In animation, a cat and a dog chop the words "Kid Diners" out of food on a cutting board.
Kids shout WE WONDER!
Xander says I'M XANDER, RIGHT NOW ON
KID DINERS, AYNALEM AND I
ARE IN RIDING MOUNTAIN
NATIONAL PARK IN MANITOBA.
AYNALEM'S ON THE
HUNT FOR SOME BEETS.
BEATS, BEATS, BEATS.
BUT NOT THE MUSICAL KIND.
AND I MEET SOME PIGS.
YOU'RE WATCHING KID DINERS.
On an animated Canada shaped chopping board, a hand puts a pin on Riding Mountain.
Different kids appear inside an animated plate.
MY a blond boy says FAVOURITE VEGETABLE
IS BROCCOLI AND CARROTS.
A blond girl says I LIKE CARROTS, LETTUCE, ALL
DIFFERENT KINDS OF LETTUCE.
A boy with an high top afro says I LIKE HELPING MY
DAD BARBECUE CHICKEN.
A girl with brown hair in a bob cut says BACON.
Aynalem says WE'RE IN MANITOBA AT RIDING
MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK.
Xander comes out from behind a tree and says ARAH, I'M A BEAR, ARAH,
TIME FOR A COOKOUT, RAH.
Aynalem says THAT'S XANDER, NOT A
BEAR, BUT HE IS RIGHT,
LET'S GO FOR A COOKOUT.
Xander says RAH-RAH.
Aynalem says OKAY, XANDER, ENOUGH
WITH THE BEAR STUFF.
OH, HI VALERIE!
Valerie says HI.
Valerie is in her forties, with long straight blond hair with bangs. She wears glasses, blue trousers, a gray T-shirt and an unbuttoned blue plaid shirt.
Aynalem says WHAT YOU DOING?
Valerie says I'M STARTING A FIRE, SO THAT
WE CAN DO SOME COOKING TODAY.
Aynalem says SMELLS GOOD, SMELLS
LIKE CAMPFIRE.
Valerie says WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO
SOME CORN ON THE COB
OVER THE OPEN FLAME.
Aynalem says CORN ON THE COB ON THE FIRE?
HOW IS THIS GONNA WORK?
Valerie says TAKE A COB OF CORN EACH,
OPEN UP THE LEAVES.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS SEE THE
CORN AND THEN REMOVE THE SILK,
SORT OF RUB IT
OFF, PULL IT OFF.
THIS IS THE TASSEL, THIS IS PART
OF THE CORN THAT ALLOWS IT TO
GET POLLINATED, SO THAT WE
ACTUALLY HAVE CORN KERNELS.
Aynalem says WHAT'S
POLLINATED MEAN?
Valerie says WELL, POLLINATED IS WHEN WE
HAVE ALL THE BUTTERFLIES
AND BEES DO THEIR JOB.
An animated bee pops up and says POLLINATE.
Valerie says PUTTING SOME POLLEN FROM
ONE CORNHUSK TO ANOTHER ONE.
Aynalem says OKAY.
Valerie says WRAP THOSE LEAVES BACK
UP ON THE CORN COB,
AND WE'RE GONNA PUT
IT IN SOME WATER.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO
IS SOAK THE LEAVES,
SO THAT WHEN WE PUT IT ON
THE FIRE THEY DON'T BURN.
Xander says WHAT'S NEXT?
Valerie says HOW ABOUT IF YOU QUARTER
SOME OF THESE LIMES,
AND I'M GONNA HAVE YOU
GRATE SOME PARMESAN CHEESE.
Xander says IT'S STINKY.
Valerie says IT IS A
LITTLE BIT.
AND IT'S QUITE
SALTY AS WELL.
Aynalem says ARE THERE
ANIMALS HERE?
Valerie says OF COURSE THERE ARE,
THIS IS THEIR HOME.
SO, WE HAVE BEARS AND
WOLVES AND ELK AND DEER,
ALL OF THEM
LIVE HERE.
Xander says TOLD YOU SO,
AYNALEM.
Aynalem says I GUESS YOU
WERE RIGHT.
Xander says WHAT DO YOU DO
HERE IN THE PARK?
Valerie says I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE RIDING MOUNTAIN
BIOSPHERE RESERVE.
Aynalem says OH, WHAT IS THAT?
Valerie says A BIOSPHERE RESERVE IS A
PLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND NATURE
KIND OF WORK TOGETHER.
SO, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY
AS PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT.
Xander says SO THAT'S LIKE PEOPLE
LOOKING AFTER THE FOREST.
SO, WE GOT ENOUGH
OF THIS, RIGHT?
Valerie says I THINK WE DO.
Xander says SO, IT'S READY?
Valerie says IT IS, IT SOAKED FOR
ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
Xander says OKAY.
Valerie says PEEL BACK SOME OF LEAVES, PUT
A COUPLE OF PATS OF BUTTER
ON TOP OF THIS CORN.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME
SALT AND PEPPER.
Aynalem says I LIKE SALT
AND PEPPER.
Valerie says AND THEN WE'RE GONNA WRAP
IT RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.
Aynalem says THIS IS LIKE
CHRISTMAS IN REVERSE.
Valerie says ROLL, ROLL,
ROLL, PERFECT.
Xander says TIME TO GET COOKING.
Aynalem grabs a wrapped corn with a pair of grilling tongs and put it on the grill.
Valerie says GRAB IT.
Aynalem says THIS WAY?
Valerie says YEAH, PERFECT.
Aynalem says AND THEN HOW LONG
DOES IT STAY THERE?
Valerie says ABOUT 15 MINUTES, BUT WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO TURN IT
ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES.
LET'S PUT A LITTLE
BUTTER ONTO THE FIRE,
SO THAT WE CAN MELT IT.
Xander says BUTTER IS MELTED,
CORN ALMOST READY.
OH, I CAN SMELL
THE CORN COOKING.
IT'S GONNA BE SO
JUICY AND DELICIOUS.
Valerie says WE'RE GONNA GRAB OUR
CORN AND UNWRAP IT.
HOW DOES IT LOOK?
Aynalem says IT LOOKS SO GOOD, MM.
Valerie says PULL THESE LEAVES
ALL THE WAY BACK,
GONNA ROLL YOUR
CORN IN THE BUTTER,
INTO THE CHEESE,
BEAUTIFUL.
LOOK AT THAT.
A LITTLE BIT OF
SMOKED PAPRIKA ON IT.
Aynalem says WHAT'S THAT?
Valerie says IT'S A SPICE, A
LITTLE BIT SMOKY.
IT TASTES LIKE THE
SMELL OF THE CAMPFIRE.
Xander says SMOKY AND DELICIOUS.
Aynalem says TIME FOR SOME LIME.
Valerie says AND THAT'LL GIVE IT JUST A
TINY, LITTLE BIT OF A TANG.
NOW TRY IT.
Aynalem says MM.
Xander says MMMM.
THE CORN IS SO JUICY AND
CHEESY WITH THAT TOUCH OF LIME,
IT'S SO NICE.
Aynalem says BEST CORN

