I think food is such a great subject, such an interesting subject. I mean, food is something that everyone has to do. It's a life necessity, and actually because of that it can be a real hassle, like when you have to eat when you're hungry but you really can't be bothered to make anything. You can't go out and buy anything. You don't have the money to go out and buy anything is the worst thing, but when you're not in that situation food is great. Um, I'm just sort of thinking over all the different types of food I've eaten throughout my life and the sort of real spread, range of food, throughout different countries. I mean, I come from England where, I wouldn't say England really had a very specific scene of it's own. I think, you know, very nice English restaurant food is probably more like French restaurant food. The only sort of staple things that everyone knows comes from England are obviously Fish and Chips which actually, normal English people don't eat that much of. I probably eat Fish and Chips 3 times a year. Maybe if I lived a bit further north, I'd eat it once a week, but that is known as the sort of number one English dish. Although that's really junk food, and I think a good roast with gravy , Yorkshire pudding, baked potatoes. I see that as proper English food, but just thinking, now living in Japan, the difference between the food in England and the food in Japan, and then I've been brought up very much on like Chinese food as well. My mom always cooked lots of Chinese food, and in England of course, the number one favorite food is Indian curry, and all these different foods are so, so different from each other, just flavors, what you use, I mean, cooking here, is really depressing when it gets to about 7 o'clock in the evening here, cause I go down in the guest house I'm living in, and I walk into the kitchen area, and just the whole area smells amazing from where all the Japanese residents are cooking their normal Japanese meal, which are totally normal to them, but to a foreigner, they seem like these amazingly elaborate meals where I'm sure, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding would seem the same to a Japanese person, but it's a pity really that sort of countries aren't more, sort of aware of sharing their food with each other. I mean when I get back to England, I'm gonna be in a whole load of trouble cause all the food I eat here, all the ingredients that I need, you can only get in Japan: they're specific Japanese vegetables, or in Asia at least, and I'm gonna have to get to very specific supermarkets to get even half the stuff I want and all the things like the nice vegetables I won't be even able to buy.

我认为食物是一个非常棒的主题,一个非常有趣的主题。我的意思是,食物是所有人都需要的东西。它是生活必需品,实际上那也是一件麻烦事,因为你肚子的时候要吃东西,可是你却懒得去做饭。你不能出去吃饭,也不能去买吃的。你没有钱去外面吃,没有钱去买吃的东西,这是最糟糕的事情,但是如果你不处于这种情况,那食物就是非常棒的东西了。我只是回想我人生中吃过的各种食物,食物的范围,食物的种类,不同国家的食物。我是说,我来自英国,我认为英国的食物并没有自己独特的地方。我认为,你知道,一家非常棒的英国餐厅的食物可能更像法国餐厅的食物。大家认为英国最基本的食物显然是鱼类和薯条,实际上这两种食物,对普通英国人来说并不会食用太多。我一年可能吃三次鱼和薯条。也许,如果我住在更靠北的地方,我可能一周吃一次,但是这两样却被认为是英国排在首位的食物。而实际上它们都是垃圾食品,我认为烤肉配肉汁,约克夏布丁,烤土豆,这才是真正的英国食物,但是现在我生活在日本,我会想英国食物与日本食物的不同,而我在很大程度上,是吃中国食物长大的。我妈妈总是会烹饪很多的中国食物,而当然在英国,最受欢迎的食物是印度咖喱,所有这些不同的事物,彼此之间完全不同,你使用的调料就不同,当时间大约到了晚上七点以后,在日本做饭就变得让人沮丧,因为,我下楼走到我住的客房的厨房,那里弥漫着香味,所有日本居民都在烹饪普通的日本食物,这些食物对他们来说很普通,但是对一个外国人来说,这些是非常精致的饭菜,当然我确定,像烤牛肉和约克夏布丁对日本人来说也是一样的有吸引力,但是非常遗憾的是,这些国家并没有互相分享食物的意识。我是说,我回到英国的时候,我会有很多麻烦,因为我在日本吃的所有食物,需要的所有配料,都只有日本才有:他们都是日本特有的蔬菜,或至少是亚洲特有的,我只能去特定的超市买到我所需物品的一部分,而所有这些优质的蔬菜我都买不到。
