2 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080 Oh 3 00:00:41,000 --> 00:01:05,379 Quafing and Phil Jupiter's three sheets to the wind. It's prulies. Would you mind stepping out of the vehicle, please? It's Alan Davis 4 00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:16,299 This is around the house. So what can I get you prugose? 5 00:01:17,219 --> 00:01:51,810 Those a good idea to order 300 gin and tonics Tuesday a bit late in the week 6 00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:53,370 Frankly 7 00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:57,030 Let's think it through. What is in gin and tonic? 8 00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:59,890 Quinine is in and why might you want quinine? 9 00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:03,010 Isn't it good for stopping mosquitoes biting you? 10 00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:07,769 No, it doesn't stop mosquitoes biting you but it used to be the treatment for malaria for malaria 11 00:02:07,769 --> 00:02:12,569 Yeah, so the problem is that today's tonic contains very little so in order for it to be effective 12 00:02:12,569 --> 00:02:18,969 You would really have to drink 300 gin and tonics every single day. I accept that 13 00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:26,330 Mean don't try it because too much quinine it unbelievably bad for you can get to abnormal heart rhythms 14 00:02:26,330 --> 00:02:28,789 You can get double vision. I think that's the gin actually if I'm honest 15 00:02:34,409 --> 00:02:36,409 Seriously 16 00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:43,530 Some of those some malaria pills make you blind or make you yes 17 00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:46,530 No, I mean some of the new stuff is also I think not very good 18 00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:49,810 I've known people to have what can only be described as a psychotic reaction 19 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:52,449 Usually while sharing a tent with me, which is not fun 20 00:02:56,569 --> 00:02:59,849 Crazy dreams. Oh, wow. It's great. I bought a load 21 00:03:01,490 --> 00:03:07,889 The only person I can think who might have accepted the actual challenge of 300 gin and tonics a day is Clarissa Dixon 22 00:03:07,889 --> 00:03:12,169 Right, you may remember one half of the TV chef duo two fat ladies. She once got so ill 23 00:03:12,169 --> 00:03:15,289 The doctors thought she had malaria. She had something called sticky blood 24 00:03:15,289 --> 00:03:19,689 It's a condition that is usually suffered by people who have taken too many quinine tablets 25 00:03:19,689 --> 00:03:23,810 Over a long period it turned out she had quinine poisoning from too many gin and tonics 26 00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:27,849 Then she was drinking six pints of tonic a day 27 00:03:29,169 --> 00:03:35,090 Over 12 years. I didn't even know what quinine is to you. It comes from the bark of the cinchona tree. Oh 28 00:03:35,889 --> 00:03:38,330 So the interesting. Thank you, darling 29 00:03:39,129 --> 00:03:41,129 What can they ask off here? So thank you 30 00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:45,009 So the catch what people who were the indigenous people of South America 31 00:03:45,009 --> 00:03:49,569 They knew about it long before the Europeans because they lived there because they live there exactly 32 00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:53,370 Europeans are a massive disadvantage with the fauna of South America 33 00:03:53,370 --> 00:03:57,870 Yeah, and the flora but the really sad thing is that it was the Europeans who brought malaria to them 34 00:03:57,889 --> 00:04:01,569 So the malaria did not exist. Oh, and now we have to go there to catch it 35 00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:13,539 So what do you get out the bark and what yeah, so you have to distill it you have to distill it 36 00:04:13,699 --> 00:04:17,420 From the bark or will it up and then drips out or how do you do that? 37 00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:21,980 Well, it's a very long chemical process and it was first done in 1820 by two French scientists 38 00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:27,339 But it changed the face of the world. Why might that be you could just go to more horrible places 39 00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:31,420 Well, you could go to places that you wanted to colonize the whole map 40 00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:37,620 Exactly, right Prue. You could suddenly go to India and parts of Africa. Give them gonorrhea instead. Yeah 41 00:04:38,939 --> 00:04:41,699 Give us your land. We'll give you an itch in an uncomfortable place 42 00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:49,259 Is that a quinine tree that is the cinchona tree so it's like a beach tree to me looks like a good climber 43 00:04:49,259 --> 00:04:52,019 Do you not think you could easily climb up that not for a fat person? 