She sprays John one more time.
Kelly says THERE WE GO.
Aynalem says ONE MORE SPRAY,
PERFECT.

Kelly says OKAY, SEE YA.
An animated dog in a suit appears.
An announcer says OH, WINSTON, IT'S TIME TO TALK
ABOUT BEETS,
Winston snaps his fingers and taps his feet.
The announcer says NOT MUSICAL BEATS,
WINSTON, VEGETABLE BEETS!
BEETS ARE A ROOT VEGETABLE
BENEFITS, INCLUDING PROTECTING
YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS.
NOT A MUSICAL ORGAN, WINSTON!
THAT MEANS THEY HELP
KEEP YOUR INSIDES STRONG.
THEY'VE ALSO GOT A LOT OF
VITAMIN A THAT HELPS KEEP
YOUR EYES HEALTHY.
SO GO AHEAD AND PUT THE
NUTRITIOUS BEETS IN SALAD,
IN SOUPS, OR ON THEIR OWN.
OKAY, WINSTON,
NOW YOU CAN DANCE!
Xander says THIS IS MASON
FROM THE FOXTAIL.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME
PIZZA ON A WOOD FIRE OVEN,
BUT FIRST HE'S SENDING
ME ON A FOOD ADVENTURE.
Xander pops up in the middle of a wheat field.
Xander says NOW I JUST GOT TO FIND IT.
HERE PIGGY, PIGGY, PIGGY, PIGGY.
I'M ON THE HUNT FOR SOME PIGS.
(OINK)
HEY RYAN.
Ryan says HEY XANDER, HOW DID
YOU END UP HERE?
Ryan is in his thirties, with short blond hair and a shadow of a beard. He wears beige trousers and a gray sweater.
Xander says UM, I KIND OF
STARTED WALKING.
Ryan says SO, I HEAR YOU WANT
TO MEET SOME PIGS.
An animated pig pops up and says WEE-WEE.
YEAH, MEET
SOME PIGS.
COME, COME,
COME, COME, COME!
(BANGING)
A group of pigs come towards them.
Ryan says DO YOU WANT TO
DUMP SOME IN?
SURE.
(OINKING)
Xander dumps some food in a bucket.
Ryan says ALL RIGHT,
THERE YOU GO.
Xander says AH, LOOK AT
ALL THE PIGGIES.
COME HERE PIGGY,
PIGGY, TIME TO EAT.
SO, WHAT KIND OF
PIGS ARE THESE?
Ryan says WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT
KINDS OF PIGS.
WE'VE GOT THIS PINK
LARGE WHITE PIG,
AND THEN WE'VE GOT
THE BLACK BERKSHIRE.
Xander says SO, DO THEY DO
DIFFERENT THINGS?
Ryan says A PIG IS A PIG.
THEY'RE BOTH
REALLY FUN.
Xander says SO, WHO IS THAT
KID OVER THERE?
Ryan says THAT'S MY SON TIAGO.
HE HELPS ME ALL THE
TIME WITH THE PIGS.
Xander says HI TIAGO.
Tiago is around 6, with short wavy brown hair and wears blue sweatpants and a blue T-shirt.
Xander says KIDS LOVE PIGS.
SO IS THIS A
FREE-RANGE FARM?
Ryan says IT IS, WE HAVE FREE-RANGE
PIGS FULLY PASTURED,
SO THEY'RE OUTDOORS
ALL THE TIME.
Xander says SO, HOW MANY
PIGS DO YOU HAVE?
Ryan says I HAVE ALMOST
40 PIGS.
Xander says THAT'S A LOT
OF BACON.
Ryan laughs.
Xander says CAN I PET THEM
AND TALK TO THEM?
Ryan says DEFINITELY.
AND WHEN WE TALK TO THEM, WE
TRY AND SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE.
THEY PROBABLY THINK WE'RE CRAZY,
BUT WE CAN OINK LIKE THEM.
(OINKING)
The animated pig appears and says WEE-WEE.
(OINKING)
Ryan says I THINK YOU'RE SAYING
I'M HUNGRY, TOO.
Xander says SO, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING I
SHOULD PROBABLY NAME THESE GUYS.
Ryan says HAVE ANY GOOD
IDEAS FOR NAMES?
Xander says KEVIN BACON, BACON-BACON,
BACON JR., CHRIS P. BACON,
JOHN HAM, SNORTER.
Ryan says I'M GETTING THE SENSE THAT
YOU REALLY LIKE BACON.
Xander says MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.
Ryan says DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE BACON
COMES FROM ON THE PIG?
Xander says I THINK IT COMES
FROM THE STOMACH?
Ryan says YOU'RE RIGHT, YEAH, THAT'S
THE BACON RIGHT THERE.
Xander says HELLO BACON.
Ryan says DO YOU WANT TO GO SEE
THEM IN THEIR WALLOW?
Xander says WHAT'S A WALLOW?
Ryan says THIS IS WHERE THEY
COME TO COOL DOWN.
Xander says SO, IT'S LIKE A
PIG SWIMMING POOL.
Ryan says EXACTLY.
Xander says OH, THEY
REALLY LIKE IT.
Ryan says OH YEAH.
Xander says IT'S KIND OF DISTURBING
TO WATCH THEM ROLLING AROUND
IN THAT THICK MUD, BUT
IT PROTECTS THEIR SKIN
FROM GETTING SUNBURNED.
IT'S NOT REALLY FOR ME,
BUT I THINK IF I WAS A PIG,
I'D PROBABLY TRY IT.
YEAH.
OF COURSE THE REASON I CAME
HERE, I GOT TO GET SOME BACON.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO THE
FOXTAIL BISTRO LATER,
AND I NEED SOME
BACON FOR PIZZA.
Ryan says I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT HERE, BUT
I'LL ARRANGE TO GET SOME TO YA.
Xander says REALLY? THAT
WOULD BE GREAT.
THANKS SO MUCH.
Ryan says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Xander says TIME TO GET
COOKING.
(music plays)
Aynalem says WE'RE AT

