Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
All right. How's it going, guys? How's it going?
Hi, hi.
Is there anything you want to talk about?
If not, I have one.
Oh, go ahead.
So remember two weeks ago, we talked aboutBrazilian nuts.
Yes.
Well, I got them here today. We're going to trythem.
Try that.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Let me bring it.
Wow. I was waiting for that.
So here we are. I bought this on Amazon.
Okay.
Is this the one?
This is the one.
Okay.
This is the one.
So it says on the back.
Well, I wanted to find like a注意書き where it sayslike only eat one per day.
But it doesn't say on the package.
But on the Amazon page, it said it.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've never seen it. Never seen anything like it.
Yeah.
How did this, how did this start, this journeystart?
Someone said, did someone say it was good?
From the お便り?
ブラジルナッツ頼むと
Oh yeah. 好きなナッツなんですか?
私はブラジルナッツ大好きなんですけど。
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I started with that.
Yeah.
First of all, I've never heard of this Braziliannuts, the name.
Yeah.
And also I've never heard like you only can takeone nut a day.
Yeah.
A day.
Yeah.
Like how, it's dangerous.
It's dangerous if you eat a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But other than serin, it's got so many other greatstuff.
Vitamin E, B1, B6,
溶酸、マグネシウム、アエン、鉄、カルシウム、カリウム、食物繊維、オメガ9、オメガ6。
Wow.
It's great.
Sounds good.
It's great.
And it's very good for your beauty, your healthand everything, right?
I guess so.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
03:12
This was 9.99, 1000 yen.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Wow.
Shall we give it a shot?
Yeah.
Can I open it?
Yeah, go ahead.
I am very, very, very interested in this.
Okay.
So it doesn't smell like anything, actually.
Yeah.
It's just a...
There's no strong smell.
It looks like a bigger version of one.
I would say like a straight version of cashewnuts.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It looks like garlic clove to me from here.
Yeah.
The skin's off on yours.
So it doesn't smell like anything though, right?
Wow.
All right.
But we can only...
Right.
One a day.
One a day.
Wow.
So cheers.
Cheers, yeah.
Is it good?
It's not that good.
I mean, it's okay.
It's not that good though.
But it's okay.
Yeah.
It's not that bad.
But it's not good, at least.
Is it like...
Is it roasted?
This is...
I don't think this is roast.
This is nama.
Maybe that.
Maybe the roasted is better?
It feels like you're eating some...
Like a very...
Like a wild, random thing.
Oh, yeah.
In the mountains.
Something like that.
I kind of get it.
I get it.
Hmm.
Maybe you should roast this?
Yeah, it does taste like something that would gogreat with a roast.
Yeah.
But is this something...
This is how you eat.
It's okay eating with nama.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It doesn't say to cook it or anything.
Have you had shiinomi before?
Shiinomi?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
Okay.
It's like a donguri.
A bit smaller version of donguri.
And inside you can...
You have kind of like a nut.
And you eat inside.
Okay.
06:00
It's like that.
Oh, is that what it feels?
Yeah.
Taste and the texture as well?
Yes.
Okay.
It's like...
It's like you can find in mountains in Japan, likea forest in Japan.
So every town has like shiruki.
Oh, okay.
And it's like every child in one season you go tothe forest and you know it's...
There are like...
Just like donguris.
You go around and you pick them and just...
You open it.
You eat it.
You roast it and you eat it.
It's like an adventure for kids.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Is that what it feels like?
Just like that.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
All right.
So nothing like too special.
Nothing too tasty or nothing like that.
What I expected by hearing Amazon hoseki,
more like oily, creamy, thick nutty taste.
Yeah, yeah.
It's what I expected.
Yeah.
No.
It feels uncooked.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Do you...
I don't...
So when you compare to...
When I compare to all the other nuts that I eat,like almond, cashew, all the other stuff,
this would probably be like in the lower likesecond or third.
It's too big.
Yeah.
It's too bland and it's too big.
So like you get like a mouthful of like mush.
Whereas like almonds, it's much more likeroastier.
And it's fun in your mouth because it's so crisp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It doesn't have...
It lacks all of that, you know, element.
And it's just...
I agree.
Yeah.
You get a lot of like mush in your mouth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I would do it for the health.
If it's like very, very, very healthy, I would doit.
Yeah, me too.
I can eat it.
Yeah.
Every morning.
It doesn't make me feel bad.
It's manageable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not disgusting.
Not at all.
Yeah, right.
But I prefer almond or like those ones, likeregular ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree.
I agree.
It's not crispy.
It's hard, but it's not crispy crisp.
I understand.
I understand.
I would say it's a bit shiketa version of almond.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah.
Maybe we should roast it.
Yeah, that would...
It feels like roasting would be a good solution toall the problems we have right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you put a little salt on it.
You know, after eating, does it feel like...
09:01
I feel something in the back of the throat.
Do you feel this or no?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Okay.
I feel a little bit of a something, you know?
Yeah, a little bit of something.
Like maybe after eating something too acid, kindof like that.
It feels like the back of the throat is likefighting something.
Itchy a bit?
Not itchy.
It's just, it's like a little bit like something'spulling.
Okay.
Nothing's happening.
Nothing happening?
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, just a little bit.
I was going to drink water or something.
Let me find out.
But yeah, we have the miracle fruit from Amazon,right?
Yeah.
I don't feel so.
Yeah.
If I were to eat this, I wouldn't name this theHoseki of Amazon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah.
How do you name this?
I would...
The...
Let's see.
Thumbnut.
Like Oyayvi?
Thumbnut?
I like that.
It's a good one, right?
Yeah.
I love that name.
It's the gist.
I love that.
Yeah.
It's got the size of a thumb.
It's got like the dullness of a thumb.
It's like, it's not sharp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like a little bit dull.
Yeah.
Lovely name.
Yeah.
Thumbnuts.
Yeah.
The bulkiness.
It's a bulky, yeah, that's right.
Like a slow and big.
Yeah, right, right.
Yeah.
