Hello, I'm Mr. Ballam.

Thanks for choosing this lesson.

Today we're going to be looking at familiar and unfamiliar foods to me or to you.

So let's get started.

Well, what are we going to learn by going through this lesson? Well, you are going to be able to describe the appearance and the taste of foods which are unfamiliar to you, I hope.

Let's look at some keywords that we're gonna use in this lesson.

So the first one is cutlery.

You've probably heard that word before.

And cutlery is a knife, a fork, and a spoon for eating food.

How about chopsticks? Have you heard that word before? I'm sure many of you have.

And these are two thin sticks that are used to eat food, just using one hand.

Well, how about sensory words? That sounds good, doesn't it? It sounds amazing.

But these are words which we use to describe the appearance, the smell and taste of food.

So senses, sensory.

And the last word is utensils.

And these are different tools which we use for eating as well as cooking.

So let's get started.

So the first part of the lesson is all around dishes and meals from around the world.

But there's a wide range of dishes and meals cooked and eaten around the world.

Just look at this photo.

Doesn't the food look amazing? So colourful.

And the dishes and meals use different types of ingredients.

So different types of food.

And they are cooked differently, and they can also be served and eaten differently as well.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So is this true or false? There is a wide range of dishes and meals cooked and eaten around the world.

Yes, that's true, isn't it? And why is that? Well, there is a wide range of dishes.

We've just seen them, haven't we? And the dishes use different types of ingredients and different ways of cooking are also used.

So there's a wide range of dishes and meals cooked and eaten around the world.

Well done if you got that correct.

Now, some dishes and meals will be familiar to you and there are lots of different reasons.

Let's just look at a few.

So it might be because it's your favourite.

What's your favourite meal? I bet you've all got one.

Or how about you eat them often? Perhaps with your family.

So that could be your favourite meal.

Or perhaps they are traditional as well.

Perhaps your family cooks them.

It's a traditional meal, perhaps from your culture.

Or it might be a celebration at different times of the year, but they're traditional to you.

Now, some foods that are familiar to you will be unfamiliar to others.

So what food is familiar to you? Can you tell me? Why don't you tell other people in the class? See which food is familiar to you, but also what food might be unfamiliar too.

So some dishes and meals will be unfamiliar to you, and there are lots of different reasons.

I mean, just look at this photo on the screen here.

Is this familiar or unfamiliar to you? I think for lots of you it would probably be unfamiliar, but I could be wrong.

So it might be that they use different types of ingredients, things that we haven't seen before, which are unfamiliar to us, or perhaps they're from a different country that we just haven't experienced yet.

Or perhaps they are cooked differently.

And there are lots of different ways of cooking.

So these foods will be unfamiliar to you, but they might be familiar to other people.

Hmm.

What types of foods would you like to try? Let me know.

What do people in your class think? Are there different foods that you would like to try but different to other people? I bet they are.

Now, although some dishes and meals look unfamiliar, they are all made from plants and animals, and dishes and meals contain a mix of these sorts of things.

So fruits and vegetables, and we all know we need to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Do you remember? Five a day.

But also we should have things like potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta, plus dairy and alternatives.

So that might be milk or a soy drink, for example.

And lastly, some things like beans, eggs, fish, or meat.

So although the dishes might look unfamiliar, they're a mix of these types of foods, these types of ingredients.

And using these types of ingredients, we can make lots of different types of dishes in the UK.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? That you've been listening.

So true or false? Unfamiliar dishes or meals cannot be made in the UK as they use unusual foods.

Is that true or false? Yes, that's false, isn't it? And why is that? Well, although the dishes and mill might look unfamiliar, they're all from plants and animals and can be made in the UK.

Well done.

So let's have a look at some foods which might be unfamiliar to you.

So at this dish here, this is from Turkey and it's called lahmacun.

And look at the shape of it.

It looks a bit like a pizza, doesn't it? And on top of it is meat and vegetables with some spices too.

Or how about this dish? I wonder what this is called.

Well, this is from Japan and it's called okonomiyaki.

And it's a type of savoury pancake with lots of different toppings.

So these foods might look unusual or look unfamiliar, but they use ingredients, foods that we know about.

So for example, the Turkish type pizza uses a bread base and it's got meat and vegetables; and the Japanese pancake, well, that uses wheat to make the pancake.

So those ingredients, those foods are familiar to us, although the dishes might look unfamiliar.

Let's look at a few more examples together, shall we? Or how about this food here? I wonder what this could be.

Well, this is from Bosnia and it's called a zeljanica.

Isn't it an amazing dish? And it's a type of traditional pie with spinach, cheese and eggs.

Well, they don't sound very unfamiliar, do they? But the name of the dish might do, but the foods, the ingredients it uses might be familiar to us, 'cause we might eat them all the time.