COOK SOME FOOD.
Aynalem says NICE.
Chris says WE'RE GONNA TAKE THESE BEETS
THAT I BOILED OFF HERE,
AND WE'RE GONNA SHOCK
THEM IN THIS COLD WATER.
Aynalem says I THOUGHT BEETS
WERE PURPLE.
Chris says THERE'S ALL KINDS
OF DIFFERENT BEETS.
I MEAN WE GOT SOME
RAINBOW BEETS HERE.
Aynalem says OH REALLY?
Chris says THESE ARE GOLDEN BEETS, AND THEN
WE GOT SOME RED ONES AS WELL.
Aynalem says OH YEAH, THOSE
ARE THE ONES.
Chris says YEAH, THESE ARE THE MORE
COMMON ONE THAT YOU SEE,
YEAH.
AND YOU CAN SEE ACTUALLY
THE RED COMING OUT OF THEM.
Aynalem says IT LOOKS PRETTY.
I NEVER REALIZED THAT BEETS COME
IN SO MANY DIFFERENT COLOURS.
Chris says SO, WE GOT IT ON ICE HERE,
AND THAT'S GONNA CAUSE
THE SKIN TO POP OFF.
SEE HOW IT JUST
FALLS RIGHT OFF?
Aynalem says YEAH.
Chris says LOOK AT THAT COLOUR,
ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
Aynalem says YEAH, THAT'S SO PRETTY.
Chris says WHILE THOSE ARE COOLING, I'LL
GET YOU TO PEEL THIS BEET.
Aynalem says OKAY.
IT'S WHITE INSIDE.
Chris says MM-HMM, IT'S GOT DIFFERENT
COLOURS THROUGHOUT,
KIND OF LIKE
A CANDY CANE.
YOU'RE GETTING IT.
THIS IS A JAPANESE
TURNING SLICER.
WELL YOU JUST PUT IT THERE AND

He spiralizes the beet.
Aynalem says WOW, THAT'S SO COOL.