44 00:04:54,019 --> 00:05:00,779 But in Britain it saves the reputation of gin because when quinine was discovered as a thing that would possibly cure malaria 45 00:05:01,379 --> 00:05:04,459 Gin which had been the drink of the of the poorer classes 46 00:05:04,699 --> 00:05:10,019 Suddenly became a drink that everybody was happy to drink gin and tonic became quite the thing certainly the drink of the colonies 47 00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:15,339 Yes sitting in the club and having a gin and tonic quinine also responsible for the invention of modern dyes 48 00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:21,259 So there was a gentleman called Sir William Henry Perkin and he wanted to make a synthetic version of the drug 49 00:05:21,379 --> 00:05:24,939 He failed actually it so there is it was only 18 when he did this there 50 00:05:24,939 --> 00:05:28,300 He is an 18. It is actually before and after picture 300 gin and tonic 51 00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:32,620 He's very nice-looking both times 52 00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:37,180 He was a handsome fellow handsome boy handsome man. He did well and he invented Moveen 53 00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:41,259 It's the very first artificial color ever invented changed the world of fashion 54 00:05:41,459 --> 00:05:43,860 But what he was trying to do was actually to make quinine 55 00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:47,579 I want to heal people. I'm gonna heal people. I want to make people look fabulous 56 00:05:49,699 --> 00:05:56,339 But the pre-quinine malaria treatments they were just as bizarre as they were desperate so I love this one in medieval Europe 57 00:05:56,339 --> 00:05:59,779 It was thought that it would work if you were thrown headfirst into a bush 58 00:05:59,779 --> 00:06:04,720 And if you got out quickly enough to leave the fever behind that would sort you out 59 00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:07,980 God if someone landed in my bush training 60 00:06:07,980 --> 00:06:09,980 I 61 00:06:13,579 --> 00:06:15,579 Leave it there 62 00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:22,199 Eat an onion with our men written on it. It's good for you 63 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,879 My mother used to have from onion sandwiches raw onion sandwiches white bread lots of butter raw onions 64 00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,480 It's delicious. Tell us to put some cheese in 65 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,839 It used to be called Roman fever malaria and it's thought to be one of the reasons for the end of the Roman Empire 66 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,319 It's one of the oldest illnesses in the world. We have discovered mosquitoes with the malaria parasite in it fossilized in amber 67 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,920 It are 30 million years old and still to this day about a million people a year die 68 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,759 From it is a truly terrible disease. It comes from medieval Italian malaria. So it means bad air. Not a good thing 69 00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:02,800 I do like this in 2014 a Californian firm made a perfume that made cows smell like humans 70 00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,519 So that mosquitoes would bite them instead of us 71 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,519 Oh 72 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,839 Because cows can't get malaria apparently the other alternative cure is Viagra 73 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,560 Of me. Yes 74 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,680 Apparently a fairly effective way of treating malaria as it can improve the spleen's ability to filter the parasite excellent 75 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920 My malaria is gone. I've got somewhere to put this towel 76 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,199 I'm so sorry 77 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Sorry crew, it's okay. I'm too old to understand it. I don't know what 78 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,120 All right, that's your gnt now time for some shots 79 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,920 So you've all got a shot glass of something beside you. So Alan having a look at yours. What do you think it might be? 80 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,600 Do you want me to drink it? Have a taste? Yes. Have a taste a taste 81 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,560 I mean, is it if I drank it all would I die? No, I'm not allowed to kill you 82 00:07:56,149 --> 00:07:58,149 Sounds to me like you've said that before 83 00:07:59,829 --> 00:08:02,750 Say the contract this year has been particularly tricky to negotiate 84 00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:11,370 What's it taste of I just see I just drank that what no idea what it is any thoughts of what it tastes it tastes 85 00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:13,930 I'm getting 86 00:08:13,930 --> 00:08:20,100 I'm getting gravel from the a1 side of a wardrobe 87 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:24,180 It's as close as we can get to what the gladiators used to drink 88 00:08:24,339 --> 00:08:29,620 So they coiffed a drink which was made from ash vinegar and water in order to help 89 00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:32,220 Are you enjoying it more or less now? 90 00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:36,019 Basically what you're drinking there is a burnt-down chip shop 91 00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:51,019 Savalois 92 00:08:51,019 --> 00:08:57,620 What we know is the gladiators were mostly vegetarian. They had a diet of lots of lentils and lots of beans 93 00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:01,120 We know this from QI is great friend Pliny the elder 94 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,500 I have to say things he wrote we have to take them a little bit of a pinch of salt because he also said 95 00:09:05,899 --> 00:09:10,820 Drinking bulls blood cures snake bites and turnips provoke lust. I can't argue with that 96 00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:20,059 These are kind of early energy drinks and the nearest we can find to the kind of ash thing is activated charcoal shots 97 00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:25,620 And people