How about this one? Does this look strange? Do you know what this is called? Yes, it's called a haggis.

And it's from Scotland in the UK.

It's a savoury dish and different offal, onion, oats, herbs and spices are used to make haggis.

It's very traditional and lots of people like it.

Well, how about this dish here? I wonder what this is.

Well, this is called ackee and saltfish, and it's from Jamaica.

The saltfish is fried with the ackee, which is a type of fruit, with onions, chilies, tomatoes, and black pepper.

I bet it's absolutely delicious.

It looks amazing, doesn't it? Well, how about this one here? Wow, that looks unusual, doesn't it? Are those eggs? Yes.

This is from North Africa and it's called a shakshuka.

This is an amazing dish.

And it's got tomatoes, onions, peppers, spices, and the eggs.

Isn't that lovely? Sometimes people have it for breakfast too, but I think all these foods look amazing.

But isn't it great that they all use foods that are quite familiar to us, although the names are unfamiliar too? So let's have a quick check that you've been listening, shall we? So where is this dish from? Is it A, B or C? Yes, that's right.

It's from Scotland.

Do you remember what it's called? Yes, well done.

It's called a haggis.

So now I've got a task for you.

And remember we're looking at foods from around the world today, aren't we? So I want you to use books or the internet to help you.

And I want you to show me on the map where four different dishes come from around the world.

And I want you to name the dish and the country.

If you really want to as well, you can even draw a picture of it.

That would be brilliant too.

So pause the video, get your books, and get your internet searches ready, and look for some amazing dishes from around the world.

Come back soon.

So how did you get on? Let's look at an example together, shall we? There's so many dishes from so many different countries around the world, but let's just look at four.

So one of them is jollof rice, and that's from Nigeria in western Africa.

It's an amazing dish, very traditional in that area.

Or how about ceviche which is from Peru? Which is a type of cooked fish.

But rather than heat, they use citrus juice to cook it.

Wow, that sounds amazing, doesn't it? So there's Peru on the map, or how about somewhere from the UK? Yes, Cornish pasties.

Where are they from? Do you know? Yes, they're from Cornwall, aren't they? Congratulations.

And that's a traditional type of pasty from the UK.

And lastly, we've got a tandoori chicken from India.

And the name tandoori comes from the way it's cooked because they're cooked in a tandoor.

I'm sure you've come up with four brilliant answers of different types of dishes and meals from around the world from four different countries.

Well done to you.

So now let's move on to the second part of the lesson.

It's all about eating dishes and meals.

Mm, I think I like to do that.

So around the world, dishes and meals are eaten in lots of different ways.

Just look at the photos here, for example.

What are they using? Now, some ways might be familiar to you and other ways might be unfamiliar.

So some people, like you can see in the photo here, use a knife and fork, or other people might use chopsticks.

Which ones have you used before? And our food is served on different types of plates or in bowls, for example.

And then different utensils or sometimes our hands are used to eat the food.

So let's look at four examples here.

Mm, the food looks great, but like Laura's saying, what's being used to eat the food in these photos? Can you tell me? What do you think? Let's start with the one on the left hand side.

So, mm, that meal looks amazing.

And what are they using? Can you tell me? Yes, it's chopsticks, isn't it? They're using chopsticks to eat that delicious meal.

Well, how about the next one? That looks like a brilliant bowl of maybe tomato and red pepper soup.

And what would you use to eat the soup with? You wouldn't use chopsticks, would you? No.

Use a spoon.

Well done.

What about the next one? What are they using to eat the pizza? Yes, they're using their hands, aren't they? Although some people use a knife and fork.

And very lastly, mm, that meal looks delicious.

What would they use, do you think, to eat that meal? Yes, that's right.

You can see, can't you? There's a knife and a fork by the plate.

So well done.

So we use different types of utensils or sometimes our hands to eat different types of food.

So different utensils are used to eat food.

Let's have a look at some examples.

So the first one is different types of cutlery.

You've seen these before, I'm sure.

So the cutlery comprises a knife, a fork, and a spoon.

And there are lots of different styles of them.

Look at these ones here.

These are wooden disposable types of cutlery, but there are lots of different designs.

How about these? Yes, we've seen chopsticks already, haven't we? And these people are eating their meal here, which looks lovely, using chopsticks.

Or how about these here, can you see them? Just in the bottom right hand side of the photo? These are called sujeo, and these are from South Korea and they're different types of eating utensils and they have chopsticks as well as a long handled spoon.

Isn't that amazing? Look at that great food too.

So we use different types of utensils to eat food.

Have you used chopsticks before? I bet some of you have.

So let's just have another quick check, shall we? So what types of utensils are being used here? Is it A, B, or C? Yes, that's right.

