, I’m feeling great.
I love those words that don’t have an opposite that definitely should. Like you wouldn’t describe
someone as very kempt, but you would as unkempt, ross kempt. Would you ever say that someone is whelming?
no, because there is over and there’s under? Let’s sell it, big time, big smiles.
Forget how tired you are. I'm not that much anymore. I'm really tired nice. I
don’t think they’re coming.
There’s someone at the door right now, and the window right now. Ooh.
Hi, we make a cooking show where we go door to door and offer to make people lunch
So if you haven't got lunch plans, we'd love to cook for you today
Is this for real?
These guys are doing like a YouTube show about cooking and they’d like to cook us lunch.
What do you reckon? Yeah.
Great thanks, oh fantastic, thank you so much. What
What are your names sorry?
I’m Anna, and my friend Lucy, nice to meet you. And I’m Naomi, hello, nice to meet you. Oh wow, have you got a guinea pig over there?
Uh no, rats, rats, rats. They look a lot cuter when they’re not like scuttling around the tube platform.
what are their names? Eric is the brown one and Ernie is the white one.
He’s named after Ernie Shackleton, because Ellie was learning about him at school, and thought it would make a good name for a rat.
And I carried on with the explorer theme and named him Eric the Red.
Are they like
Escape-y rats because I used to have hamsters and one of them
I don't wanna tell any horror stories here, but one of them killed the other one and ran away, but I mean
You don't want to tell any horror stories. Sorry. Yeah, yeah
All right, should we get cooking now
And we’re back, and we’re back. You’re actually the first people who opened the door, oh yeah, and we got in.
Maybe it’s the phone on the head, like Ellie went to open the door and then she came back and she went ‘it’s a guy with a phone on his head’ (laughing).
Where are you starting with this actual recipe? We’ve got
aubergine, few aubergines. Some sugar some sesame seeds, lime lime, soy sauce, rice,
garlic, nice ginger
lovely, spring onion, classic, radish, where does this end?
Carrots step one. We're gonna chop up the aubergine and
Peel the carrots. All right
Could we have a chopping board and knife, please?
You can use this awesome knife which a man made for us in Kyrgyzstan.
It’s made out of bits of like recycled motorbike.
Wow recycled motorbike. Yeah, what were you doing in Kyrgyzstan?
We were staying with some friends who were living out there. It was really good wasn’t it? It was really fun, yeah.
It’s a beautiful place, like huge skies, and hills and mountains.
Did you ever see Dawn Wall? So, Dawn Wall, they were talking about this like climber who at one point went to
Kyrgyzstan and got captured by rebels. Lead them through the mountains for days, walking, like held at gunpoint. And
then eventually for some reason, two of the rebels like left
to go get stuff or something, right. And then the main guy who it’s about,
pushed one of them off the mountain. No. And they ran away
So what do you guys do?
I’m a teacher, that’s why I’m on holiday. So that’s nice (laughing). Yeah I work with special needs children
Naomi wants to show you her Kyrgyzstan notebook, I would love to see it! Oh please do!
There’s a lot of stuff in there. That’s me, oh nice, and mummy and daddy are there and Ellie’s there.
And what’s that instrument?
That is a Komuz, and we actually have a Komuz.
You have a Komuz? Yes! Wow, amazing! Can you play it? No.
We walked past this statue, Lenin. That’s Lenin? Yes. Do you know who he is? No idea. Okay, that’s probably good.
That is really cool. It’s a really weird word to spell.
Kyrrr… ooohh.
Nice well that’s amazing, thanks for showing us your book. For the first time on an episode,
We have experience making the dish that we're producing. Is that right? That is correct
We went out to film the other day didn't get in and I made it out of sadness
But I ate it out of gladness you just want the thinnest of strips.
I’ve been to Israel and Palestine, on the West Bank
a lot of my visits were kind of with work.
When I was about to have Josie,
they decided they were going to close the UK office and just work in Israel and Palestine,
so I got made redundant, and I was like, well I'm about to have a baby so its fine.