THE COLOURS.
BUT IT'S
PURPLE OR PINK.
Chris says YEAH, SO IT'S
WHITE AND PINK.
IT'S A VERY NICE SWEET
BEET, REFRESHING, EARTHY.
Aynalem says I THINK IT LOOKS
KIND OF LIKE ONIONS.
Chris says MM-HMM.
A LITTLE BIT.
SO THAT IS OUR
GARNISH FOR THE SALAD.
Chris grabs one of the golden beets and NOW, WE'RE GONNA TAKE ONE OF
THESE BEAUTIES, CUT THAT OFF,
AND THEN THIS WE
CUT INTO QUARTERS.
LAY IT DOWN FLAT.
Aynalem says MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS HAVE AN
ADULT WHEN YOU'RE USING A KNIFE.
She now cuts the regular beets.
Chris says PERFECT.
Aynalem says AND THIS PART?
Chris says AND THAT, YEAH,
YEAH, BRILLIANT.
NOW THAT'S THE RAINBOW
OR THE CANDY CANE BEET.
Aynalem says YEAH, IT LOOKS REALLY
COOL, DOESN'T IT?
OU, I LOVE THE COLOUR.
IT KIND OF LOOKS
LIKE TOMATOES.
Chris says THIS IS A
GOOSEBERRY DRESSING.
Aynalem says IS IT MADE
OUT OF GOOSE?
Chris says NO, NO, NO, IT IS MADE OUT
OF GOOSEBERRIES THOUGH.
Aynalem says WHAT IS A
GOOSEBERRY?
Chris says THESE ARE A CAPED GOOSEBERRY,
AND THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE
LANTERNS, AND IT'S KIND
OF A CITRUSY BERRY.
Aynalem says OKAY.
Chris says WE'RE GONNA FIRE IN A
LITTLE BIT OF SHALLOTS.
Aynalem says WHAT'S SHALLOTS,
IS IT LIKE ONION?
Chris says SHALLOT'S LIKE A SWEET ONION,
LIKE A LITTLE, TINY BABY ONION.
OKAY, SO NOW WE WANT
TO TOSS THAT UP.
YOU WANT TO PUT
IT ON YOUR PLATE.
Aynalem says THAT LOOKS SO
BEAUTIFUL.
Chris says AND THIS IS GOAT CHEESE, SO YOU
WANT TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
GOAT CHEESE ON THERE.
AND THESE ARE
CANDIED PECANS.
Aynalem says OKAY.
OU, THAT'S JUST
SO BEAUTIFUL.
(music plays)
Xander enters a pizza restaurant and says THIS IS MASON.
HE MAKES ALL THE PIZZAS HERE.
OH, HEY MASON.
Mason says HOW'S IT
GOING, XANDER?
Mason is in his thirties, with wavy brown hair and a beard. He wears black trousers, a black T-shirt, a black apron and a pale gray cap hat.
Mason says GOOD TO SEE YA.
WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING
OUR CINDER AND SMOKE,
IT'S OUR MOST POPULAR
PIZZA HERE AT FOXTAIL.
SO OUR FIRST STEP OBVIOUSLY
IS GONNA BE TO ROLL THE DOUGH.
Xander says OOPS, IT'S COLD.
Mason says YOU WANT TO LAY IT DOWN
FLAT JUST LIKE THIS.
Xander says OH.
Mason says IT'S THE EASIEST
WAY TO DO IT.
Xander says IT'S A SMALL
PIZZA NOW.
Mason says COVER IT ALL
IN THIS SEMOLINA.
Xander says SEMOLINA,
WHAT'S THAT?
Mason says IT'S A VERY FINE
GROUND UP WHEAT.
WE JUST KIND OF USE IT JUST SO
IT DOESN'T STICK TO EVERYTHING.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FORM IT
INTO SOMEWHAT OF A CIRCLE.
Xander rolls out the dough and says JUST TO WARN YOU, MY CIRCLE
MIGHT TURN INTO A SQUARE.
Mason says OH.
ANOTHER THING THAT YOU
COULD DO IS JUST KIND OF USE
YOUR HANDS TO KIND
OF STRETCH IT OUT.
LOOKING PRETTY GOOD,
EH, ALMOST DONE?
JUST ONE MORE STEP
THAT WE GOT TO TAKE.
Xander says WHAT'S THAT?
Mason says YOU GOT TO TRY
TOSSING IT IN THE AIR.
GIVE IT A SHOT.
GET IT ONTO YOUR HANDS, KIND OF
SPREAD YOUR HANDS OUT LIKE THIS,
THROW IT IN THE AIR
AND TURN YOUR HANDS.
Xander says HA-HA-HA.
Mason says PERFECT.
Xander says AT FIRST WHEN YOU THROW
THE DOUGH IN THE AIR,
IT'S PRETTY TRICKY, BUT
THEN IT'S REALLY FUN.
(TEAR)
Mason says OH-OH, NOW WE GOT
A BIG HOLE GOING.
Xander says I'M GONNA HAVE
TO FIX THIS.
Mason says JUST PATCH UP THE HOLES
AND WE GOOD TO GO.
WELL, HOW DO YOU FEEL?
GOOD WITH THAT ONE?
Xander says YUP.
Mason says WE GOT TO GET SOME
SAUCE ON THERE.
PUT IT RIGHT IN THE CENTRE AND
JUST KIND OF SMEAR IT AROUND
'TIL YOU COVER IT ALL.
SO OUR NEXT STEP, WE
ALWAYS PUT OUR CHICKEN
UNDERNEATH THE CHEESE.
GET A HANDFUL, OR
HOWEVER MUCH YOU LIKE.
Xander says YEAH.
Mason says IS THAT ENOUGH
CHICKEN FOR YA?
Xander says MAYBE A LITTLE
BIT MORE.
A LITTLE BIT
MORE, GOOD JOB.
Xander says THERE WE GO.
Mason says MOZZARELLA.
NOW I KNOW YOU'RE
A CHEESE GUY,
SO PUT AS MUCH AS
YOU'D LIKE ON THERE.
Xander sprinkles the cheese on the pizza and says OUUUU.
Mason says IS THAT GOOD?
OH, A LITTLE
BIT MORE.
NOW WE ADD THE VEGGIES,
THE RED PEPPER AND CORN.
JUST KIND OF GIVE IT A
NICE LITTLE SPRINKLE.
Xander says LOVE ME SOME CORN.
Mason says GOOD, NOW WE GO
ONTO THE RED PEPPER.
Xander says I ALSO LOVE
ME SOME RED PEPPER.
PIZZA JUST ISN'T
THE SAME WITHOUT IT.
LET'S FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT PEPPERS.
An animation shows a cat in a chef’s uniform sleeping on a cloud, holding a red pepper.
An announcer says HEY HONEY, DID YOU KNOW BELL
FAMILY OF VEGETABLES?
(SNORING)
VERY FUNNY PEPPER!
THEY ALSO LOOK LIKE
CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS,