It's C, isn't it? It's chopsticks.

Chopsticks are being used here to eat the food.

Well done to you.

So other types of utensils include: things like skewers, for example.

So we might have a kebab on a skewer and we might eat it from that.

Look at these beautiful canapes here with the cocktail stick pressed right into the food so we can eat it really easily.

Have you used any of these? So other types of utensils we could use are things like a tong and fork, which look quite amazing, don't they? I wonder what they're eating.

Snails.

Wow.

Yes, so the tong is used to hold the shell of the snail and the fork is used to go inside and pull it out.

Usually they're with garlic butter as well.

What about a honey dipper? Have you seen one of those before? I wonder what that dips in.

Hmm? Yes, of course.

It's honey, isn't it? And if you look really closely, you can see that honey dipper has been in the honey.

Mm, delicious.

Or how about a drinking straw? With a.

Yes, a drink.

So again, these are different ways that we might eat or drink our food.

Have you seen any of these before? Perhaps you might have used some.

Have you had snails? Dipped honey? You've probably used a straw before.

And sometimes we eat food with our hands as well.

So we might eat sandwiches and fruit, for example, using our hands.

Or perhaps curry and rice? In lots of different countries, rice and curry is eaten just using the hand.

Or perhaps a pizza.

We can eat a pizza by hand, but also we could use a knife and fork.

So what other food can we eat by hand? Hmm? There's probably quite a few still, aren't there? Have a little think and let me know.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So which of these foods could you eat by hand? Is it A, B, or C? Yes, that's right.

It's A, isn't it? You could eat the sandwiches and fruit using your hands.

I think soup might be quite messy.

And as for the noodles and vegetables, again, I think that would be messy too.

But A is the correct answer.

Well done.

So I've got another task for you here, and I want you to help me and suggest to Laura and Lucas what they can use to eat or drink these foods.

So what's Laura saying? Hmm? "I might be able to eat these foods in different ways." Oh, I wonder what she's suggesting there? What about Lucas? "I want to use chopsticks where I can." Hmm.

I think that's a big hint, don't you? So have a think, look at the photographs carefully and decide what they can use to eat or drink those different types of foods.

Good luck.

Pause the video and we'll come back very soon.

Okay, so how did you get on? Let's look at some examples, shall we? So we're gonna start on the top left hand side.

Oh, the pizza.

Yes, they're using their hands, but could they use anything else? Yes, could use a knife and fork, couldn't they? How about the next one? Yes, the juice.

The apple juice.

We could use a straw.

I don't think using chopsticks or a knife and fork would be very helpful, would it? How about the soup? Yes, a spoon.

I think that's the best bet there.

Mm, that roast dinner looks lovely, and yes, I would use a knife and fork to eat that.

How about the next one? What might be used there? There's a bit of a hint in the photograph.

And do you remember what Lucas said? Yes, that's right, chopsticks.

You could use chopsticks, but sometimes people could also use a knife and fork.

Now how about the last one? Yes, that's right.

You could use your hands to eat that delicious curry and rice.

But also you could use a knife and fork.

So there are different utensils or our hands that we can use to eat different types of food and drinks.

Well done to you.

You're doing really well today.

So now let's move on to the last part of the lesson, which is all about describing dishes and meals.

So the appearance, the smell and the taste of food can be described.

So to describe the food, we use our senses.

So we use our sight, so to look at the appearance; we use the sense of smell, well, to smell the food; we use a sense of taste to taste the food; and also we can detect the texture of the food.

So what it feels like in our mouth, for example.

And to describe the foods, we use sensory words, things like creamy, juicy, or crunchy.

So there are lots of different types of sensory words we can use to describe the foods that we eat.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So we use the sense of blank to describe the appearance of food.

So is it A, B, or C? Yes, that's right.

We use the sense of sight, don't we? We use the sense of sight to describe the appearance of food, using our eyes.

Well done, everybody.

So we can describe the appearance of food using different types of sensory words.

So here's just some that we're going to look at together.

It looks round, it looks creamy.

It looks sticky.

It looks burnt.

It is yellow.

Hmm.

What's Andeep asking here? He's asking us to name a food and describe its appearance.

Hmm.

Can you do that? Think about all the different foods that you've had.

Can you name the food and describe its appearance? Well, it could be round, so maybe it's an orange? It could be creamy.

Mm, custard.

It looks sticky.

Oh, could be jam? It looks burnt.

Hmm, that's probably my toast.

And this is yellow.

Hmm? Banana.

So there are lots of words that we can use to describe the appearance of food.

Lots of sensory words.

Let's also have a look at the sensory words for smell.

Let's look at some examples.

It smells fruity.

It smells spicy.

It smells strong.

It smells burnt.

It smells cheesy.

So can you name a food and describe its smell? I bet you can come up with lots of different examples.

