Well, hey, welcome to this English lesson about food.
I'm here with Brent. Hi, Brent. Hello.
Brent's taking me around Maine
today, around Lewiston, Maine.
And he's going to treat me.. Well, I don't know.
He might be treating me to food.
Or I'll buy some of it as well.
And then as I taste it, I'll try
to think of all the English words and
phrases I would use to describe that food.
So I'm looking forward to it. Me too.
The only thing I'm worried about is that Bob
is going to like the food so much.
You're not going to want to leave?
Yeah, I might end up staying here, but we'll see.
You never know it might be yummy, maybe not.
Okay, so we're here at the Holy Donut.
Brent has just gone in to make sure it's
okay for us to come in with our cameras.
If not, maybe we'll have to be a little bit
sneaky about it, but I'm sure they'll say yes to
a Canadian visiting coming to buy their donuts.
I'm sure they'll be fine with it. We'll see.
And then what's your best blueberry?
Oh, personally, in my opinion, the blueberry lemon.
What does that look like? Where is that?
Oh, yeah, that looks good. Yeah, we'll do that.
The cannoli is also absolutely delicious, but
I actually really like the lemon. Let's do four. Okay.
We're gonna do the blueberry cannoli.
salt, a lemon, a blueberry holy cannoli.
Maple bacon and blueberry lemon. Maple bacon.
That's the one that I'm missing here. All right.
Then the total is going to be $17.55. Okay. I can pay.
Then my screen's just going to ask you
if you'd like to leave a tip and
then I'll ask if you want to receipt.
So we're not going to eat all of them.
We're going to try parts of each of them.
I got a knife. I had a knife. Yes.
Okay, so I think half's too much. Yeah, it is. So let's.
I'm gonna eat before you're eating. Do it.
This is probably my favorite donut that they sell here.
That is a deep, rich chocolate flavor.
Do you taste the potato in them? I don't, actually.
It tastes like if I bought this at
home, it would be an expensive donut.
And it's kind of a traditional donut.
It's made the old fashioned way.
It's probably deep fried in oil.
I think almost a little warm still.
this was baked, but my favorite.
Do you like salt as well? I do. Two thumbs up.
But I have to try the other ones yet.
I feel bad, but I'm already rating this one
as my favorite without trying the other ones.
So I can't imagine how many calories
are in the middle of this doughnut.
We gotta get a little bit of the cream. This is. Yes.
Luckily, they have a washroom here.
As you would say in Canada, you can wash up afterwards.
Once again, I'm gonna dive right in.
Do you know that? I'm gonna dive in.
That means I'm gonna go and take a piece right away.
The whipped cream tastes very fresh.
Like, it feels like it's authentic whipped cream.
Sometimes in Canada and the United States, you
have things that are kind of fake.
That tastes like real whipped cream.
Real blueberries, definitely. Oh, that is. That is good.
Yeah.
I'm starting to like it more and more.
A doughnut with bacon seems a little strange to me.
Usually donuts are very sweet, and this is going
to add a salty, savory element to the donut.
Now, bacon and maple go well together.
I'm gonna smell it first. Oh, yeah.
You can definitely smell the bacon.
I'm gonna use the English phrase, that's a no for me.
When you say something is a no for you, it
means you don't like it, like, I like it enough
that I'll finish my piece, but I wouldn't buy this.
Is it too sweet, or is it the combination of flavors?
It's the bacon with the sugar.
That's unfortunate. I like that one. Okay.
I believe it's the blueberry lemon. Blueberry lemon.
So two flavors together, and I'm sure it's the same.
In Canada, we say blueberry pairs well with lemon.
You will see that in cakes and stuff.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had this one.
You can actually see the blueberry inside this one.
The hint of lemon is quite strong.
I wouldn't actually use the phrase hint of lemon.
So more lemony than blueberry, I think. Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna rank them. Okay.
Chocolate sea salt number one for me.
Blueberry lemon number three, but a distant third, like, it's
one, two, and then there's a big gap for Bob.
I guess it's number four by default,
but would not be buying it again.
No, no, we don't line up exactly.
But chocolate sea salt number one.
Number one, blueberry, probably number three.
Oh, the maple bacon's probably my second. Okay.
This will be fourth, but not distant.
Like, I kind of like them all. Yeah.
Okay, well, thanks for the donuts. Of course.
We're done here at the donut shop,
I think we might have a lobster roll.
So we're at our next location.
We're gonna look at the lighthouse that you might
be able to just see in the distance there.
And then up there, there's a little food truck or a
little food place where we're gonna get a lobster roll.
So I know this is a food video, but
this is a pretty cool shot of this lighthouse.
I'll have to do a little bit of
research about it later, but here we are.
You can see what I think is the Atlantic Ocean.
But we're here on the eastern seaboard.
We would call it making a food
video where I'm not actually eating anything.
We'll get back to that in just a sec. Okay.
I'm just taking a selfie for Jen.
I decided if I was on a trip without
her, I should at least send her some pictures.
Almost dropped my phone because of
the suntan lotion on my hands.
Okay, so we're here at this little trailer.
I called it a food truck, but it's a trailer,
and we're gonna get a lobster roll, which is apparently
a pretty common thing to get when you're in Maine.
I think Brent's gonna pay for them again. We'll see.
I say we go with a couple lobster rolls.
And since we're in Maine, we gotta do the Maine lobster.
Yeah.
We have a four and a half ounce and a six.
The smaller one for me. Okay. Smaller one for me.
We're kind of on a tour of food,
so we don't want to eat too much.
So it says for the Maine one, just mayo and chives? Yes.
Uh, we can put butter on anything. Please do. All right.
I'll get that receipt printed for you. Thank you.
Thank you. And I'll get you those drinks.