AND THEY'RE A NICE NUTRITIOUS
GIFT FOR YOUR BODY.
ONE OF THE GIFTS RED PEPPERS
GIVE YOU IS A LOT OF VITAMIN C,
EVEN MORE THAN ORANGES.
PEPPERS COME IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COLOURS, TOO,
JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND
EACH ARE ALL SO GOOD FOR YOU.
BELL PEPPERS ALSO
CONTAIN ANTIOXIDANT AND
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY NUTRIENTS.
IT JUST MEANS IT'S ALL
GOOD FOR YOU, HONEY.
(music plays)
Mason says NOW, WE PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
CHEDDAR CHEESE ON THERE JUST
TO KIND OF GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT
OF COLOUR WHEN IT COMES OUT OF
THE OVEN, BUT IN YOUR CASE,
YOU JUST LOVE THE CHEESE.
WE NEED THE
BACON ON THERE.
Xander says THERE'S MY BACON.
An animated pig pops up and says WEE-WEE.
Mason says YOU CAN CHOP IT
ALL UP, YEAH.
Xander says THIS IS THE MAGICAL
INGREDIENT.
SO, DOES EVERY PIZZA YOU MAKE
HERE HAVE THIS MUCH STUFF ON IT?
Mason says USUALLY WE TRY TO HOLD BACK ON
THE CHEESE A LITTLE BIT BUT.
Xander says NAH.
He spreads the bacon on the pizza.
Mason says HAPPY WITH THAT?
Xander says YEAH, I'M HAPPY.
Mason says ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET IT IN THE OVEN.
Xander says IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD.
Mason says WE'RE GONNA USE
OUR PADDLE.
Xander says WHOA, IT'S LIKE
A BIG SPOON!
Mason says AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO GET IT ON TOP,
AND GET ONE HAND ON THE PIZZA,
JUST KIND OF LIFT IT UP AND JUST
KIND OF SLIDE IT FORWARD AS
YOU SLIDE THE PIZZA BACKWARDS.
Xander says THIS IS DEFINITELY THE
HARDEST THING SO FAR.
Mason says THERE WE GO.
Xander says YEA, TO THE OVEN!
(music plays)
Aynalem says THE BEAUTIFUL
BEET SALAD IS MADE.
I JUST HAVE TO TASTE IT.
MM, THAT'S SUPER GOOD.
Chris says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT,
THAT'S DELICIOUS.
Aynalem says WAIT A SECOND, YOU SAID
SOMETHING ABOUT STEAK.
Chris says WELL, I GOT A COUPLE OF NEW
YORKS HERE WE'RE GONNA GRILL UP.
GOT THIS
BARBECUE GOING.
WE WANT TO SEASON
THEM FIRST.
Aynalem says MM-HMM.
BARBECUING STEAKS OUTSIDE
IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
HOW DO YOU
COOK A STEAK?
Chris says WELL, I LIKE MY STEAK BLUE,
RARE, WHICH IS BARELY COOKED,
HOWEVER NOT EVERYBODY
IS INTO THAT.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
YOUR STEAK?
DO YOU LIKE A LITTLE
PINK IN THE MIDDLE?
Aynalem says I LIKE IT
MOSTLY COOKED.
Chris says YEAH, SO THAT WOULD BE MORE LIKE
A MEDIUM WELL TO A WELL DONE.
Aynalem says WHAT KIND OF
LEVELS ARE THERE?
Chris says WELL YOU GOT BLUE, WHICH IS
BASICALLY 15 SECONDS ON EACH
SIDE IF THAT, AND THEN
YOU GO TO BLUE RARE, RARE,
WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON,
MEDIUM RARE, MEDIUM,
AND THEN TO MEDIUM WELL
AND THEN WELL DONE.
Aynalem says WOW, THAT'S A LOT.
I THINK IT'S NEAT HOW
STEAK CHANGES JUST BY
HOW LONG YOU COOK 'EM.
Chris says OH, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR
STEAKS ARE READY TO COOK.
SO, THE FLUID IS
STARTING TO COME UP,
SO IF YOU FLIP NOW IT'S GONNA
BE MORE LIKE A MEDIUM.
Aynalem says OKAY.
Chris says THERE YOU GO,
PERFECT.
Aynalem says OU, THAT LOOKS
REALLY GOOD.
Chris says THIS ONE'S PROBABLY
PRETTY MUCH READY.
THAT'LL BE, LIKE,
MEDIUM RARE.
SO, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
COOK A STEAK IS YOU WANT TO PUT
IT ASIDE AND LET IT REST, SO
THE FLUID IS GONNA COME UP OUT
OF THE STEAK AND THEN
GET DRAWN BACK INTO IT.
PERFECT.
(music plays)
At the pizza restaurant, Xander says SO, HOW DO I PUT
THIS PIZZA IN HERE?
Mason says NOW YOU WANT TO GET IT
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FIRE,
TIP THE NOSE OF
THE PADDLE DOWN,
AND YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO
SHAKE IT RIGHT INTO PLACE.
PERFECT.
Xander says YOU GOT TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
WITH A FIRE LIKE THIS.
IF YOU HAVE A PIZZA
OVEN IN YOUR HOUSE,
YOU PROBABLY KNOW
HOW HOT IT IS.
SO, HOW LONG DOES
THIS TAKE TO COOK?
Mason says OUR OVEN'S ABOUT 1300 degrees,
SO PROBABLY ONLY ABOUT
A MINUTE AND A HALF.
Xander says WOW, NOW THAT'S
FAST FOOD.
Mason says MUCH BETTER THAN
FAST FOOD.
Xander says ALL RIGHT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A PIZZA
COOK THIS FAST BEFORE.
Mason says I THINK IT'S DONE.
GO AHEAD AND
PULL IT OUT.
KEEP THE TIP OF YOUR PADDLE
DOWN AND GIVE IT ONE MORE PUSH,
GET UNDERNEATH IT JUST
LIKE THAT, PULL IT OUT.
Xander says WHOA.
Mason says THERE YOU GO.
Xander says I CAN'T WAIT
TO EAT IT.
Mason says THIS IS GONNA