So for example, if it smells fruity, well perhaps that's a fruit salad or perhaps a delicious apple.

Or it smells spicy.

Perhaps that's a lovely chilli con carne.

Or it smells strong.

Hmm, I've opened that strong cheddar cheese.

Or how about it smells burnt? Oh, that's my toast again.

Or it smells cheesy.

Hmm.

Maybe that's a really cheesy pizza.

So we can use sensory words to describe the smell of different types of foods.

Well done.

You're doing really well today.

Well, how about the taste and the texture of food? What sensory words could we use for those? Let's look at a few examples, shall we? It tastes fruity.

Its texture is soft.

Its texture is crunchy.

Or how about it tastes salty? It tastes spicy, or the texture is smooth.

So there are lots of different types of sensory words.

Can you name a food and describe its taste and texture? Well, for example, it tastes fruity.

Perhaps that's a really lovely, fruity apple crumble.

The texture is soft.

Well, maybe that's a type of cake that could be soft? Or the texture is crunchy.

Perhaps that's some really lovely carrots.

Or it tastes salty.

Hmm.

I wonder what that could be? Oh, maybe that's some crisps or some snacks.

It tastes spicy.

Hmm.

That might be a delicious type of curry that I've had.

And lastly, the texture is smooth.

Perhaps that's a lovely fruit smoothie I've made.

So again, there are lots of types of sensory words we can use to describe the taste and texture of food.

We can also describe the intensity of how a food looks, smell or tastes.

So for example, we might describe a food of saying it looks pale green.

Or perhaps another type of food, we could say it looks bright green.

Hmm, maybe Lucas is describing an apple, for example.

Or how about it looks a little crumbly or it looks very crumbly.

So you can see here our words are helping us to describe the intensity of it.

So whether it's pale or bright green or a little or very crumbly, we're using sensory words to describe the food.

And for smell, what's Sam saying here? It has a mild curry smell, or perhaps it has a strong curry smell.

So you can see the intensity has changed there from mild to strong.

Or perhaps it has a subtle fishy smell through to it has an extremely fishy smell.

So again, we can see how the intensity changes from subtle to extremely.

So these are different types of sensory words we can use to describe the smell.

Or how about the taste and texture? So for example, here, Jacob is saying, "It has a mild chilli taste." And then it has a strong chilli taste.

Or how about it has a thin, creamy texture or a thick, creamy texture.

So again, they are describing the intensity from mild chilli to strong chilli, to thin creamy to thick and creamy.

We can describe the intensity of different types of foods.

Well done.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So which of these words would you use to describe an intense taste? Is it A, B, or C? Read the words really carefully.

Yes, that's right.

It is B, isn't it? The words strong, very or extreme.

Well done.

So here's a task for you here.

And your teacher today is going to give you four different types of foods to try.

I don't know what they're going to be, but I want you to describe the appearance, the smell, and the taste of all of them.

And I want you to think about using some really good sensory words.

So for example, for one food, you could say, "I am tasting.

." whatever it might be.

And "it has a yellow appearance," for example.

Or perhaps "it has a strong smell," or perhaps "it has a spicy taste." So good luck.

Work with your teacher and try the four different foods and we'll look at an example together very soon.

So use lots of describing words.

Good luck.

So how did you get on? Let's look at an example together, shall we? Whoa, look at these.

I'm tasting a lime.

Ooh, have you had one of these before? It has a bright green appearance.

What brilliant sensory words.

It has a very fresh smell and has a strong sour taste.

How about this one? This is Jamaican hardo bread.

And it has a yellow appearance on the outside.

It has a buttery smell and a slightly sweet taste.

Well, I bet that was amazing.

Well, how about this one? An Indian dish called chana masala, and it has a dark brown appearance and a very spicy smell and a rich tomato taste.

Or how about this one, called mooli? Which is a type of Chinese radish.

It has a bright white appearance and a sweet smell and a peppery taste.

I'm sure you did brilliantly for whatever four foods that you tried and using your different types of sensory words.

Congratulations to you.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this lesson looking at familiar and unfamiliar foods to me or to you.

We've learned so much, haven't we? We've looked at so many different things.

Let's have a summary of what we've learned today.

So there is a wide range of dishes and meals cooked and eaten around the world.

And that although some of those dishes and meals look unfamiliar to us, they are all from plants and animals, using ingredients that are quite familiar to us often.

And also around the world, the dishes and meals are eaten in different ways, for example, using different types of utensils, cutlery, and chopsticks.

And lastly, we can use sensory words to describe the appearance, the smell, and the taste of food.

Well, I think you've done brilliantly today.

It's been such a great lesson and I hope you come back again very soon for another Cooking and Nutrition lesson.

Thanks a lot.

Bye!.