do drink them now and adherents say it's fantastic for I don't hangovers increasing your energy 98 00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:29,539 I have to warn you that it can cause constipation and make your poo black 99 00:09:33,659 --> 00:09:38,740 Okay, so a little bit of ash for you let's come on to Phil so charioteers 100 00:09:39,419 --> 00:09:43,700 This I'm straight away malt vinegar right out of the trap. Okay some more vinegar 101 00:09:47,929 --> 00:09:49,929 It tastes like watered-down 102 00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:55,250 Malt vinegar, but I'm getting them a bit of a salty back end on it. Yeah, so well 103 00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:06,049 Had we been able to do this properly a salty back end is exactly what's missing because what they drank 104 00:10:06,289 --> 00:10:10,409 Was indeed vinegar which had been watered down, but it also had dung in it, which would be 105 00:10:12,009 --> 00:10:18,090 Sorted down back end right there. So what is in this is only this is just posca which is vinegar and water 106 00:10:18,090 --> 00:10:22,370 It would have lots of good calories and it would have been perfectly healthy thing good for your gutter and so on 107 00:10:22,529 --> 00:10:25,330 Even Nero who fancied himself as a charioteer 108 00:10:25,570 --> 00:10:30,649 He swore by a good old draught of pig dung and vinegar to help you with your recovery 109 00:10:31,289 --> 00:10:40,740 Did you like it? I'm gonna go through a period where people were using ash to cook things 110 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:43,179 I don't know where they did it intentionally 111 00:10:43,179 --> 00:10:48,419 but certainly there'd been a lot of ash around and people have often used ash to preserve cheeses and 112 00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:52,779 Berry cheese in ash. I think babies were given it for something 113 00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,059 That's when they used to be allowed to smoke fags 114 00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,120 When they had a cup of tea in their bottles, you know 115 00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:11,259 Brandy on the lips my man used to put a shot of brandy in the baby's milk 116 00:11:11,620 --> 00:11:14,419 That's a shot. You're a baby. You've had a brandy 117 00:11:15,179 --> 00:11:17,179 Sorry, you're saying it's me. Look at me 118 00:11:18,019 --> 00:11:20,019 Thanks, Nan 119 00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:23,419 She just wanted you to shut up and go to sleep quite right 120 00:11:24,299 --> 00:11:30,860 Right Joe, let's have a go with you looks like liquid hopelessness to me 121 00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:38,830 Do you like it? It tastes like ginger beer. It is just ginger my darling 122 00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:44,590 It's a stimulant ginger wherever it's been available has been used as it not as a medicine as a medicine 123 00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:51,029 Here's the thing. If you drank that how would you feel about drinking from a toilet bowl? Love it. Well 124 00:11:51,830 --> 00:11:56,629 One of the weirdest things about drinking ginger is apparently it suppresses feelings of disgust 125 00:11:56,789 --> 00:12:03,110 So they did a study in 2019 in the Journal of the American Psychological Association. Maybe I'll have sex with me husband tonight 126 00:12:03,669 --> 00:12:12,519 See your wife having a ginger ale before bed 127 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,649 I'll just get me back 128 00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:25,539 Disgusting things like snot in a napkin or something you would feel you have that on some toast 129 00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:30,580 If you have the ginger first apparently you don't feel as disgusted 130 00:12:31,059 --> 00:12:35,779 Somehow the ginger suppresses the disgust. I quite like the concept of snot on a napkin 131 00:12:37,379 --> 00:12:39,620 Sounds like an upmarket restaurant 132 00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:44,580 And have a snow on a napkin 133 00:12:45,299 --> 00:12:47,700 All right, let's have a go you better have a ginger ale first 134 00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:52,740 What can you smell? 135 00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:55,620 It gave it a sniff to see that professional. Oh, yes 136 00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:59,460 I have no idea what this is, but I have drunk it before 137 00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:11,929 It's a modern energy drink. Do you don't like the taste of it? Well, it's a bit sweet what it's the crack 138 00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:18,649 Sugar and caffeine and something called taurine which is supposed to be even more stimulating than caffeine 139 00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:22,889 They're pretty much all that I have it all i'll be jumping high as a kite darling high as a kite 140 00:13:25,529 --> 00:13:27,769 So these are all energy drinks from a long time ago 141 00:13:27,769 --> 00:13:29,850 This is the most modern one that we've come to here 142 00:13:30,330 --> 00:13:36,730 The money made by it is more than the fragrance and cannabis market combined. It is worth an absolute fortune 143 00:13:36,970 --> 00:13:41,850 And since it's absolutely stuffed full of sugar. Yeah, all it's doing is making you fat your point 144 00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:44,330 being 145 00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:51,980 What might you want to have done with your own ashes if you don't want to turn it into a drink 146 00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:53,980 What could you do with your own ashes any thoughts? 