SOME CORN ON THE COB
OVER THE OPEN FLAME.
Aynalem says CORN ON THE COB ON THE FIRE?
HOW IS THIS GONNA WORK?
Valerie says TAKE A COB OF CORN EACH,
OPEN UP THE LEAVES.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS SEE THE
CORN AND THEN REMOVE THE SILK,
SORT OF RUB IT
OFF, PULL IT OFF.
THIS IS THE TASSEL, THIS IS PART
OF THE CORN THAT ALLOWS IT TO
GET POLLINATED, SO THAT WE
ACTUALLY HAVE CORN KERNELS.
Aynalem says WHAT'S
POLLINATED MEAN?
Valerie says WELL, POLLINATED IS WHEN WE
HAVE ALL THE BUTTERFLIES
AND BEES DO THEIR JOB.

WERE RIGHT.
Xander says WHAT DO YOU DO
HERE IN THE PARK?
Valerie says I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE RIDING MOUNTAIN
BIOSPHERE RESERVE.
Aynalem says OH, WHAT IS THAT?
Valerie says A BIOSPHERE RESERVE IS A
PLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND NATURE
KIND OF WORK TOGETHER.
SO, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY
AS PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT.
Xander says SO THAT'S LIKE PEOPLE
LOOKING AFTER THE FOREST.
SO, WE GOT ENOUGH
OF THIS, RIGHT?
Valerie says I THINK WE DO.
Xander says SO, IT'S READY?
Valerie says IT IS, IT SOAKED FOR
ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
Xander says OKAY.
Valerie says PEEL BACK SOME OF LEAVES, PUT
A COUPLE OF PATS OF BUTTER
ON TOP OF THIS CORN.

CORN IN THE BUTTER,
INTO THE CHEESE,

LOOK AT THAT.
A LITTLE BIT OF
SMOKED PAPRIKA ON IT.
Aynalem says WHAT'S THAT?

An animated dog in a suit appears.
An announcer says OH, WINSTON, IT'S TIME TO TALK

Winston snaps his fingers and taps his feet.
The announcer says NOT MUSICAL BEATS,
WINSTON, VEGETABLE BEETS!
BEETS ARE A ROOT VEGETABLE
BENEFITS, INCLUDING PROTECTING
YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS.
NOT A MUSICAL ORGAN, WINSTON!
THAT MEANS THEY HELP
KEEP YOUR INSIDES STRONG.
THEY'VE ALSO GOT A LOT OF
VITAMIN A THAT HELPS KEEP

SO GO AHEAD AND PUT THE
NUTRITIOUS BEETS IN SALAD,
IN SOUPS, OR ON THEIR OWN.
OKAY, WINSTON,

Ryan says HEY XANDER, HOW DID
YOU END UP HERE?
Ryan is in his thirties, with short blond hair and a shadow of a beard. He wears beige trousers and a gray sweater.
Xander says UM, I KIND OF
STARTED WALKING.
Ryan says SO, I HEAR YOU WANT
TO MEET SOME PIGS.
An animated pig pops up and says WEE-WEE.
YEAH, MEET
SOME PIGS.
COME, COME,
COME, COME, COME!
(BANGING)
A group of pigs come towards them.
Ryan says DO YOU WANT TO
DUMP SOME IN?

(OINKING)
Xander dumps some food in a bucket.
Ryan says ALL RIGHT,
THERE YOU GO.
Xander says AH, LOOK AT
ALL THE PIGGIES.
COME HERE PIGGY,
PIGGY, TIME TO EAT.
SO, WHAT KIND OF
PIGS ARE THESE?
Ryan says WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT
KINDS OF PIGS.
WE'VE GOT THIS PINK
LARGE WHITE PIG,
AND THEN WE'VE GOT
THE BLACK BERKSHIRE.
Xander says SO, DO THEY DO
DIFFERENT THINGS?
Ryan says A PIG IS A PIG.
THEY'RE BOTH
REALLY FUN.
Xander says SO, WHO IS THAT
KID OVER THERE?
Ryan says THAT'S MY SON TIAGO.
HE HELPS ME ALL THE
TIME WITH THE PIGS.
Xander says HI TIAGO.
Tiago is around 6, with short wavy brown hair and wears blue sweatpants and a blue T-shirt.