You guys had Moxie before. I've had it before, but he's from Canada. No.
We're gonna see if I like it. Yeah.
Let us know where you fall on the great debate here.
Do you like it? I love it. You do? Really?
You'll be number 49. We'll just call the number when it's ready.
Had this for about 20 years, and
So I'm trying Moxie, by the way, so I. Sorry.
can and hear the nice ka-chsssh sound.
I'll make the sound for you, ka-chsssh.
I was expecting something that was a little...
a little different, but it says
on here distinctively different.
But it really tastes like just a regular sweet.
Almost like a root beer, I was gonna say.
Yeah, it has a hint of, like, root beer.
Is that sassafras or something like that? It's good.
There you go! Enjoy! Thank you.
Okay, so this is a lobster roll.
It looks kind of like a fancy, fancy bun with
lots of lobster in it, and then some potato chips.
I'm gonna assume, like, traditional seafood.
I should put some lemon on this.
And then is the fork for, like, newbies. I think.
I think it can get pretty messy.
So I think I just... I gotta take... just take a bite.
My first bite. Mmm! That is very fresh seafood.
the ocean, we don't get fresh... This is,
this is very good. You can tell.
I didn't know you could tell that easily.
And I'm not the biggest lobster fan, but, I
mean, they didn't say skimp on the lobster meat.
That means they didn't hold back. They didn't...
They gave us a lot of lobster in this.
So I'm gonna try it just with a fork here.
There's, like, butter on my hands from eating it.
Sorry for talking with my mouth full, but it's
very hard to eat without it falling apart.
Mmm.
Good?
Yep.
It's the best thing I've eaten today so far.
Better than the doughnuts? Better than the chocolate
So there's a couple words I would use to describe this.
That means, like, this is Brent's.
That's kind of a newer word we use sometimes.
Like, I just destroyed it, but that was yummy.
I don't think I'm gonna eat the chips.
but that was really, really good.
I can't think of any other words.
So I said I wasn't gonna eat my potato chips,
but I didn't want to let them go to waste.
When you let something go to waste, it means
you don't eat it and you throw it away.
And I just couldn't let them go to waste.
I was just feeling kind of full.
When you eat a lot of food, especially
the lobster roll, you can feel full.
But, yeah, I can't let these go
to waste, so I'm gonna eat them.
Okay, so we're on our way to get a whoopie pie. Yeah.
Whoopie pie. Place called Wicked Whoopie.
Have you ever had a whoopie pie?
I think you brought me one last year. Okay.
But I'm looking forward to, like, is this
gonna be, like, fresh made or it's gonna
be similar to what I had last year? No, it'll be...
it'll be a lot fresher than last year. Okay.
Is that it? That's it. Wicked Whoopie.
In Maine, when we say something is really
good, we might say it's wicked good.
Oh, so that's why it says wicked whoopies. Wicked good.
Okay.
I see a lot of chocolate flavors over there.
That's probably where I'm gonna go. Okay.
So I just noticed they have mint.
and then the inside probably has, like, a mint flavor.
I might go for that, because I
do like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
And then when I saw this, I said, hold the phone.
In English, when you say hold the phone,
it means stop whatever you're thinking about, because
I might be changing my mind, so. Hmm. Mint.
In English, when you say something's on
you, it means you're paying for it.
So Brent bought other stuff today, so this one's on me.
Would you like a bag for these?
No, we're gonna eat them right away. Alrighty.
Can we eat them at one of those tables over there?
Okay.
I might need to punch my code in.
No, you are all set. Thank you.
Pumpkin, Gingerbread? Do you sell much of that?
Yeah, we do. In the summer? Yeah.
I'm not a gingerbread fan, but you would be surprised
the people that come in specifically for the fall. Okay.
Yeah. Can I get a receipt? You bet.
Do you have a lot of Canadians that come in here? Yes.
Okay, good. I'm not the only...
Okay, let's find a table right in the corner here?
It's time for the grand opening. Sorry,
grand opening is usually when a store
opens, not when you open something.
But you definitely went with the classic.
I did go mint, but it's the classic look. Yes, it is.
I thought it was vanilla in the middle.
So you might not have to brush your teeth tonight. Okay.
Because you think it's kind of like toothpaste.
Oh, it's Minty. Definitely.
So I thought the outside would be
a little bit more like a brownie.
I think there's a lot of icing sugar in there.
It tastes a little bit like the icing on a cake.
Like a cake that you would eat for your birthday. So.
think you could eat in a sitting?
Once we stop the camera, I don't think I can eat
more than half, and I will eat the rest tonight.
I love chocolate, so the more chocolate, the better.
Chocolate cake, chocolate filling my stuff.
You can't go wrong means you made a good
decision, or that's a good decision to make.
again. We should ask, like, what would...
Yeah, what would you get? Go with the mint.
Peanut butter. Double chocolate.
I know I'll have to try that next time. In two
years when I'm back, because next year, hopefully Brent's in Canada.
I said thanks, but I paid for it.
I wasn't planning the whole...
to eat the whole thing, but it really hit the spot.
In English, when you say something
hits the spot, it means you...
you ate something or drank something that was,
like, exactly what you needed in that moment.
So this hit the spot. It was the mint.
So we should check back in in 20 minutes and
see how you're feeling because... I'll probably be sleeping
on the couch at Brent's house because I think
I'm gonna have a bit of a sugar overload.
But, yeah, that definitely hit the spot.
Well, hey, thanks for watching this little English lesson
where I ate some food, and hopefully I described
it in enough ways that you were able to
learn some English words and phrases.
I know it wasn't a traditional English lesson, but
it certainly was fun to have you along as
Brent and I toured a little bit of Maine
and tried some of the food and one drink.
So, anyways, thanks for watching.