147 00:13:54,779 --> 00:13:55,740 Oh, yeah 148 00:13:56,059 --> 00:13:58,059 You say you leave it in your work you say when I 149 00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:00,940 Firework you can be turned into a jewel 150 00:14:01,019 --> 00:14:05,419 Yeah, but your manner of so my favorite thing is that you can turn the ashes of a loved one 151 00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:07,980 into a drinking cup 152 00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:14,940 So I love this because you could theoretically drink an ash drink for energy out of the ashes of somebody you loved who is dead 153 00:14:15,899 --> 00:14:20,379 I know it's quite weird, isn't it? Apparently you can also make them into a tattoo. What? Yes 154 00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:25,019 What they make it into ink and turn it into a tattoo. It can be made into a pencil lead 155 00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:27,340 Cuddly toy, there's no end 156 00:14:27,899 --> 00:14:31,659 I could be a pencil lead. Well, i'm 56. Oh the irony 157 00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:36,950 I think you could be a whole set of pencils 158 00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:41,750 Right drinks away, please 159 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:48,789 Time to go from quaffing to scoffing, but we are staying with the letter q. Can you name a cereal crop that begins with 160 00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:50,870 a q 161 00:14:51,909 --> 00:14:53,669 Yes 162 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:59,110 Quaker oats quaker oats is as close as we were able to find ourselves. You are exactly right 163 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:10,919 It's not quinoa because I think quinoa isn't a grass. It is not a grain. It's a seed 164 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,320 It's a seed so strictly speaking it cannot be classified as a cereal and in fact, you know 165 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,000 It's good news for the ashkenazi jews. For example, they're not allowed to eat grains over Passover 166 00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,600 Where they can eat quinoa bad luck to them. It tastes shit 167 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:33,240 I always think it's one of those foods that you need to add actual food to it to make it taste like a cake. Yeah 168 00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:39,350 Do you have quinoa? Of course it has. Do you like it? No 169 00:15:40,549 --> 00:15:43,029 It's annoying on your plate. It's annoying in your mouth 170 00:15:43,909 --> 00:15:49,190 Irritating stuff. Have you cooked with it? Yeah, of course i've cooked with it. You like it? Yeah, I like it 171 00:15:49,190 --> 00:15:52,950 But I agree with you it needs help. Here's the thing about quinoa. It's a super food 172 00:15:53,029 --> 00:15:57,269 It contains a lot more protein than most plants plenty of iron high in vitamin e 173 00:15:57,750 --> 00:16:05,350 It also has all 10 amino acids needed to support human life. I mean I say this in fairness haribo contains nine 174 00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:13,269 So-called building blocks. I really want to believe that. That is true. Yeah haribo has nine of the building blocks in life 175 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,509 Haribo a day keeps the doctor away 176 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:23,669 But if you've had a quinoa only diet you'd have anemia I think you'd probably have scurvy you wouldn't be able to clot blood 177 00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:24,710 It's not a good idea 178 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:31,509 But it does contain another q quercetin and that is very good antiviral anti-cancer anti-inflammatory antidepressant 179 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:36,549 I mean it has lots of good stuff in it. Here's what does quinoa. Yeah, it has lots of good stuff in it 180 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:40,870 Yeah, it's got antidepressants in it and you look at it and feel like killing yourself 181 00:16:41,830 --> 00:16:50,700 It's all carol vorderman's fault is it yeah, well she wrote the first cookery book that's had quinoa in it 182 00:16:51,179 --> 00:16:53,659 I remember it. Well, I wept that day 183 00:16:56,299 --> 00:16:58,299 Whatever happened to semolina 184 00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:02,539 I agree with you. What's that? That's gone. Nobody uses semolina 185 00:17:03,259 --> 00:17:08,859 Do you if you make a pie and it's likely to have a soggy bottom? Yes, i'm listening 186 00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:15,819 If you put a layer of semolina in the bottom of the pie it will soak up those juices and you'll have a nice 187 00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:21,740 Crisp non-soggy bottom and you won't taste it. You won't taste the semolina. It's just wheat. So it's just like pastry. I love that 188 00:17:22,059 --> 00:17:27,339 Uh, anybody know what quinoa plant looks like? Yeah, I went to bolivia. I saw quinoa fields 189 00:17:27,579 --> 00:17:31,660 It is actually rather beautiful. It's got colors which come from a type of pigment called betalin 190 00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:36,539 It's the same chemical gives beetroot its color. Isn't it? It's rather lovely also contains suppanins 191 00:17:36,539 --> 00:17:42,299 Which are soap-like chemicals and in fact andean cultures use those soapy husks as shampoo 192 00:17:43,019 --> 00:17:48,859 And nasa are looking at quinoa as a possible food for long space missions.