ALL THE TIME.
Xander says SO, HOW MANY
PIGS DO YOU HAVE?
Ryan says I HAVE ALMOST
40 PIGS.
Xander says THAT'S A LOT
OF BACON.
Ryan laughs.
Xander says CAN I PET THEM
AND TALK TO THEM?
Ryan says DEFINITELY.
AND WHEN WE TALK TO THEM, WE
TRY AND SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE.
THEY PROBABLY THINK WE'RE CRAZY,
BUT WE CAN OINK LIKE THEM.
(OINKING)
The animated pig appears and says WEE-WEE.
(OINKING)
Ryan says I THINK YOU'RE SAYING
I'M HUNGRY, TOO.
Xander says SO, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING I
SHOULD PROBABLY NAME THESE GUYS.
Ryan says HAVE ANY GOOD
IDEAS FOR NAMES?
Xander says KEVIN BACON, BACON-BACON,
BACON JR., CHRIS P. BACON,
JOHN HAM, SNORTER.
Ryan says I'M GETTING THE SENSE THAT
YOU REALLY LIKE BACON.
Xander says MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.
Ryan says DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE BACON
COMES FROM ON THE PIG?
Xander says I THINK IT COMES
FROM THE STOMACH?
Ryan says YOU'RE RIGHT, YEAH, THAT'S
THE BACON RIGHT THERE.
Xander says HELLO BACON.
Ryan says DO YOU WANT TO GO SEE
THEM IN THEIR WALLOW?
Xander says WHAT'S A WALLOW?
Ryan says THIS IS WHERE THEY
COME TO COOL DOWN.
Xander says SO, IT'S LIKE A
PIG SWIMMING POOL.
Ryan says EXACTLY.
Xander says OH, THEY
REALLY LIKE IT.
Ryan says OH YEAH.
Xander says IT'S KIND OF DISTURBING
TO WATCH THEM ROLLING AROUND
IN THAT THICK MUD, BUT
IT PROTECTS THEIR SKIN
FROM GETTING SUNBURNED.
IT'S NOT REALLY FOR ME,
BUT I THINK IF I WAS A PIG,
I'D PROBABLY TRY IT.
YEAH.
OF COURSE THE REASON I CAME
HERE, I GOT TO GET SOME BACON.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO THE
FOXTAIL BISTRO LATER,
AND I NEED SOME
BACON FOR PIZZA.
Ryan says I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT HERE, BUT
I'LL ARRANGE TO GET SOME TO YA.
Xander says REALLY? THAT

THANKS SO MUCH.
Ryan says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Xander says TIME TO GET