And then I thought, hmmm, Millie’s starting school in September,
And then I thought, hmmm, Millie’s starting school in September, I should probably get a job or have another baby, and I chose having another baby (laughing).
Alright then were just going to kind of let this continue cooking. Ooh are the new guys here now?
Let’s wait until they come in here. So real quick what do we do next?
So we're gonna make the sauce
One-part soy sauce, one-part sugar to two parts water. One-part soy sauce to one-part… just grab a bowl, we’ll figure something out.
We don’t know where the bowls are, I’ll wait a sec.
Okay, so let's try and do this gracefully
Hello lovely to meet you
my name’s Ed. Nice to meet you Ed.
Hal, sorry we’ll do a proper… nice to meet you.
We’ve brought some more bread, fantastic,
we’ve got two homemade loaves of bread, I’m excited. How about you guys, what do you guys do?
Well, we’re retired, we’re retired haha.
I’m Lucy’s mother, and Millie and Josie are my granddaughters.
In with the rice.
so its usually about 60 grams per person, I do it in fistfuls.
I like to measure stuff instead of weighing it.
100 cm of pasta per person, I miss doing it in inches, big on the metric system me. Big on the metr-
Wait, is that the right way around? Yeah, the metric system is a good one metric is tens
Metronome met
10 Metropolitan 10. I don’t know does met have an actual meaning?
No, Dec is ten. Good point. Ed’s looking all sorts of silly right now.
That's bubbling away.
Is that the water we’re cooking it in, don’t do too much, because we want it to cook off obviously. Like that much?
It's on you. I don't want to be in charge of the rice. You're in charge of the rice
It looks like you are it's in your hand. All right
I'm not gonna turn it on until you say that's right, shall we ask someone else?
Is there a rice doctor in the house? Does this look about right for rice and water to you? It’s time for lime.
Is that the instrument that you had? What’s it called? A Komuz, a Komuz. And what kind of tunes do you play on it?
Random tunes, random tunes, can you play any random tunes. (Random tunes start playing)
Love it
thank you very much. There’s a baby on the floor, yeah there is a baby on the floor, blimey.
Ed, thoughts on the rice, I think we actually might be in business.
Smile! Say Aubergine! Aubergine!
that's actually a good word for it
So how do you know how much food to prepare?
Well we don’t, this is definitely the biggest ensemble we’ve ever cooked for.
we've both been listening actually to this podcasts about the
Final 13 minute descent to the moon
Just the biggest thing that people had ever done so I can imagine people feeling kind of similarly about Mars
But I don't want to go because
I like it here. Yeah when NASA see this they're gonna be annoyed
He was our number one guy, who else are we gonna find?
Tom Hanks. We met Tom Hanks! Did you? Yeah we did. What was he like?
Very friendly. You would imagine him to be kind, Tom Hanks. Yeah. He seems fatherly. Right?
My husband went out and then came back and said ‘oh we’re here for the hiking I don’t suppose that’s what you’re here for?’
He did sign our copy of our trek thing,
He did sign our copy of our trek thing, he said ‘happy trekking, Tom.’ Tom still has his signature.
And then as he left he said
he stopped by our table which was kind of him, he didn’t have to do that and he said, ‘well its really nice to meet you guys,
nice to see a family who goes hiking together.
Lovely! Yeah and then he said ‘and by the way, we’ve left some wine on the table that we haven't quite finished, help yourself!'
Amazing, so we did, we tried it.
but we thought our wine was nicer so… (laughing). I turned down Tom Hanks’ wine.
Shall we start washing up?
Is that everything? Alright
Alright, well um thanks so much for having us. Its been really lovely to meet you. We’ll say a final goodbye to Eric and (Ernie)
Bernie final, goodbye. Thanks again. Nice to meet you. Bye. Bye

Du du du du du du – Done! So we just came out of cooking for a lovely family, we had a really nice time.