How dare you? 285 00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:29,039 You 286 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:41,549 I point out i'm much heavier than joe. I'll slaughter her in a fasting competition. It's not a competition, but do do 287 00:27:42,589 --> 00:27:45,950 These reserves are yes, of course, we would last longer. Yeah. Yeah 288 00:27:46,509 --> 00:27:51,390 Do you think I don't know that's necessarily true. I think it depends on your metabolism and then yeah your abilities is 289 00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:52,029 Available. Yeah 290 00:27:52,029 --> 00:27:57,390 So how long do you think you would last because if you could last for a very long time you could make thousands and thousands 291 00:27:58,190 --> 00:28:02,829 A year there was a guy called giovanni. Suchi. He was paid more than a quarter of a million pounds 292 00:28:03,309 --> 00:28:09,470 Back in 1890. He lasted 40 days on the stage in london and afterwards he had missed eating so much 293 00:28:09,549 --> 00:28:11,549 He went on to found pringles 294 00:28:13,150 --> 00:28:16,349 What we now reckon is uh, it doesn't matter about your initial body weight 295 00:28:16,430 --> 00:28:19,470 You'll probably last eight to 12 weeks. Okay, all of us would be about the same 296 00:28:19,630 --> 00:28:21,950 Um, but this fad it started in 1880 297 00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:25,630 There was a doctor called henry tanner and he bet that he could live on water for 40 days 298 00:28:25,710 --> 00:28:30,829 And he made an absolute fortune from people just coming to stare at him. There was a woman called molly fluncher 299 00:28:30,829 --> 00:28:33,069 She was also known as the brooklyn enigma 300 00:28:33,470 --> 00:28:37,869 And she claimed she had psychic abilities due to starvation and she was challenged 301 00:28:38,269 --> 00:28:43,150 To do it for 40 days with round-the-clock observation by doctors, but she said the doctors are bound to be male 302 00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:44,910 I'm not going to do it 303 00:28:44,910 --> 00:28:51,950 Because you know modesty would prevent me from doing this. The truth is on the whole it was discovered people had been secretly eating 304 00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:56,589 Anybody remember the last one in uh, sort of in popular always david blaine in the box 305 00:28:56,750 --> 00:28:59,869 Yeah, he did 44 days in the box. I went to see him. Did you go and see him? 306 00:29:00,029 --> 00:29:02,509 Well, I went it was quite late at night and people throwing eggs at him 307 00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:09,869 How long would you last if you just it without water though, not anywhere near as long 308 00:29:09,869 --> 00:29:13,069 I mean you must have so yeah, you must have some hydration of some kind 309 00:29:13,470 --> 00:29:15,789 There's a rule of three. You can survive three hours without shelter 310 00:29:15,789 --> 00:29:19,470 You can survive three days without water and three weeks without food is the sort of rule of three 311 00:29:19,470 --> 00:29:22,990 What was the first one you can survive three hours without shelter? 312 00:29:23,630 --> 00:29:25,630 This cricket match is longer than that 313 00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:33,630 I mean the one that is extraordinary is the breatharian diet. Does anybody know what the breatharian diet is? Is it breathing air? 314 00:29:33,869 --> 00:29:38,589 Just that literally just that there's this thing prana which you're supposed to live on 315 00:29:38,670 --> 00:29:41,789 It's a sanskrit word and it translates as life air or life force 316 00:29:42,269 --> 00:29:46,190 Have you met a breatharian? I haven't I presume they're the only people I presume they're all dead 317 00:29:46,750 --> 00:29:48,269 I 318 00:29:48,269 --> 00:29:53,789 Claim to live purely off light and air. I would guess they're the only people can bore vegans at dinner parties 319 00:29:54,910 --> 