Mason says GOOD, NOW WE GO
ONTO THE RED PEPPER.
Xander says I ALSO LOVE
ME SOME RED PEPPER.
PIZZA JUST ISN'T
THE SAME WITHOUT IT.
LET'S FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT PEPPERS.
An animation shows a cat in a chef’s uniform sleeping on a cloud, holding a red pepper.
An announcer says HEY HONEY, DID YOU KNOW BELL
FAMILY OF VEGETABLES?
(SNORING)
VERY FUNNY PEPPER!
THEY ALSO LOOK LIKE
CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS,
AND THEY'RE A NICE NUTRITIOUS
GIFT FOR YOUR BODY.
ONE OF THE GIFTS RED PEPPERS
GIVE YOU IS A LOT OF VITAMIN C,
EVEN MORE THAN ORANGES.
PEPPERS COME IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COLOURS, TOO,
JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND
EACH ARE ALL SO GOOD FOR YOU.
BELL PEPPERS ALSO
CONTAIN ANTIOXIDANT AND
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY NUTRIENTS.
IT JUST MEANS IT'S ALL
GOOD FOR YOU, HONEY.
(music plays)
Mason says NOW, WE PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
CHEDDAR CHEESE ON THERE JUST
TO KIND OF GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT
OF COLOUR WHEN IT COMES OUT OF
THE OVEN, BUT IN YOUR CASE,
YOU JUST LOVE THE CHEESE.
WE NEED THE
BACON ON THERE.
Xander says THERE'S MY BACON.
An animated pig pops up and says WEE-WEE.
Mason says YOU CAN CHOP IT
ALL UP, YEAH.
Xander says THIS IS THE MAGICAL
INGREDIENT.
SO, DOES EVERY PIZZA YOU MAKE
HERE HAVE THIS MUCH STUFF ON IT?
Mason says USUALLY WE TRY TO HOLD BACK ON
THE CHEESE A LITTLE BIT BUT.
Xander says NAH.
He spreads the bacon on the pizza.
Mason says HAPPY WITH THAT?
Xander says YEAH, I'M HAPPY.
Mason says ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET IT IN THE OVEN.
Xander says IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD.
Mason says WE'RE GONNA USE
OUR PADDLE.
Xander says WHOA, IT'S LIKE
A BIG SPOON!
Mason says AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO GET IT ON TOP,
AND GET ONE HAND ON THE PIZZA,
JUST KIND OF LIFT IT UP AND JUST
KIND OF SLIDE IT FORWARD AS
YOU SLIDE THE PIZZA BACKWARDS.
Xander says THIS IS DEFINITELY THE
HARDEST THING SO FAR.
Mason says THERE WE GO.
Xander says YEA, TO THE OVEN!
(music plays)
Aynalem says THE BEAUTIFUL
BEET SALAD IS MADE.
I JUST HAVE TO TASTE IT.
MM, THAT'S SUPER GOOD.
Chris says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT,
THAT'S DELICIOUS.
Aynalem says WAIT A SECOND, YOU SAID
SOMETHING ABOUT STEAK.
Chris says WELL, I GOT A COUPLE OF NEW
YORKS HERE WE'RE GONNA GRILL UP.
GOT THIS
BARBECUE GOING.
WE WANT TO SEASON
THEM FIRST.
Aynalem says MM-HMM.
BARBECUING STEAKS OUTSIDE
IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
HOW DO YOU
COOK A STEAK?
Chris says WELL, I LIKE MY STEAK BLUE,
RARE, WHICH IS BARELY COOKED,
HOWEVER NOT EVERYBODY
IS INTO THAT.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
YOUR STEAK?
DO YOU LIKE A LITTLE
PINK IN THE MIDDLE?
Aynalem says I LIKE IT
MOSTLY COOKED.
Chris says YEAH, SO THAT WOULD BE MORE LIKE
A MEDIUM WELL TO A WELL DONE.
Aynalem says WHAT KIND OF
LEVELS ARE THERE?
Chris says WELL YOU GOT BLUE, WHICH IS
BASICALLY 15 SECONDS ON EACH
SIDE IF THAT, AND THEN
YOU GO TO BLUE RARE, RARE,
WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON,
MEDIUM RARE, MEDIUM,
AND THEN TO MEDIUM WELL
AND THEN WELL DONE.
Aynalem says WOW, THAT'S A LOT.
I THINK IT'S NEAT HOW
STEAK CHANGES JUST BY
HOW LONG YOU COOK 'EM.
Chris says OH, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR
STEAKS ARE READY TO COOK.
SO, THE FLUID IS
STARTING TO COME UP,
SO IF YOU FLIP NOW IT'S GONNA
BE MORE LIKE A MEDIUM.
Aynalem says OKAY.
Chris says THERE YOU GO,
PERFECT.
Aynalem says OU, THAT LOOKS
REALLY GOOD.
Chris says THIS ONE'S PROBABLY
PRETTY MUCH READY.
THAT'LL BE, LIKE,
MEDIUM RARE.
SO, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
COOK A STEAK IS YOU WANT TO PUT
IT ASIDE AND LET IT REST, SO
THE FLUID IS GONNA COME UP OUT
OF THE STEAK AND THEN
GET DRAWN BACK INTO IT.
PERFECT.
(music plays)
At the pizza restaurant, Xander says SO, HOW DO I PUT
THIS PIZZA IN HERE?
Mason says NOW YOU WANT TO GET IT
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FIRE,
TIP THE NOSE OF
THE PADDLE DOWN,
AND YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO
SHAKE IT RIGHT INTO PLACE.
PERFECT.
Xander says YOU GOT TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
WITH A FIRE LIKE THIS.
IF YOU HAVE A PIZZA
OVEN IN YOUR HOUSE,
YOU PROBABLY KNOW
HOW HOT IT IS.
SO, HOW LONG DOES
THIS TAKE TO COOK?
Mason says OUR OVEN'S ABOUT 1300 degrees,
SO PROBABLY ONLY ABOUT
A MINUTE AND A HALF.
Xander says WOW, NOW THAT'S
FAST FOOD.
Mason says MUCH BETTER THAN
FAST FOOD.
Xander says ALL RIGHT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A PIZZA
COOK THIS FAST BEFORE.
Mason says I THINK IT'S DONE.
GO AHEAD AND
PULL IT OUT.
KEEP THE TIP OF YOUR PADDLE
DOWN AND GIVE IT ONE MORE PUSH,
GET UNDERNEATH IT JUST
LIKE THAT, PULL IT OUT.
Xander says WHOA.
Mason says THERE YOU GO.
Xander says I CAN'T WAIT
TO EAT IT.
Mason says THIS IS GONNA
BE A GOOD ONE.
Xander says IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
THE CHEESE IS STILL BUBBLY
AND THE BACON'S ALL CRISPY.
ARE WE READY
TO EAT IT?
Mason says STILL GOT ONE
MORE STEP.
Xander says REALLY?
Mason says GRAB YOUR ROLLER, GIVE
IT A NICE SOLID PUSH,
GET IT RIGHT
CUT THROUGH.
Xander says I DID IT.
NOW LET'S EAT IT.
Mason gives him some Cheddar sauce and says NO, WE STILL GOT
ONE MORE STEP.
LET'S SEE YOUR
BEST SWIRL.
START RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AND
YOU WANT TO SWIRL IT ALL THE WAY
OUT TO THE OUTSIDE.
NOW ONE MORE STEP
IS THE PARMESAN.
Xander says MORE CHEESE.
Mason says GET IT ALL OVER.
THERE'S YOUR PIZZA.
Xander says NOW WE CAN EAT IT?
Mason says NOW WE CAN EAT IT.
Xander says YES!
(music plays)

A girl with long brown hair says PEPPERONI AND OLIVES.
A girl with brown hair in a ponytail says I REALLY LIKE CHEESE
AND PEPPERONI.
A girl with red hair and bangs says AH, CHEESE
A girl with straight light-brown hair says CHEESE.

THIS KNIFE.
Chris says THAT'S A STEAK KNIFE.
Aynalem says OH REALLY?

Aynalem says HERE YOU GO, SO IT
WORKS ON BEETS, TOO.

I'VE EVER HAD.
Chris says THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND GRILL THIS BEAUTIFUL STEAK.
Aynalem says YES, IT DOES.
Chris says THE FLAVOUR OF THE CHARCOAL
BARBECUE REALLY JUST
ADDS TO IT, YOU KNOW.
Aynalem says AND I LIKE HOW YOU CAN EAT
AND LOOK OUT THIS PRETTY VIEW,
IT'S GORGEOUS.
(music plays)

Aynalem says MM-HMM.
TIME TO GO FOR A SWIM
BEFORE I MEET UP WITH XANDER
AND HEAR ABOUT HIS
FOOD ADVENTURE.
Floating in the lake, Aynalem says AH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY
HERE IN RIDING MOUNTAIN.
Xander comes out of the water wearing a snorkle and roars.
(ROARING)
Aynalem says GREAT FOOD AND
GREAT OUTDOORS.
(ROARING)
Aynalem says COOKING OUTDOORS IS THE
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
(ROARING)
Xander says A WATER BEAR, RAHHH!
Aynalem says SERIOUSLY, XANDER,
THAT'S NOT EVEN A THING.
She hits him with her floating stick.
Xander says OW.
