Americans and Armenians Swap Snacks

I'm a new guard I'm leaving real quick get me a Bey honey hi my name is Joyce and I'm American hi my name is Tolar I'm Armenian American even though I grew up in America I grew up with a really strong army and culture like in my house my mom cooked every night Armenian food all the time have you ever had our meeting food before I don't think so probably not you know I'm just really excited to try these snacks because I know that I deserve a home in every single country and if I go to each country knowing what snacks I live then it's gonna be easier for me to find out that's all I want so let's bring in the snacks [Music] so this is a break this one is with say that again but egg blue egg yeah so it's basically like cheese and bread it's just a rendition of basically a grilled cheese okay well you know what a grilled cheesus oh yeah pretty great my dad taught me how to make a grilled cheese and of course to go to his craft American slices my mom never made grilled cheese sandwiches actually like I never had them growing up wait really yeah really we didn't even have American bread in her house we only had pita bread spread it for the best all right so let's slop okay okay this is the first time I got a full plate I'm so excited where can I get this I mean in bakery I'll hit you with something on the table please - this is insane sh-boom yeah and it's like really cheap I think they're like $1 for like a whole 100 dollar mm-hmm honey I'm bout to go to that Armenian line with my bread this is much more contained mm-hmm I think the grilled cheese it's because you have to put butter on the bread for it to brown right it's just it's just part of the process it's just like you're a basic I'm a good old American grilled cheese it tastes pretty good not something I really want to buy you know but you know I have to go with that one ah that's just like that's like home for me so yeah I prefer the Buddha this is easier to make but this I feel like is just if you have some which is easier to heat up and have your psyche I'm sure awesome cheese and bread so this is called ton it's basically like an army and yogurt drink they sell it at army and bakeries you usually drink it with the buttocks or like something called lama-june which is like a Armenian Pizza almost like a flatbread like just imagine Greek yogurt plain love it water okay salt hmm and you just yogurt drink interesting this is what you Bonnie yogurt drink it's why I like a yogurt but I feel like strawberry banana is a pretty failsafe flavor all right here you go it looks like milk it's a lot more watery but I think I was expecting for a yogurt drink you like it I do it's st. more savory than I thought it was gonna be and I think they put salt in it it's like a smoothie oh it's super salty you I can see why this would be good on a hot summer day maybe like I like it after a workout mm-hmm mm-hmm which I definitely do old yeah this was actually really good it tastes like your standard strawberry banana yogurt except it's a drink this is great as a snack I wouldn't just like pulled a ton out and drink it on its own but I would this one I think I wouldn't just pick this up and drink it it doesn't really evoke like any feelings for me but it says protein rich so it just says rich so you don't really ever and you never know if I had to choose I'd go with that guy like so much there's so much nostalgia if I had to probably the true bonds I like this one look at this we're choosing the other sides I love unity fruit strap oh yeah baby these babies alright this is like basically a fruit bar so in Armenia they call it la bas check the one you're trying today is pomegranates okay this was like the norm when I was a kid like kids would come to school with fruit roll-ups I'd come to school with my fruit leathers I mean we got a rollup everyone knows that's the classic the best ones to get were the ones that had tattoos on them because then you just take it kind of like on your tongue wow this whole bar oh this one is a tattoo ones is it yeah I mean it's not a shade queen issue I am a fruit leather fan yeah this is very tart but it's probably more natural probably way up here like my family calls it la vache but the other name for it is lavash tattoo and tattoo literally means sour mmm yeah two two two this is a classic I had it in my lunchbox at school you definitely like taste how sugary it is and like how processed it is whereas those you could tell it's homemade you could tell it's fresh you can tell it's mean I have real fruits oh no don't rip it okay there it is I forgot these things existed for a while I'm so happy this makes me feel like a little piece of a little piece of and then the fruit part is that I think it was just not what I was expecting so I didn't change my expectations a little bit I'll go with that one this one I'm gonna get sick of eating like almost immediately even after making a tongue tattoo this one is the kind of thing like you tear a piece you eat it you down you can come back to it this one's like you open it and you're basically that's it I like the flavor of this but I love what this represents to me that's fair [Music] this is called a born chick okay so it's basically like a doughnut except there's no like glaze on it um the most popular one has Nutella inside and people really love that usually when you get it at the store there's like different fillings you can get it with this is just a basic filling you can get it with an Oreo inside you can get it with Nutella inside when you eat it warm and get like you're biting into air first fast I hate donut really yeah it's very Safari I don't think I've ever met somebody that food so I don't like that but everyone looks so nice it's an American classic and we're in America so this is the original glazed doughnut it's not from Krispy Kreme you got your your fried dough with a full punched in it and then your sugar stuff on top of it now what's gonna sway to sweet [Music] our fully perfect it's really good there's a fantastic huh and this isn't not fantastic I mean I love a donut I really do love a donut this doll is pretty good it's a donut everybody loves Donuts except her apparently but yeah I do I do like those better they're so good when they're like warm and like I don't know I like the feeling and bite especially like in chocolate try the chocolate one no this is really the perfect dessert you heard it here first folks mhm a perfect dessert it's so good I came in was like this is gonna be good food always looks good when I Drive past it all the time all the pretty photos but snacks are actually amazing and perfectly sweet perfectly favorite never too much never too little it's amazing like they know what they're doing I feel like here we're just kind of like you know literally and figuratively most people make these things at home like the bone cheese they make at home the ton you can make at home the bed eggs you can definitely make at home Armenian food is fantastic that yogurt drink is like it's an acquired taste but I can see why it everyone loves it I'm flying to Armenia it's time to get

Nice video, but in my opinion there are more authentic Armenian snacks they could have chosen to present. Gata, gatnabour, and choreg would have been better...

Jesus, couldn’t they find a more boring bunch?

They missed the chance to poke fun at "chobani" and the similar sounding Armenian word