00:29:56,910 Patrick Moore wrote a wonderful book called 320 00:29:56,910 --> 00:30:02,589 Can you speak venutian and he established that the leader of the breatharians did actually eat much like everybody else 321 00:30:02,750 --> 00:30:08,910 But not as well because all he was able to do was rely on places open very late at night when nobody saw him go 322 00:30:10,829 --> 00:30:13,789 Not eating a good diet definitely don't try it at home the garage 323 00:30:13,789 --> 00:30:18,349 And so that's basically pork pies and quavers in it 324 00:30:21,470 --> 00:30:22,910 Yeah 325 00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:25,950 What's the least amount of food anything can survive on any human? 326 00:30:26,269 --> 00:30:31,710 No, anything a a living being two percent of your body weight two percent of your body weight 327 00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:37,710 I mean, uh, we need at least 1200 calories. Don't we they're human beings only 1200 at three muffins 328 00:30:38,109 --> 00:30:40,109 A 329 00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:46,990 Team from the university of southern california has recently discovered microbes that genuinely seem to survive on almost nothing 330 00:30:46,990 --> 00:30:48,509 This is an astonishing story 331 00:30:48,509 --> 00:30:54,910 So the sediments of the pacific ocean they have been found living there and based on how much oxygen has depleted over the ages 332 00:30:55,230 --> 00:30:58,750 Researchers propose that they may have been alive for 75 333 00:30:59,710 --> 00:31:00,829 million 334 00:31:00,829 --> 00:31:04,670 Years, they've certainly been alive for an extraordinarily long period of time 335 00:31:04,829 --> 00:31:10,269 They don't do anything apart from really really slowly metabolizing really really small amounts of food 336 00:31:10,509 --> 00:31:13,309 What is extraordinary? So say they've been alive for 75 million 337 00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:19,470 Uh years that time if they can understand time will have passed really quickly 338 00:31:19,869 --> 00:31:25,009 For them because an animal's ability to perceive time is linked to the speed of its metabolism 339 00:31:25,390 --> 00:31:30,029 So imagine you've got a very fast metabolism. It sends signals to your brain much more quickly 340 00:31:30,269 --> 00:31:35,230 So a fly has very very fast metabolism, uh, so signals go to the brain incredibly quickly 341 00:31:35,309 --> 00:31:38,829 So a newspaper coming at it seems to move rather slowly 342 00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:42,349 And that means that the fly can get away much more quickly never can swat them 343 00:31:42,509 --> 00:31:47,390 You've got a couple of 75 million year old microbes at the bottom of the pacific going where the dinosaur's gone 344 00:31:53,950 --> 00:31:56,430 Well, he's evolved she's evolved 345 00:31:57,390 --> 00:31:59,789 They all evolve he's gone on land now 346 00:32:01,069 --> 00:32:05,630 Here we are still at the starting gate. What's going wrong with us? Do you remember that comet? 347 00:32:07,549 --> 00:32:09,549 Which one 348 00:32:14,509 --> 00:32:16,589 Anyway 75 million isn't that astonishing? 349 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:20,109 Now what would newlyweds do with these? 350 00:32:21,069 --> 00:32:22,670 That's got to be 351 00:32:22,670 --> 00:32:28,750 A love apple of some sort. It's certainly associated with love. We're in the letter q so it's a fruit beginning with quince 352 00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:30,670 It is a quince 353 00:32:30,670 --> 00:32:32,670 from ancient greek times 354 00:32:32,670 --> 00:32:35,470 Right up to the present day been associated with love and marriage 355 00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:42,829 And in fact in the sixth century bc the athenian lawmaker solon decreed that during the wedding every bride and bridegroom shall 356 00:32:42,829 --> 00:32:49,630 Be shut into a chamber and eat a quince together.

It's stuffed full of sugar and it's cooked for a very long time 358 00:32:55,869 --> 00:33:00,750 It's lovely but very unkind to make them eat. They must have been desperate to get on with matters 359 00:33:01,789 --> 00:33:05,789 I mean certainly in terms of a british food until the 19th century all fruit was cooked 360 00:33:05,869 --> 00:33:08,670 It was regarded as very bad for your system to eat anything 361 00:33:09,309 --> 00:33:15,150 That was raw the ancient greeks have a story that quince trees sprung up wherever aphrodite the goddess of love 362 00:33:15,390 --> 00:33:17,390 And had a wee walked 363 00:33:17,789 --> 00:33:22,609 Her father uranus was castrated by his son cronus 364 00:33:23,069 --> 00:33:29,069 And the genitals uranus genitals were thrown into the sea and the foam created by the genitals 365 00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:33,710 Out of that rose aphrodite. In fact, if you look at the wikipedia page on aphrodite 366 00:33:33,789 --> 00:33:36,670 Her parents are listed as uranus's severed genitals, which is 367 00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:41,069 Anybody think of a famous poem with quince in it 368 00:33:41,390 --> 00:33:47,789 Are they dined on mints and slices of quince it's up with a ransomable spoon by snoop dog 369 00:33:51,099 --> 00:33:56,240 Anybody know what a runcible spoon is a spoon formerly owned by the archbishop of canterbury 370 00:34:00,059 --> 00:34:03,339 No, it's not anything he made it up it just it just fitted in the poem 371 00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:08,159 Up until the 16th century quince was considered to be an aphrodisiac 372 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,840 It really has had this tremendous reputation 373 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,119 And now really not popular at all is it in fact quite difficult to get hold of I think if you have a tree 374 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,000 Produces so many of them. You don't know what to do with it 375 00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:24,000 But they are wonderful because they make everything set if you want 376 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:26,800 Apple pie to have that sort of nice jelly 377 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,920 bottom and if you want 378 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,679 To make any jam set shab some quince in that is that and medlar fruit 379 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:41,920 Which was the other fruit that was very popular particularly in medieval times, you know what the name for medlar is the victorian name 380 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,880 dog's ass 381 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:50,079 You look at the end of a medlar guess what it looks like does it look like just like a dog's ass 382 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,840 There's one street in london called medlar street where there are still some medlar trees 383 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,880 But I don't think anybody picks the fruit because people don't know what to do with it 384 00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,440 I would have preferred dog's ass street wouldn't you? 385 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,599 Generally people should pay more attention to quince's now for a question 386 00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:10,800 That may make you feel a little queasy. Where can you find the world's most disgusting food? 387 00:35:11,519 --> 00:35:14,800 What I think is interesting about that is that it depends where you are 388 00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:21,360 You're right. It is entirely to do with cultural context, but there is actually a disgusting food museum 389 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,079 Uh, it is in sweden. It is in marmo 390 00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:28,480 So what they have said the rules for the food that is allowed to be in the disgusting food museum 391 00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,599 They have to be considered disgusting by some people somewhere in the world 392 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,920 They have to be genuinely eaten by some people somewhere in the world as a choice 393 00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:39,840 Okay, so not through necessity and there mustn't be a food stuff that has been created 394 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:47,199 Just for tourists. So for example, they have bull testicles which in the united states are eaten as prairie oysters or rocky mountain oysters 395 00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,280 There are those the testicles issue ever like me had never seen them before 396 00:35:53,119 --> 00:36:00,320 Mongolian mary, which is a sheep's eye in tomato juice, which is regarded as a hangover cure in mongolia. That is a bull's penis there 397 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:06,400 And uh penis very popular in drinks.

Yes 405 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,719 It's the thing that I like about it 406 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:58,039 There's a huge number of people who visited, uh the museum and they report a drastic reduction in meat consumption after they've been to the museum 407 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,440 And vomiting has been a slight issue 408 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,599 Rather cleverly though. All tickets to the museum are printed on a sick bag 409 00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:10,199 Disgust is a it's a universal evolutionary function 410 00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:15,800 We need it in order to avoid disease and unsafe food and so on but what we find disgusting is not interesting 411 00:37:16,039 --> 00:37:19,159 I think we're all going to end up eating lots of insects. Yes 412 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,519 Because they're very nutritious before the knife is out 413 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:27,480 I don't know why we don't eat more rabbit in this country.
